Adekunle Gold: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- This year, NPR Music is celebrating Black Music Month with an array of brand new Tiny Desk concerts - both from home and from behind our beloved Desk. Together, these artists represent the past, present and future of Black music. This month of carefully curated shows is a celebration of Black artists expressing themselves in ways we've never seen before, and of the Tiny Desk’s unique way of showcasing that talent.

Attention passengers: Please make sure your seat belts are fastened and tray tables are stored away as Adekunle Gold is ready for takeoff. The shape of the Nigerian singer-songwriter's Tiny Desk (home) concert mimics a flight pattern sonically and energetically, starting off laid back and ascending to greater heights that'll make you dance and move your feet.
AG's career first picked up steam after the release of his debut single "Sade," a highlife cover of One Direction's "Story of My Life," in 2014; then, he released his debut album Gold in 2016. Three albums later, the Yoruba sensation's sound has evolved from highlife to Afropop.
AG filmed his (home) concert with his band in Los Angeles, inside a retro, faux airport terminal - home of AG Baby Airlines. Opening with "Sinner," a modern take on the Biblical story of King David and Bathsheba, the band's arrangement translates seamlessly live, with AG's smooth vocals complimented by violin and driven by steady, rhythmic drums.
Closing his set with the uptempo and jaunty "Okay," a reliable banger from his record Afro Pop, Vol. 1, AG explains: "It's such an energy giver - the people turn up, and we are about to turn up now." Embarking on his first North American Tour Catch Me If You Can, which has its first stop today in Boston - as noted on the AG Baby Airlines signage - "turn up" is precisely the correct term as AG Baby is letting you know that he may be bringing his signature soulful Afropop to a city near you.

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.
Thank you so much Tiny Desk. All my love.❤️
Great concert! Where are you playing in the US? (Houston)
🙏🏽♥️

I'm like a proud dad. Hitting the podium shouting, "SEE SEE! FINALLY!" 😭🇺🇬
Sounded more hispanic lol
Its not growing, its always been big.
We deserve this and more
This man’s rebrand from a folksy, Yoruba aesthetic to smooth r&b gets me every time 🔥🔥
Not folksy lol he went from West African Ghana highlife style singing in Yoruba to afrobeats, all dope.
@@madjoabutterfly are you Ghanaian?
@@madjoabutterfly ghanians are never short of being silly
@@BlessedAdams-yo2wwSilly. Very silly statement Adams.
Nigeria to the World!!!!🇳🇬🇳🇬🔥
🙏🏾

