He's so patient with his words and so tender, he shows that you don't need to be screaming and flashy to get a story across. Love this man and his art.
I was introduced to Jose Gonzalez from his song at the end of Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I am so glad I learned who he was. His music brings such a calm to my spirit.
One of my favorite things about him that I'm only gleaning from these live performances is how he seems to radiate humility. A trait I truly do hope to register into my own spirit on a daily basis. Music like this helps to cultivate it...
This's perfect for a calm & serene morning Every age has its turn Every branch of the tree has to learn Learn to grow, find its way, Make the best of this short-lived stay
probably one of the most influential musicians during my 20s. Saw him live and talked to him once. I love his fingerpicking style and sweet voice and odd lyrics!
Loved this man and his music for many years, he’s the one I introduce to others as one of my favourite musicians. He’s so humble. Greetings to all listening, from Devon
Audio engineer: Kevin Wait! As soon as that whistling started, I had to open comments to see if everyone was talking about the magnificence of the engineering work. I'd be impressed if this was recorded in a studio, but an office?!?! Unbelievable.
Heading out to see him in a few minutes at the Belly-up in Solana Beach, California....the day before my birthday, and what a great birthday present to myself. GOD, I love the way this guy sings....so honest, so unpretentious...like he's having a quiet, friendly conversation with you. So glad I got turned on to his music.
So many musicians of this genre are so repetitive. I feel like Jose is one of the few artists who embodies a truly unique edge. Wish more indie/folk musicians were like him. Does anybody have recommendations for similar artists?
I love his music so much! I found him through a studio concert uploaded by KEXP. Thanks to NPR. This makes me proud to say I support my local NPR station.
I feel he has also inserted a bit of Latin American Nuevo canto or what might be called protest music of the 60's-70's from Latin America. Silvio Rodriguez, Pablo Milanes and also a bit of Southern Cone. Victor Jara. There is a guy named Manuel Garcia from Chile. His look reminds me of him.
If I could like this infinity I would. This man is one of the greatest musicians of our generation. Truly a remarkable song writer. His music has helped me through a lot of hard times. Thank you Mr Gonzales and band. For making such beautiful music .
I know of Jose because I fell in love with his song on the Red Dead Redemption Soundtrack (So Far Away), and I feel stupid that it took me this long to further explore and appreciate his work.
Increíble!! Vivo en Marruecos y me casé con la mujer más hermosa de acá y le dediqué San Lucas. Ahora la cantamos juntos emocionados de verlos en tinydesk. Felicidades hermanos.
***** Take it easy boy, i never mean to be rude is just a way to talk, but in the first time you said he changes the tuning twice not one and that tells me that you do not have a good ear and less good view, sorry but does not change one string, changes a few more but you just have to listen ..
@@cranberriesgirlhype8292 I did :) Or to be correct: I'm almost done.. The only part I need to practice is the bridge in between "Witness to the changing tides" and "Idle as a wave"
This is good, very good in fact, but Kings of convenience come much closer to reaching the bar set by Simon and Garfunkel. However both still fall short of the sheer genius of Simon and Garfunkel
nick arndt hearbeats was great, but his sound is so different now. I appreciate his new style. I don't think he could play it with as much soul as he once did.
He's good. I'm really enjoying playing his music. He says silvio rodriguez is his favorite influences which I also enjoy very much but I really can't make the connecting. I hear a lot of cat stevens/folk dylan/csny. I like the mellow travis picking and alternate tunings as well...all the open chords give a nice fullness.
Es curioso que para conocer a este chico, posiblemente de ascendencia española, tenga que encontrarlo en NPR; José Gonzalez ha sido mi agradable descubrimiento de hoy...
for sure james taylor 60s and 70s acoustic stylee coming back! alot of those older artists came out on acoustic>csn etc I missed Joses last Headline tour , then caught Junips 1st. I then saw Jose on the next tour! wowow!! major talent
He's from my lovely town of Gothenburg in Sweden, and I have the pleasure of bumping into him occasionally. He is amazing
Been wanting to visit there for a long time!!
