[@HiroForever]

Every musician seems utterly relaxed, yet, plays with ABSOLUTE surgical precision and function with purity AS A TEAM.

[@woroGaming]

The magic in playing in a band is that you follow the drums/bass, and for the rest you do your own thing. If everybody does that - not thinking about the rest but focus on your own piece - you get a cohesive sound. Slight cues from certain riffs aid in this, but it's trusting each other to do your thing that enables the magic.

[@reinaldoazevedo6846]

People tend to say that nowadays the music is garbage.. Yeah, i know the ''pop'' industry is different these days, but c'mon every decade has bad ''pop'' music too and you know what? That is okay... All the decades (talking about artists of the Ocident, that i know of, specially beautiful brazilian bands) had good music, for me especially the 70's, but man the 2010's are BOMBING with good music and artists, partly because of the gift of internet, it gave a lot of space to independent good artists and musicians to shine, and i think the tendency is just to get better, the new 20's jazz age is coming and we are just in the beggining of a whole new century.. Literally thousands, on every genre, specially genre bending music are reshaping the musical scenario. The human potential for creating beautiful music is so touching, it really is something powerful!

Finally. I've been waiting for this video for YEARS.

[@achrafarf1064]

this is so amazing , that 4/3 poly rythm is actually called "Dekka Lmerrakchia" Greetings from Marrakech, Morocco ❤️

[@MsaybOMayl]

This is african 3/4 polyrithem in general. Drum pattern is Moroccan Chaabi, Dekka Lmerrakchia is actually different from Chaabi. They nailed the naming part : Xavi

[@RadicalChristian777]

@@MsaybOMayl your not going to explain why? 😂👀 I’ve waited 6 months for this!!

[@josepijamas1214]

Can you give examples of songs that use dekka or chaabi?? I would appreciate it a lot!

[@emmanuelmassarotti5535]

Slmlkm khoya. This is a gnawa inspiration tune. Sufi branch in Maroc

[@kaziiqbal7257]

I’m assuming you would say that phrase in a 4/3 polyrhythm

how does snarky puppy make enough money to sustain having 130 members

[@brettbarry2665]

Lol they tour A LOT.

[@crimjqt83]

I always wondered that as well, but I know they rotate every 3 months.

[@zdjsssjux8734]

I wanted to give you a thumbs-up but you're exactly at 130 so there's that

[@langster125]

Most of them have other projects they are a part of or solo work or other bands

[@Bankai2169]

3 Grammys will help a ton

[@adetoye]

I'm just a simple guy. I see Snarky Puppy, I click.

[@kellynkarr]

JT holds it down like no other drummer on earth. He's incredible

[@Joe-zk7ps]

Larnell gets so much (deserved) attention, but JT, Jameson, and Sput are all fantastic too. Not to mention Nate and the other percussionists.

[@rashaandior]

So apparently NPR wanted me to pledge my undying loyalty to them to watch everything they post from now on..... fine you win... they've been on point for a few yrs straight now.

[@ragc9553]

I love how everyone in Snarky Puppy seems to be genuinely enjoying themselves, great music!

[@benegeserit1]

Can’t get enough of Snarky Puppy!

[@DogZy9]

So there is a hope for Hiatus Kaiyote after all? Please NPR, get them in there, they deserve it!

[@jamailamfers7571]

DogZy yesssssss 👏🏻👏🏻

[@NicoAneiva]

There's also hope for Cranky Canine

[@mogglie]
