Antonio Sánchez & Bad Hombre: Tiny Desk Concert

[@nprmusic]

How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

🎉This was SOOOOO much fun! What an honor it was to be able to perform on NPR’s Tiny Desk with this incredible band 🙏❤️ Thanks to everyone at Tiny Desk for making it such a great experience, especially Bob and Felix!!!

[@ByronLina]

Fantastic and unique sound. Loved it.

[@rickraymo1319]

Just freaking awesome.

[@187documents4]

you killed it!

[@alexandersh895]

great! thx a lot! very unique. Hope to see you live in Montreal sometime.

[@whatitisbuddy9785]

You were amazing!!! Bravo! 🙏🏽

[@DrumeoOfficial]

The whole band is playing beautifully. Antonio is one of the best drummers in the world, and this concert is a clinic in orchestration, dynamics, and touch. Bravo!

[@f.scott.fitzbeagle]

Ditto on the drummer. They didn't settle for bringing just part of the kit into the room because his drumming plays such an important role in the band.

[@ijiwbnerjvhbohjweuirbjh1629]

Unfortunate seeing that shes a terrible singer xD

[@aldomauricioable]

@@ijiwbnerjvhbohjweuirbjh1629 shut up pal

[@celestialnavigationmusic]

The gold standard. So nice to see a different format. Thana's vocals clean, really let her character shine through. The band doing back ups! Hot rods....Big Yuki adds so much. Antonio is a freakin' god. Lex makes us want a Moog. Talent and musicianship galore.

[@emorycarroll]

Got to see this group play at Newport Jazz last summer. This tiny desk is as incredible as always!

[@santiagomeruOficial]

Bigyuki 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 todos! Antonio tana ,

[@MOTOZILIANS]

i have watched tons of tiny decks but this is one of my favorites cuz its originality and melody amazing i haven,t heard nothing like this band ever before congratulations to this band and to npr

[@taimiclark9920]

Every since I watched this two days ago, I have not been able to stop humming Doyenne. Then I went and listened to the full album and it was AMAZING. Thank you, NPR, for introducing us all to SUCH great music

[@ThanaAlexa]

Check out the original by Thana Alexa, Nicole Zuraitis and Julia Adamy on the album "SONICA"! Antonio actually took our version and created his own with drums and added production! Our original version is just layered vocals, beatbox, electric bass and keyboards!

[@NateKristan]

Absolutely incredible!

[@iloveFreedom.]

That woke me up and will charge my day with SUPERPOWERS, FLIPPIN AWESOME!!!!!!! REAL MUSIC YESSSSSSS

[@josephdaqui2738]

This performance was so magical in every sense. Mastery of dynamics and telling stories that you simply felt as a listener. Thank and Big Yuki absolutely slayed it on mi palabra! Gracias! 👏🙏✊

[@zoellemusician]

me encanta, ojalá algún día pueda verlos en vivo.

[@jazrael]

Can't believe I got to listen to this for free

[@rocimo124]

don’t say it too loud😂

[@AlanShoesmith]

This was really incredible. I remember hearing the album on the day it was released and loving everything about it. This performance has inspired me to revisit the album. Hoping for a live Bad Hombre show in Toronto some day !

[@dwoodbury65]

This is one of my favorite Tiny Desk’s of all time. And there have been so many great ones. I also enjoyed hearing Antonio and Thana in Phoenix, AZ at The Nash about one year ago.🎉

[@noelfisher1829]

Really love this. Yay team !

[@Paramecio_Z]

[@BassMasterBruce]

Absolutely Fantastic !!! Antonio & Thana are an amazing musical couple. Lex and BigYuki provide an outstanding compliment as part of Bad Hombre.

[@raymondkarlsson9794]

Beautiful! Like a continuation of fusion at its best.

[@taman111]

Tuve la oportunidad de verlos en vivo dos veces hace 5 y 6 años en Puebla, y cada vez fue mágica y diferente, es impresionante como se reinventan y el concepto es muy bueno.

[@JX-jk9qn]

Brilliant man, brilliant band, brilliant music. Qué pinche orgullo! Viva México!

[@saulitorrrr]

Genial Sánchez! Que bello grupo!

Thana gives me mad young Gloria Estefan vibes in the looks department. I could see that first track in a Bond movie. Such cool fusion of styles, I loved it.

[@hsubrook2473]

Love those creative beats~

[@ianroberts3948]

Wow

[@tizzwozz49]

Instant top 10 Tiny Desk for me 🥰

[@chrisdepino7423]

Absolutely breathtaking. Innovative. And just plain Cool

[@PDADRUM1]

Era momento de que Antonio Sánchez tuviese su participación en Tiny Desk. Actualmente uno de los 10 bateristas mas completos y talentosos del mundo!

[@DavidMachuca]

What a great job Thana did learning Ana Tijoux lyrics 👏👏👏

[@ArielJaraMix]

Amigo! Venía a comentar lo mismo jajaja

[@ventanacaustica]

Still in love with the concert that Thana and Antonio offered at Lope de Vega Theatre in Seville four years ago. Thanks guys.

[@velasco2015]

Bad Hombre is such a dope name. Instant click

[@Wolyboly24]

NPR music delivers again. So does AS and Bad Hombre!

[@Richardiba]

I just found out about this concert! Great performance! Mr. Sanchez is a storyteller, and a wonder on those drums. Bigyuki feels like Robert Glasper + Casey Benjamin rolled into one: beautiful tone on those keys, sometimes spooky, otherwise soft and poignant. Thana's voice is impeccable whether sultry singing or hitting those staccato rhythms in her rap. Mr. Sadler is an extra element of percussion in this performance with that resounding bass. Top notch band with a top notch performance. God Bless!

[@gavilandelasierra8992]

Muy destacada Alexa en todas sus partes, felicidades, un gran logo!!!

[@sofialmon6501]
