Watch GENA (God Energy, Naturally Amazing) perform 7 songs from their album, The Pleasure Is Yours. Vocalist and songwriter Liv.e and drummer/producer Karriem Riggins released one of the most innovative and cohesive albums of 2026. Together they play with the elasticity of genres with jazz rhythms as their North Star. The Dallas to Detroit connection is a reminder of the link between J. Dilla and Erykah Badu, both of whom have ties to Riggins and Liv.e. The full band includes Muhsinah on backing vocals. The show is part of NPR’s celebration of Black Music Month.
