Monsieur Periné: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

March 4, 2016 by FELIX CONTRERAS Monsieur Periné hails from Colombia, a country known for its Afro-Colombian cumbia, as well as New York-style salsa. Instead, however, the band has embraced 1920s-era, guitar-driven jazz from the U.S. The unlikely inspiration has resulted in a large and international following, as well as a Latin Grammy not too long ago: Monsieur Periné was named 2015’s Best New Artist. Words don’t do this band justice. Play the video and discover Monsieur Periné’s magic for yourself. Caja De Música is available now iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/caja-de-musica/id1000830433 Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Caja-De-Musica-MONSIEUR-PERINE/dp/B00YJKH3AM Set List: “Nuestra Canción” “Sabor A Mi” “La Muerte” [See More…]

Aurora: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

November 09, 2015 by BOB BOILEN The first time I saw Aurora sing, it appeared so new to her that each note, and each hand gesture accompanying each note, seemed like a discovery and an adventure for the singer. She was 18 when I first saw her in New York City, and now the Norwegian singer is 19; take a look at this Tiny Desk Concert, and her sense of innocence and discovery still rings as true as ever. Aurora has just one EP and some singles out so far, and ever since seeing her at CMJ in 2014, I’ve [See More…]

The Internet: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

September 29, 2015 by TIMMHOTEP AKU The Internet is both an anomaly and a sign of the times. No, I’m not talking about the actual Internet you’re using to read this text (though that Internet is pretty special, too), I’m talking about the L.A. band featuring founding members Syd The Kid (vocals/production) and Matt Martians (keys/ production), as well as Pat Paige (bass), Jameel Bruner (keys) and Chris Smith (drums). The band might just be the oddest thing to come from Odd Future, the collective known for its irreverence — and, of course, for making hip-hop. The Internet doesn’t stand [See More…]

Chris Stapleton: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

September 14, 2015 by JACOB GANZ As a songwriter in Nashville, Chris Stapleton has written hits for Kenny Chesney, George Strait and Darius Rucker. As a singer, he once led the bluegrass band The SteelDrivers, and more recently stepped into the solo spotlight with Traveller, his debut album. It’s the kind of country record that gets better the more you wear it in: When NPR Music named it one of our favorite albums of the first half of 2015, critic Ann Powers compared it to a “soft denim jacket … pulled out time after time, lending comfort, suiting every occasion, [See More…]

Diego El Cigala: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

Every now and then, if we are extremely lucky, we are witness to a musical game changer. That is the rare musician who single-handedly alters the direction of a genre though the power of musical vision and artistry. Diego El Cigala is one of those game changers. While he comes from the world of flamenco, he has deftly expanded his expressive range by applying his unmistakable voice to boleros, Spanish copla, tangos, jazz and various combinations of all of the above. See and hear for yourself how one musician can create something completely new by drawing on traditions that are [See More…]

DakhaBrakha: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

People always ask me, “What’s your favorite Tiny Desk Concert?” Well, right now it’s the one recently performed by DakhaBrakha. The creative quartet from Kiev, Ukraine make music that sounds like nothing I’ve ever heard, with strands of everything I’ve ever heard. There are rhythms that sound West African and drone that feels as if it could have emanated from India or Australia. At times, DakhaBrakha is simply a rock band whose crazy homeland harmonies are filled with joy. All the while, they play tight-knit tunes featuring accordion, drums, reeds and shakers while wearing tall, Marge Simpson-looking wool hats that [See More…]

Ernest Ranglin: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert 0 (0)

At 82, legendary guitarist Ernest Ranglin still plays the ska, reggae and jazz that he’s championed and helped perfect for more than half a century. Ranglin was a key figure in shaping the sounds of ska — influenced by New Orleans jazz and R&B — in Jamaica in the late 1950s. But most of the world wouldn’t hear of ska until producer Chris Blackwell teamed Ranglin up with a Jamaican singer named Millie Small. Together, they recorded “My Boy Lollipop,” a song that became a smash at the height of Beatlemania and helped put ska and Jamaican music on the [See More…]
