It is 90 degrees where I am, and I just got goosebumps all over. So beautiful as to make one's soul feel bare... Thank you for creating and sharing this music!
This group was absolutely amazing during their run on The Sing Off a couple years ago! Glad to see them recognized on something as cool as Tiny Desk :)
Afro Blue, I love you! Pure voices...a band of angel-like voices!! You're both a Howard University and national treasure. Thanks for sharing your beautiful voices with the world! I am now following you on Twitter, too!
Oh sweet lorde.... They are supreme! But :D is it only me,or anybody else. Cuz I see that fem. singer does look like Ice Qube? (whe she has closed eyes) :P :) But still they were wonderfull... And I thank you for that
Yes! Its their annual mostly all black face special negro spiritual edition known as Afro Blue. I goo geld to see if me saying negro spiritual was racist and its not! And besides I love Mahalia Jackson & Shirley Caesar :) and my moms bf in high school was Loretta Earl who was her bully first. Shes a pentecostal preacher, singer that you don't know less you got people in tha deep south holy ghost federation alignment of upc for a better world for upc's organization. JK I dont think its polyphonic spree.
Afro Blue is definitely one of my favorite groups. Following them ever since Sing Off and I'm gonna continue!

Excellent. All three soloist knocked out of the park.
Our ancestors, I imagine, are very, very proud!! Beautiful in every way...Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.:o)

Wauw!!
these arrangements are wonderful!! Does anyone know the arrangers or composers?
Glad to see some African american here on Tiny Desk. For a while I thought that black people were not welcome or not willing.
ishta there's a video of Robert Glasper at Tiny Desk as well. He's an awesome R&B musician
Wow
Is there a recording of them singing the song "Afro Blue"? I think that would be pretty fun, but it's hard to turn up in a google search.
Congratulations of Home Free
