Meet The Black PumasEric Burton and Adrian Quesada, co-founders of Black Pumas, have been on a rocket ship trajectory, even during a global pandemic.As Black Pumas performed their breakout hit song “Colors” for the 63rd Grammys one could see Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, and HAIM rhythmically nodding along with the audience of more than 9 million at home, further crystalizing what Team Pumas has continuously felt over the last two years: This is special.
While the last 12 months have been terrible for the touring side of the music industry, Black Pumas have somehow grown several magnitudes larger, having played the Grammys, the 46th Presidential inauguration, taking in seven late night show appearances, “The Ellen Show,” CBS’ “This Morning,” and NPR’s “Tiny Desk” concert series.