First time I heard him was with a swedish band called "Niccokick". This was ike 10 years ago... Crazy!
💛💕
lucky you :)
I thought he was from Latin America???colombia?
He's so patient with his words and so tender, he shows that you don't need to be screaming and flashy to get a story across. Love this man and his art.
You obviously don't know Bill Callahan yet then? x
“Beautiful things don’t ask for attention” ;)
It's easy when you have an attentive audience. It's a lot harder when you're talking to people in general who tend to interrupt and not pay attention.
his voice is like a reminder that there is still something good in this world.
Who’s here in 2024 🎉
Hi🎉
Here now needing inspiration
Me!
Absolutely!!
❤
Do you guys realize how incredibly amazing the song With the Ink of a Ghost is? It's a friggin masterpiece 😭 it makes me feel every emotion ever.
It sure is amazing!
@@geekdesprairies yesss
Yes.
His voice is like a soothing drive down a country road...brisk fall air...and slowly falling leaves.
idk why but this brought tears to my eyes
I was introduced to Jose Gonzalez from his song at the end of Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I am so glad I learned who he was. His music brings such a calm to my spirit.
after hearing this i feel like sailing around the tip of Patagonia and hiking a mountain, watching the sunset over a fire and finding peace in nature.
Ohhh my patagonia 🍄
I really, really love this. It's like Paul Simon and Wes Anderson started a band.
COMMENT OF THE YEAR =)
I love both of them but i dont really get it.. care to explain..? James Wallace
Bayu Wikranta it’s a way of saying it’s like indie folk
His music is soothing, perfectly made reminding us to always slow down, appreciate and live each moment we have on earth. I love you, Jose!
One of my favorite things about him that I'm only gleaning from these live performances is how he seems to radiate humility. A trait I truly do hope to register into my own spirit on a daily basis.
Music like this helps to cultivate it...
Was lucky enough to see José and Sia performing together with Zero 7 in 2006 on their tour for The Garden album. That was pretty amazing.
This's perfect for a calm & serene morning
Every age has its turn
Every branch of the tree has to learn
Learn to grow, find its way,
Make the best of this short-lived stay
probably one of the most influential musicians during my 20s. Saw him live and talked to him once. I love his fingerpicking style and sweet voice and odd lyrics!
what an artist. his accompanying musicians can't help but feel the emotion in his songs.
‘Every age’ is such a powerful song. So true. Brilliant.
Loved this man and his music for many years, he’s the one I introduce to others as one of my favourite musicians. He’s so humble. Greetings to all listening, from Devon
Great!!
But please (!) start to write out the names of the participating musicians in the specification. They truly deserve it!!!
Agreed :)
FWIW he introduces them at 8:20. I'd type them out here but don't feel confident spelling the names.
@@sheabreauxwells7059 Bandmembers: James Mathe, Joel Wästberg, Jakob Albinsson and Andres Renteria.

Can you explain why this is awesome? I have no knowledge in sound engineering haha
Bandmembers: James Mathe, Joel Wästberg, Jakob Albinsson and Andres Renteria.
Thank you!
Thanks bud !
There's something about woodwinds in Jose Gonzalez accompaniments that just destroy me. Always so haunting. He's the greatest.
It’s awesome whenever he implements percussion in his songs too! That moment for me was in What Will 👏🏾
Thank you NPR Music for making me discover new artists and re-discover my favourite ones.
Wow I was entranced from the first moment. Thank you NPR for introducing me to yet another great artist.
Gitai Vinshtok Yea he's awesome. If you like his stuff, check out his other band "Junip". You will not be disappointed :D
Amazing when you discover something so new and refreshing
If you like him DEFINITELY listen to heartbeats and crosses. His two beat songs by far.
nick arndt Open Book and New Age are also perfect.
nick arndt heartbeats isnt even a song of him
Wonderful songwriter, performer of our time. Love Jose Gonzalez and his band, Junip.
