Black Pumas – Live in Studio

Black Pumas perform a live acoustic set in WGBH’s Fraser Performance Studio in Boston. Lead guitarist/producer Adrian Quesada was unable to join us due to a travel delay, but we were in great hands with vocalist/guitarist, Eric Burton. Quesada and Burton met each other in Austin, TX through a mutual friend who heard Burton busking in downtown Austin. The two musicians eventually connected and released their self-titled debut album in June 2019.

This what music should sound like real artists with real instruments. Power to the Black Pumas

[Absintent]

Best new voice I heard in a decade. This band has to go far. No chance that a voice like this gets lost in a crowd.

[highbimmers]

Thank you to the Black Pumas. Your music got me through some dark times in my life.

Who else found these guys while in quarantine and is now making plans to go see them? 🙋🏼‍♀️

"Black pumas help me feel alright today"-my treatment during the spring quarantine

[yolandaalcala]

I love these “acoustic” versions so much. 🤎

[julietbalcony]

You know that feeling you get when you connect with a stranger on a profound level and it feels like you have already 'known' them, and you had been 'missing' them all of your life - and now you found them again? That's how I feel about discovering this music. Where have you been Black Pumas? I have been missing YOU!!!

[DanielRam]

Just discovered Black Pumas from the Grammys and I’m obsessed with them. Their music literally takes me to another level and brings me so much calmness and joy

[beetoven]

The most soul in a voice that I've heard in way too long.

[jra]

Man this isn’t even my kind of music. I was watching random videos, as we all do, lost track - and auto-play landed me here. This is what excellent. This man has some serious talent. He’s got such a great sound.

[Jasmine-nywe]

It's crazy to see those dislikes, I listen to this everyday while getting ready for work and while driving. I love Eric, I wish there was no pandemic. I would have loved to see them ❣❣

[jwvandegronden]

Man, Colors hit me deep... What a beautiful song!!!

[cestmoi]

Damn! That’s what can be done with a nursery rhyme?!?!
❤️🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥❤️

[IsaDesOsiers]

I just made a new discovery! Love the Black Pumas now!!! Full of beautiful poetic soul.

[minaissue]

Excuse my english 😌

[SherylInnerarity]

One of the few albums I've listened to repeatedly in my car in years.

[SoulGlowHealing]

I could just listen to this band all day every day

[leubbersilva]

Para o que a gente vive no Brasil hoje, ouvir Black Pumas é luz, thank you guys! [Leubber Uberlândia-MG-Brasil]

[ivanaertola]
