If you knew how often I watch this… I’m a writer and I can never get enough of the lyrical magic Tank and the Bangas provide my inspiration. Thank you, Past Studios. This has been a special treat for me since the click that landed me on it. Appreciating your work in the North. ~Sheeara, Alaska
I love Tank and the Bangas. Who else wants to hear Jelly go for a whole song? I think their pairing is phenomenal. Some things are just meant to happen.
COME ON, VOCALS, LASHES, & LIVE INSTRUMENTATION!!! I love Jelly's ad libs, she makes me smile ❤️ , and that Tank - she's so insanely pretty! The camera loves that face as much as the mic loves that voice of hers and that's the God's honest truth. 💯
I just discovered them last night and I am so irrevocably obsessed. They are bringing me so much poetic inspo, I haven't done spoken word in about a year and they just reminded me why I love it so much. They're music is so unique and I love their energy and friendship and it's beautiful and they are all so beautiful
Saw them last week in PDX - super fun! I love the way they operate in that hybrid zone of rnb, soul, funk, and hip hop- almost every song has elements of all of these. Masterful arranging!
This video gives us a closer look at the dynamics of their improvisation. The restraint and thoughtfulness of the flute-player, and the way the background singer is always one step behind Tank. All of these musicians are just so talented, it´s hard to take in in just one watch.
I discovered them when I was 13 i am now 14 not a big difference but I love the tank and the bangas I can't wait to meet them it's on my bucket list 💗💛
Boxes and Squares this version is so damn chill I love it! They need to record this one and the version from Tiny Desk and just release them as singles.
This is the third version of Boxes and Square I’ve heard and every single time it’s so different and has a completely different vibe and they’re all so perfect wow
Again just such a beautiful set . I especially enjoyed this arrangement of Boxes and Squares . And yeah I too get teary-eyed each time I hear Roller Coasters . I think its a deeply personal song .
She is so pretty. Like when they started "rollercoaster" she had a thought and she got lost in it for a second. So beautiful to see real people doing what we all love. And doing it WELL.
Literally crying while listening. This poetry is so real and so beautiful and has so much genuine humour, it's more than music and I'm so into it. Best youtube discovery this year!
-So, you're gonna play three songs --Yeah . -Just two songs more --Yeah . -Last song now --Yeah . -Well, those were three songs --Yeah *keeps playing* -Well, keep playing if you want --Yeah LOVE YALL TANK AND THE BANGAS!
One of the best performance from a genius band. Jelly is very sexy in this green dress, she is the queen of backing vocal (she deserves her how solo career, but please come back). Tank once again not only sing perfectly but also makes me smile, she able to beam good energy, not only through her voice, but also her gesture and her look. the keyboards players and drummer (sorry I forgot your names) are very talented, their skills adds perfect melody. big love from France, je vous aime !
It funny. Every video with 1K views or more has at least 1 dislike. This has been happening for last 15 years now. But yet there’s always folks bring attention to dislikes asking how or why. Makes me think why comment on something that’s pretty much ubiquitous. Especially considering that what’s most important is the views, not the dislikes.
Never heard of them but I have now search they whole entire portfolio!!!! These queens are speaking truth and satisfying our soul at the same damn time I will be going to the concert in March they just stopped me in my tracks
Each song is completely different, every time. What an amazing display of virtuosity. AND I'm going to see them at Ronnie Scott's at the end of March!!!
God, I love you guys so much. You always surprise me with all variation in your arrangements...so smooth and lovely to listen to. Loved your show at the 🦊 theater in #Oakland, left right after.... didn't need anything more. Waiting for y'all with Big Freeda in Berkeley in November! 🤗
Taking a pause from washing dishes, holding my baby spitting up all over my shirt, don't care. Taking a pause to watch and enjoy this.. SAHM life is REAL But listening to this is a real treat for the moment.

I love you guys! 60 year old New York Puerto Rican!!! Never too old to learn! Thank you for the class!
What a beautiful gift to be able to dissect words and their pronunciation at the same time in time with musical rhythms. Yeah, they from heaven. Done.
I love your words.
A beautiful smile & beautiful explaination of words, sir.
Word.
Ache'LLC
i often think they are literally a personification of heaven. so amazing
I love Tank and the Bangas. Who else wants to hear Jelly go for a whole song? I think their pairing is phenomenal. Some things are just meant to happen.
Congrats on the Grammy nomination!!! WELL DESERVED!

She's GORGEOUS and CONFIDENT

I discovered them last year!...I LIKE THEEEM!💕💕💖😁
Tank is so unbelievably, unfathomably and ridiculously gorgeous!

WELL SAID WELL SAID!
🔥
This proves why I say that Tank and Jelly are TRULY BETTER TOGETHER THAN APART
BUT BOTH ARE AWESOME
Absolutely agree
Dat college song hittin HEAVY BOIII
I love these two beautiful women, their musicology and a creativity that just keeps giving and giving!
i always cry when i hear "Rollercoaster" no matter wich version
Is she not one of the most beautiful people/souls on the planet? I just love to watch her face in motion...to hear that voice... She's adorable.
OMG I thought I was the only one who cries when I hear this song
ditto
you never walk alone
Ecco cosa intendo quando parlo di arte...
Magia pura!
I've got to stop this video and call my husband, in tears. He is my forever roller coaster that never comes down.
Some deep shit
I wish my husband was that kind of roller coaster. Happy for you. 🥰
BEAUTIFUL...💖🔥💖🔥💖

They are absolutely incredible. You never hear the same version of a cut from them twice. I LOVE THEM.
Every time i hear “boxes and squares” it’s different. I live the versatility in the song and the talent you guys have 😍😍