You have a new subscriber. Playing the violin as a child opened my eyes up to all music. Much respect to you.@TheLuluV
I love the way AG just enjoys his own music 🎶
Closing his eyes wen singing is touching
Special talent
Yesss I love him!! and the greatest part he's that he's married to Simi who is an incredible artist too!! Bring her next ! Nigeria you have my heart forever
Wow I didn't know they're married
That's beautiful
Is that true!!! That's such a sweet fact I enjoy both their music so much!
The violinist solo from 2:35 - 3:03 was a 🔥 moment, the band were 🥶 & AG baby brought the lamba!
Thank you 🖤🎻🙏🏼
Felt that🔥 Uhhh
For realll
Lulu...you're such an amazing talent
That violin spoke to my soulllll
Props to the extras in the background for staying professional. I would have broke character for sure! My hips are hard wired to sway when in the midst of vibes.
Was literally laughing at myself for this because I was trying to watch and consume the performance and still ended up singing and dancing along!!! Lol
Literally within the first few seconds! Hips have a mind of their own💃🏾
Appreciation post to Tiny Desk! You guy's are connecting the world through music and it's beautiful🎶 🎵 ❤️
When I am alone, God is my comforter When I am nothing, God is my everything. When I am sad and lonely, God is my song and my joy. When I am weak and helpless, God is my strength. Amen.💕
I didn't know who this guy was and now I am a huge fan. This was mad fun to listen to and watch
He's featured on one of NAO'S songs. Love her too.🥰
Antedote
He's Adekunle Gold @adekunlegold you can check him out
@@barrakatadebunmi Don't worry, I immediately did check his other works after watching this ;-)
I just came back from his concert and it was incredible
This band is 🔥!!! That bass guy been throwing mad bass lines with a very unorthodox right hand position. I love it !
😂😂 now that you mention it, I see it.
His thumb muting technique was chef’s kiss. Glad you’ve pointed it out. 💯
The palm muting is perfect for the ambience of that space. The drummer is doing the same thing.
The violinist and how much Adekunle is enjoying himself! What a masterpiece ❤️
This is so good! AG Baby can singggggggg! That violinist has my heart. Shout out to the band, they brought life to his singing.
My man from Nigeria keeping that rythmic RB alive,all cunning artisan's at the top of thier game,we in the US miss this groove.
As a Black Man from the states I say Thankyou !
Not gonna lie, I skipped this auto play a couple of time. Now I kick myself for being so ignorant of such good music. Everything about this performance was fantastic. I am a fan. I need to trust NPR more.
I have also skipped it a couple of times but looks at us...here now...who could have thought? 😅
Tiny desk is a treasure. How nice to wake up and find this. Just beautiful.
From Orente to Tiny Desk, AG to the world 🌎 🔥
Orente and Ready are my jams!!!!
From Sade actually
I wish he performed that!!!
Super proud of him ❤
I wish I could like this one more than once. Thank you Tiny desk!
One of the best Afro-beats artists. Authentic high-life sound.
I don’t what’s more beautiful 😩 him or his voice 💕
Vibes on vibes! And shoutout to bro reading the newspaper on the side too. That's how I'll be playing AG to my kids whilst they're telling me they love it
Spotted dude like that's me with my book right now 🤣😂🤣
That guy just dey like say he dey on headset😂😂
If he had backup singers on this with some bomb harmonies I think my soul would have left my body 😩😩😩
His outfit was on point.
He shut down the Apollo in New York! 🔥🔥 AG Baby litttt🔥
Adekunle Gold is a whole morning vibe!!! Tiny desk magic is real!
Such a stunning performance. And the 70s Lagos airport vibes. 10/10 AG Baby 🇳🇬🤍🤞🏾
The lady with the violin in the first performance killed it. I loved it!
Been saying this for years Adekunle is wining Grammy next. This man is a lyrical genius
AG baby Gbemidebe!!!! Vocals 😘 Performance 😍 Song choice 🤩 everything is 10/10.
4 years of pitching and a beautiful thing was done here!💫✨
My favorite Nigerian artist. Enjoyed every minute. Thank you Adekunle Gold and Tiny Desk! Good luck with your tour. God Bless...
Hope you wouldn't drop this same comment on Davido, wizkid or some other Nigeria big musical artist stage performance, cos the word favourite, means just (1)...ONE.
It's the way he interacted with his musicians for me. Great stuff!💯
Adekunle you have a beautiful voice.
Loving the atmospheric VIBES. The setup is so DOPE!
The violinist really love her job waoh she plays with such enthusiasm
I've been a huge fan of AG Baby since 'Orente' days then his phenomenal transformation occurred! I'm so proud of this young man right here, and I have never been disappointed at his delivery and dexterity musically to this day. AG is specially gifted and good at what he does. Keep up the good work dear, we are proud of you. Nigeria to the world!!🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬❤❤❤❤
With all due respect, this is in the top tier of NPR Tiny Desk Performances! Wow. New Fan.

Wow, what a delivery 👌🏽🔥
The lady at the reception desk just chilling throughout
This is pristine music… very soothing. Cigar and whiskey vibes.
Always Gold from Adekunle ✌🏾
Appreciation message to Adekunle and Tiny Desk, watching this all the way from SA... Love you AG Baby❤️
The smile on my face when this video popped up☺
He is all in my Spotify playlist! Love his music! I was introduced to this artist when I heard his music at an African wedding.
Adekunle “ worth your weight in” Gold!
I would have gone mad had you not sang One Woman 😩 Thank you AG 🔥
This is class and musical excellence at it's best. And from an African king . Couldn't be more pleased with this.
This has to be my absolute favorite tiny desk concert and one of the very best! Forever stan AG baby!
Burna Boy's, have you watched that?
Same here.. it’s beautiful music
Bravo! Such sweet sounds. Drummer is 🔥….

I told people 10 years ago African music would take over...Ya'll see it...Ayeee Momma Africa again blessing the world
This is pure magic😋😍😍
Adekunle is gooooood😍😍
Great to see African music doing well all over the world.
The steady and consistent growth in Adekunle Gold's music is just beautiful to watch. Once again AG baby started and finished work🙌🏽💯 thank you Tiny Desk.
I'm in love with the violinist. Well done Adekunle Gold and the band.
AG is such a vibe 😎🔥
That lady on the Violin needs a raise asap!!!
The intro to the first song is beautiful with the violin. Couldn’t help but notice it’s the same progression like burna burna boy’s ’YE’
Lie oh 😏 that last progression follows dat of wizkid Ojuelegba
@@user-lb3sy1el1p the intro. The chord progression is (M S T L) same as ye. Ojuelegba has a different pattern progression and different beat .
@@janetb6413 the instrumentalists on this performance decided to add that Ye- esque progression. It isn’t so in the original
Everything is so smooth with Adekunle Gold. Love his vibe and his discography 🔥👌🏿
I enjoyed this one effortlessly ❣️
Tiny desk playing with the notifications! How did I miss this?! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
