Black Pumas (band).

Black Pumas is a popular psychedelic soul band best known for its self-titled 2019 debut album. Founded in Austin, Texas, in 2017, the band quickly earned rave reviews for its unique sound. Composed primarily of singer-songwriter Eric Burton and guitarist Adrian Quesada, Black Pumas made an immediate splash, impressing critics and earning Grammy Award nominations for Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Best American Roots Performance, and Album of the Year in 2020. In addition to performing on a variety of daytime and late-night talk shows and launching a successful North American and European live tour, Black Pumas notably contributed a live virtual performance during the televised Celebrating America special that followed President Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20, 2021. All of this helped establish the Black Pumas as one of the hottest up-and-coming acts in contemporary music and as a driving force in the reemerging psychedelic soul genre.