I feel that this set is an amalgam of Bahamadia + Jill Scott + Floetry + Ledisi= FIRE!!!!
Erykah badu
Damn y’all. Love you so much!! Making Louisiana proud. 💜💚💛
I love the r&b/funk/blues version of boxes and squares. Tank and Jelly's voices remind me of songs from the 90s like a mix of Lauryn Hill or Brandy.
SEEN THEM @ THE U.C. THEATER IN BERKELEY CA... WHILE WORKING SECURITY...HARD TO DO MY WORK..AMAZIN SHOW😍
"The best ones come from soundchecks" Yaaaasssssss!!! That is music.
I love their music and their spirit.
Can't get enough of her smile and there energy!!
Unique, expressive, refreshing, comfortable, gospel soulful, warm and smooth like a silk rob, exciting like the first kiss. Emotionally fulfilled.
I love how different every version is. This one of boxes squares was sick
I discovered them when I was 13 i am now 14 not a big difference but I love the tank and the bangas I can't wait to meet them it's on my bucket list 💗💛
The best live band in a long time! Watch out they are about to blow up!!!!
Indeed would love to see them tour with the Roots
Tiny desk brought me here.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Boxes and Squares this version is so damn chill I love it! They need to record this one and the version from Tiny Desk and just release them as singles.
❤
Their music and lyrics move through me like nothing else.
This group is so freaking incredible! Need to see them live ASAP
Its incredible what this band and these two astonishing women can do, with the blessing of Music.
Tank baby girl you make me feel so happy, the resonance of your voice is what I imagine the wind sounds like in heaven.
This is the third version of Boxes and Square I’ve heard and every single time it’s so different and has a completely different vibe and they’re all so perfect wow
Again just such a beautiful set . I especially enjoyed this arrangement of Boxes and Squares . And yeah I too get teary-eyed each time I hear Roller Coasters . I think its a deeply personal song .
How can you not love them! ❤❤
My goodness I love their energy!!!!! I just want to sit in on their sessions. I can listen to them all day. Phenomenal!
Love this version of Boxes, so smooth. What a vibe.
I prefer the tiny desk version🤷🏾♀️
Man Jelly is gorgeous 😍😶
She is so pretty. Like when they started "rollercoaster" she had a thought and she got lost in it for a second. So beautiful to see real people doing what we all love. And doing it WELL.
Tank is beautiful as well
This always changes my mood.
Literally crying while listening. This poetry is so real and so beautiful and has so much genuine humour, it's more than music and I'm so into it. Best youtube discovery this year!
Don't worry. Whoever hit dislike hit it by mistake cause they were so excited, trying to hit the like button. ❤ Beautiful 😍😁
so how am I just now discovering them? I'm in love....
Yessssssssssss
Fans of the Old Kanye would hear those Kanye bars in their first song. I wish we had the old Kanye back....😓😓 Glad we have Tank & the Bangas though.
JELLY IS MY FAVORITE !!! I LOVE HER.
The groove on Boxes and Squares.....GENIUS! Feelin' this tonight! "Do something about it..."
How is this possible? Amazing.
True magic! Explanation not for mere mortals.
Tank, Jelly and the Bangas are so enchanting
she fire..i can watch this over n over
This should have over a million views. Why it doesn't, is a mystery to me.
This girls are pure fire! I like you're style of singing very much. It's so diversely and full of different sounds and different articulation.
"I'm in the minority"
Tank: "How does it feel?"
I can't 😂😂😍😍😍
This was toooo funny. They checked him for real lmao lmao
Made him wanna leave 😂😂
Priceless!
Please provide a time stamp!

Thanks Anya accuracy first
I absolutely LOVE this version of Spaceships!!
This group is soooooooo damn fly- im a new HUGE FAN
I love how she's soo comfortable and they are with her!!! And it flows!!!!
They sound soooo good!
some unseen forces brought these ppl togther surely
They’re soooo cute!!!
Do some people get paid for leaving 'Dislikes'? cos i don't get it, this group is just what music is about .......FUN.
Nah they just negative
maybe it's because of the stupid non-sense-question-asking interruptions of the guy off camera. i did +1 on that vid but i could understand a dislike.

She’s so vulnerable in such a beautiful way, she really does have wings
They got me all the way together tonight. Im ready to face a new day with my SPIRIT FULFILLED!!!
wowza. these renditions are amazing.
i love them so much
First semester in a PhD in a field that doesn't have any field usefulness really makes the first song hit different.
I tried to get some work done while playing this, and got absolutely nothing done. Excellent!!
So many are missing out on this....smh
Never heard of them but I have now search they whole entire portfolio!!!! These queens are speaking truth and satisfying our soul at the same damn time I will be going to the concert in March they just stopped me in my tracks
Each song is completely different, every time. What an amazing display of virtuosity. AND I'm going to see them at Ronnie Scott's at the end of March!!!
JELLY MAD SEXY THIS GROUP LIKE NO OTHER THEY REALLY SHOULD BE MAIN STREAM
God, I love you guys so much. You always surprise me with all variation in your arrangements...so smooth and lovely to listen to. Loved your show at the 🦊 theater in #Oakland, left right after.... didn't need anything more. Waiting for y'all with Big Freeda in Berkeley in November! 🤗
Absolutely lyrically beautiful music and artistically fantastic people.
I definitely felt this way in college
I keep thinking how can they be soo talented? Even the ability to think of the rhymes, their tone, sound. Soooo so good.
Love Tank and the Bangas💖
2020 we still here ❤
The flute on Rollercoasters takes me to another planet
the variety of these love performances is absolutely ASTOUNDING😱❤️
They are awesome!!

A-dor-able....good to learn some things about the group...love them
Passion is all the world needs