Heading out to see him in a few minutes at the Belly-up in Solana Beach, California....the day before my birthday, and what a great birthday present to myself. GOD, I love the way this guy sings....so honest, so unpretentious...like he's having a quiet, friendly conversation with you. So glad I got turned on to his music.
So well put!
+Olias Lives I hear you, I saw him in Utrecht in December. He was amazing plus I stayed in Amsterdam and its kinda hard not to have fun there! :)
so good. I picture them riding away slowly....still singing softly while pedaling a hand carved bicycle built for two.
Whistling is so underrated.
as a child in the early 1970s, Jose Gonzalez is the folk music in my dreams of that time.
I love Jose Gonzalez so much! Great music. The new album is amazing too. Love the lyrics
Truly beautiful, yet unassuming. Like tiptoeing in the darkness without waking up the heavy sleepers.
Jose really knows how to make magic with his own unique sound and tiny desk does itself proud xxxxx
Never heard of Nick Drake?
I cloooose my eeeeyes
only for a moment
and the moment's gone
hahaha exactly what i was thinking... "hello darkness my old friend"
I was thinking the samee wwwhat :D
right
So magical ✨ staring at the stars to Jose’s music, My feet have left the ground 🧚 ✨🌙
love him, I get the same feeling listing to his music to the feeling I get with Silvio Rodríguez.
What a talent, so adorable. Thanks, NPR, for all the desk concerts. Thanks for having José over.
This man created my passion for playing guitar and creating music that has a story and a meaning behind it. :)
What an wonderful artist! It really touches you deeply where it really manter...
So many musicians of this genre are so repetitive. I feel like Jose is one of the few artists who embodies a truly unique edge. Wish more indie/folk musicians were like him.
Does anybody have recommendations for similar artists?
+Tipsylou Especially with the harmony in this video I think he reminds me a lot of Simon and Garfunkel.

thanks everyone, so much new music
I love his music so much! I found him through a studio concert uploaded by KEXP. Thanks to NPR. This makes me proud to say I support my local NPR station.
I found him through Pandora, when Pandora was a thing, then he went off my radar. There's a new documentary about him - Tiger in Paradise.
this version of "with the ink of a ghost" it's wonderful!
this is so beautiful, It feels like i'm not even in the same world anymore.
amazing control of his voice and guitar style.. such command
Guy in the beanie needs a hug. I need a hug. I'm coming my sad sad mustachioso.
Philip Glass + Bob Dylan + Simon & Garfunkel = José Gonzalez ❤❤❤❤
Omg exactly! My HS band had a Phillip Glass show for competition one year and we made it to state with that show. Great musical score.
I feel he has also inserted a bit of Latin American Nuevo canto or what might be called protest music of the 60's-70's from Latin America. Silvio Rodriguez, Pablo Milanes and also a bit of Southern Cone. Victor Jara. There is a guy named Manuel Garcia from Chile. His look reminds me of him.
so so glad I found this today and loving him as a new fan, sooo happy to have discovered this! WOW is an understatement. So peaceful.
i like how his personality and demeanor match his sound.
Those harmonies are just so beautiful.
One of my favorite artist to listen to.
If I could like this infinity I would. This man is one of the greatest musicians of our generation. Truly a remarkable song writer. His music has helped me through a lot of hard times. Thank you Mr Gonzales and band. For making such beautiful music .
how did i just discover him! he is such an amazing songwriter, his songs are amazing and i have no words i
Que bello Jose...escucharte me recuerda que pertenezco al universo! Gracias!!
Man these sound even better than the album versions! The arrengement in with the ink of a ghost is perfect
I know of Jose because I fell in love with his song on the Red Dead Redemption Soundtrack (So Far Away), and I feel stupid that it took me this long to further explore and appreciate his work.

dreamy in every possible way
Wooo! Jose is the BEST! One of the greats
....and harmonies guys rockin it
Thank you jose, for bringing warm feelings to my heart !
