Black Pumas — Paste Studios, New York, 2019

Published on October 1, 2026 by

Live session from American soul duo Black Pumas filmed at Paste Studios in New York. Born in Austin from the meeting of singer Eric Burton and guitarist-producer Adrian Quesada, Black Pumas revived psychedelic soul in the late 2010s with a Grammy-nominated debut album. In the intimacy of the studio, the band performs “Black Moon Rising,” “Colors” — its best-known song — and “OCT 33,” carried by Eric Burton’s warm, inhabited voice and Adrian Quesada’s vintage textures. The polished capture (sound by Bob Mallory, video by Brad Wagner) foregrounds the organic groove and the warm rhythm section that define the band’s sound. A live concert filmed in high definition, perfect for discovering one of the most striking soul acts of its generation in close, intimate conditions. A treat for fans of retro soul and live sessions.
