Kassa Overall: Tiny Desk Concert

[@KASSAOVERALL]

Thank You NPR Tiny Desk for having me! This was a once in a lifetime moment! Watching the performance feels like watching a scene I dreamed in a dream.

[@apewithanego]

You all killed it!

[@joshcolebass]

Legendary performance

[@Throwawayjim119]

Loved this SO much. Just went to check out your tour schedule. If there’s anyway you all can make it to Louisville KY around the time you play Nashville, Memphis and St. Louis, I’d be there and so would all my friends! Thank you all for sharing your gift

[@williamcroker6062]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaye yooooooooooooooooooo

[@rajniieddins1825]

Beautiful Kassa! Keep Shining Fam ~ You make the Town proud

[@shelliel4130]

Just saw him tonight . He opened for Digable Planets. It was an experience. Do yourself a favor and go see him and his band live!

[@wyntje83]

never heard of this guy before but I'm off to binge every piece of music I can find. see ya'll at the next one.

[@instantclassics1336]

La Casa Azul with Roy Hargrove was one the best news of 2019…

[@ryoss110]

Same

[@KevinMerinoCreations]

My world got bigger today! Love the stylistic fusion going on here! 👏👏👏

Hats off to Ian Fink, the keys player, what a guy!!!

[@TheoCroker]

Let’s go Kassa!!!!!!!

[@romytaylor1817]

The vibe of this group is so lovely. I'm painting and I keep rewatching this concert just to keep my juices flowing...thank you, Tiny Desk!

[@therealkathleenkiddo]

Terri Lyne said it best: “pre-eminent style bender and blender, successfully juxtaposing genres through his production expertise and use of melodic and harmonic forms that deftly integrate the new with the old.”

[@javiercernuda8594]

The most interesting and intelligent band I’ve listened in many, many time 👏👏👏👏

[@chrisdabu]

The Tiny Desk sound engineering is just toooooo pure! Kassa Overall goodness gracious!

[@crystalmoon1738]

So glad I clicked on this this morning. This was a whole jam. Incredibly... rich ☀️🌺👌🏿

[@carmenip6924]

I heard freedom in their music!!!!

[@MarshallSmith-q4e]

Seattle is in the building! Beautiful.

[@dusky_og]

I have been listening to Kassa since his first project, so glad to see him on here again, and to see him live this summer :)

[@Nikya2t]

So much goosebumps at the song find me - this is so incredible

[@xtherealbasedgodx]

Umm what have I stumbled across here? I’m going through this man’s whole discography now. This is beautiful

[@reger9325]

One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen was these guys at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival, truly astounding talent across each member ❤️

[@BrentBrewington]

I love Tiny Desk Concerts, and to be honest I don’t always watch them end to end. This one I for sure did - this is what jazz looks like in 2023 “What’s the meaning of algorithms if the rhythm is out of rhythm?”

[@RebeccaYoung-df3xy]

Loved this! And loved Ian Finkelstein on keys!!

[@bigkeys1]

So much going on musically. Absolutely brilliant.

[@johnjennings8500]

Terrific performance from the first note to the last! Beautiful arrangements as well. You all killed it!

[@rahulsrrf-work]

I love this set. Getting very much a story vibe like from Anderson Paak or Lupe Fiasco

[@justinrcohn]

Incredible performance. Floored!! These songs are so beautiful and this band is so locked in. And that Nick hakim verse just casually slipped in there 🫠

[@kristaselene]

Really innovative music. Nick Hakim’s music is mesmerizing. Unjustly Underrated.

[@NickGranville]

Really enjoyed this. Haven’t heard anything this original in a while. So good

[@apewithanego]

I was so blown away by this group performing at the San Jose jazz festival. If you ever get a chance go to a show!!!

[@ayosalawu4755]

This is a masterpiece.

[@deyelleesse]

[@lejhoncotton5224]

Congratulations Kassa! Your music is so inspiring and peaceful/soothing to the soul. I really enjoyed this performance. Great chemistry within the band too.

I came here from WARP's post about The Drums Will Protect You, and that's a wonderful tiny desk concert ! I am gonna watch the film right now.

[@georgegurdjieff4320]

This is precious and absolutely has to be released on vinyl as a separate release!

[@AC-ur2mz]

That would be wonderful

THE SCREAM I LET OUT WHEN I HEARD NICK HAKIM

[@mic1029]

14:01 Kassa looked at J. Hoard expectantly and he responded beautifully. His falsetto is so emo I can't stop getting goosebumps. 16:05 ✊x✊

[@calderbischoff9739]

Amazing!!!

[@alexd.2504]

Tomoki is so slay

[@iraazela]

Music has so many different expression and this beautiful group is quite the unique experience. Thank you for being you 💞♾️ PS: The red amongst the white, respects Divine... I see you lotus.

[@spacenomad7359]

What does the red amongst the white signify?

[@Blazetraxdj]

Would like to know that as well :p

[@waynedexter]

It would do a grave disservice to pigeonhole this music into any specific genre. Plain and simple it’s just transcendent art. It also challenging and cerebral, and I’m here for it

[@siphesihlebuthelezi9184]

J Hoard 😫🔥

[@guitartchannelvideos]

love this!

[@flymomabug]

gorgeous, thank you!

[@mercoledi_falco]

I just love the drum solo so much... 9:34

[@benyahudadavidl]

For you new people around here, this is what a good music education sounds like. Superb. They have taken us on an aural journey worth every twist and turn. In fact, this is what music sounds like in my head.👊🏿🕎⚔️🏹🌽🪶

[@MrLolo13666]

Il y a bien longtemps que je n'avais pas autant frissonné...

[@jeremytaktouk8764]

J. Hoard is a beast, saw this man in Paris by chance during a jam, I was mind blowing

[@SageOfTruth1111]

Wow! 🙌🏽❤

[@ferdinandodavascio]