I absolutely adore him 💙
simplicity reaching perfection
My favourite musician and singer
beautiful music as always from this talented artist. absolutely loving the layered male harmonies in these
Truly amazing how fast change the tuning of his guitar.
***** you forgot 2:40, and you have to be deaf and blind to said that he only is tuning one string,
*****
Take it easy boy, i never mean to be rude is just a way to talk, but in the first time you said he changes the tuning twice not one and that tells me that you do not have a good ear and less good view, sorry but does not change one string, changes a few more but you just have to listen ..
Brilliant! The Set is Awesome! Every Age is a Masterpiece! Beautiful Work!
Beautiful music from the earth. Thank you for the wonderful performance
I have waited so very long to see this one!! Dream come true!
seeing his beautiful soul in a month
Gracias a "NPR Music" por este regalo. Uno más
I wish I could like this a million times.
Phenomenal ~ so grateful for this music
I've been working out "With the Ink of a Ghost" on guitar for the past week and it ain't easy! Beautiful guitar player
Did you ever learn it all the way through?
@@cranberriesgirlhype8292 I did :) Or to be correct: I'm almost done.. The only part I need to practice is the bridge in between "Witness to the changing tides" and "Idle as a wave"
@@leokainzi8041 oh my goodness I would love to hear!
Love love love!!!!!!!!!!
The best male folk harmonies since Simon and Garfunkel, maybe. Really nice ..
This is good, very good in fact, but Kings of convenience come much closer to reaching the bar set by Simon and Garfunkel. However both still fall short of the sheer genius of Simon and Garfunkel
such a huge fan of josé gonzález !!
What are your 3 favorite songs?
THERE'S A BUNCH, but crosses, abram,& hints
Good picks. no heartbeats?
ehhh it's alright
nick arndt hearbeats was great, but his sound is so different now. I appreciate his new style. I don't think he could play it with as much soul as he once did.
Ooooooooooh those vocal harmonies ♥
One of the best live musicians in terms of how good he sounds
they are all so sweet!
'Every Age' is amazing song and message !!!
José González is one of the greats :)
chills at the transition at 5:30 every time.
Just beautiful.
He's good. I'm really enjoying playing his music. He says silvio rodriguez is his favorite influences which I also enjoy very much but I really can't make the connecting. I hear a lot of cat stevens/folk dylan/csny. I like the mellow travis picking and alternate tunings as well...all the open chords give a nice fullness.
+Jonathan Moynihan I've always assumed he was really influenced by Nick Drake
Listening to him, i thought in a Silvio Rodríguez reference, without knowing Jose talked about it.
A Wonderful poet with an Orchestra of sound and gently sweet
i had the song crosses by jose gonazlez and then i decided to look into more of his music and it is honestly an amazing journey
Nice! At first, like Simon and Garfunkle, then, early Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young! Smooth melodic entrancing
I saw him in Malmö last year. He had a concert with bon Iver! (imagine). The best consert i've ever been to
Don't get complacent Jose. Your music is beautiful!! Keep being you!
Es curioso que para conocer a este chico, posiblemente de ascendencia española, tenga que encontrarlo en NPR; José Gonzalez ha sido mi agradable descubrimiento de hoy...
Eugenio Monton El es sueco y sus padres eran argentinos. Excelente cantante!!!
argentinoooo
Su cara es muy de argentino..
Simply Beautiful
Music has no borders!
5:42 -- chills every time.
I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment's gone...
i can't believe how beautiful this is
great version 8.40 min!!! listened so often. its so healing!!!
So lovely.
I really, really love your music Jose!
Really beautiful, thank you. Backing vocals guy is the MVP.
I love it all.
for sure james taylor 60s and 70s acoustic stylee coming back! alot of those older artists came out on acoustic>csn etc
I missed Joses last Headline tour , then caught Junips 1st. I then saw Jose on the next tour! wowow!! major talent
Absolutely lovely!
Oh he is so good! Watch it if you have a few minutes to spare (it's definitely worth it)!
