KCRW To Air First Yusuf Performance In 30 Years

KCRW To Air First Yusuf Performance In 30 Years

It's been three decades since folk legend Yusuf Islam performed in the United States, but all that will change next Saturday when Santa Monica's trendsetting KCRW airs an episode of Morning Becomes Eclectic featuring the man formerly known as Cat Stevens.

The live session was recorded on December 19 at an invitation-only event in New York City, hosted by host and renowned tastemaker Nic Harcourt. The performance then aired two days later on KCRW, but the version that you'll hear on April 21 was remixed by Yusuf himself.

To tune in next weekend, head on over to KCRW.com and click "Live" for full streaming capabilities.
