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.
🎉This was SOOOOO much fun! What an honor it was to be able to perform on NPR’s Tiny Desk with this incredible band 🙏❤️ Thanks to everyone at Tiny Desk for making it such a great experience, especially Bob and Felix!!!
The whole band is playing beautifully. Antonio is one of the best drummers in the world, and this concert is a clinic in orchestration, dynamics, and touch. Bravo!
Ditto on the drummer. They didn't settle for bringing just part of the kit into the room because his drumming plays such an important role in the band.
i have watched tons of tiny decks but this is one of my favorites cuz its originality and melody amazing i haven,t heard nothing like this band ever before congratulations to this band and to npr
I loved hearing the background info by Antonio Sanchez re: the songs. Great songwriting and musicianship. 🎼Thana Alexa was giving superb vocals & sound effects. 🎤 Do I hear some Flora Purim and Airto influence @ThanaAlexa ? 🎶
I just found out about this concert! Great performance! Mr. Sanchez is a storyteller, and a wonder on those drums. Bigyuki feels like Robert Glasper + Casey Benjamin rolled into one: beautiful tone on those keys, sometimes spooky, otherwise soft and poignant. Thana's voice is impeccable whether sultry singing or hitting those staccato rhythms in her rap. Mr. Sadler is an extra element of percussion in this performance with that resounding bass. Top notch band with a top notch performance. God Bless!
The gold standard. So nice to see a different format. Thana's vocals clean, really let her character shine through. The band doing back ups! Hot rods....Big Yuki adds so much. Antonio is a freakin' god. Lex makes us want a Moog. Talent and musicianship galore.
Every since I watched this two days ago, I have not been able to stop humming Doyenne. Then I went and listened to the full album and it was AMAZING. Thank you, NPR, for introducing us all to SUCH great music
Check out the original by Thana Alexa, Nicole Zuraitis and Julia Adamy on the album "SONICA"! Antonio actually took our version and created his own with drums and added production! Our original version is just layered vocals, beatbox, electric bass and keyboards!
Yes my dear friends!!!! So proud. Thanks for doing Doyenne by Sonica!!! Antonio crushing the dum duums ❤ And everyone singing there’s a light ❤🥹🥹❤️ amazing.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Super I liked, 👍🏻antonio> 🥁👍🏻 Grandios 🙏🏻 also the other musicians 🔝👍🏻 Last but not least 🎤 Super voice Thana Alexa‼ ️🔝👏🏻👏🏻 🙏 🏻 Thank you for your contribution‼️ Greetings from Frankfurt 🇩🇪
Thana gives me mad young Gloria Estefan vibes in the looks department. I could see that first track in a Bond movie. Such cool fusion of styles, I loved it.
I had no idea what to expect, but this band's jazzy style and lyrics are captivating, and rich with extraordinary musicality. - I've never heard anything like them, and want to know every detail!
This was really incredible. I remember hearing the album on the day it was released and loving everything about it. This performance has inspired me to revisit the album. Hoping for a live Bad Hombre show in Toronto some day !
This is one of my favorite Tiny Desk’s of all time. And there have been so many great ones. I also enjoyed hearing Antonio and Thana in Phoenix, AZ at The Nash about one year ago.🎉
This performance was so magical in every sense. Mastery of dynamics and telling stories that you simply felt as a listener. Thank and Big Yuki absolutely slayed it on mi palabra! Gracias! 👏🙏✊
Tuve la oportunidad de verlos en vivo dos veces hace 5 y 6 años en Puebla, y cada vez fue mágica y diferente, es impresionante como se reinventan y el concepto es muy bueno.

Muy destacada Alexa en todas sus partes, felicidades, un gran logo!!!
Still in love with the concert that Thana and Antonio offered at Lope de Vega Theatre in Seville four years ago. Thanks guys.
Una chulada!
Antonio 🎉drummer for the Metheny group !!! 👍🏻
very difficult to do these Tiny Desk gigs; need a lot of control; especially for acoustic instruments. Well done & thanks for uploading ✌😎👍
Indeed! The sound guys on NPR really do the most to keep it so sonically clean! Definitely a treat for us all
I love this performance from 🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮,but bring Sauti Sol from Kenya will be the best performance for life.
See you at Big Ears!!!

Antonio Sánchez! 🔥🥁
Another amazing Tiny Desk concert. Thank you to these incredibly talented musicians and to Bob Boilen and crew for their insanely good mixing.
Antonio from Metheny?
No from México!!!
This was beautiful, what a fantastic group. I just wish that these adds were placed better, they really interrupt the vibe.
ANTONIO SANCHEZ my hero!🥁
Absolutely Fantastic !!! Antonio & Thana are an amazing musical couple. Lex and BigYuki provide an outstanding compliment as part of Bad Hombre.
OMG, what a great musicians!!!
Poder , beleza e identidad en BAD HOMBRE. ULTRASUPERFELICIDADES .

Antonio Sánchez playing is so tasteful, as always.

Thank you Tiny Desk, I wouldn't have found this without you. So so good.
Era momento de que Antonio Sánchez tuviese su participación en Tiny Desk. Actualmente uno de los 10 bateristas mas completos y talentosos del mundo!
I had no idea what to expect, but this band's jazzy style and lyrics are captivating, and rich with extraordinary musicality. - I've never heard anything like them, and want to know every detail!
Don’t sleep on BigYuki!!
Great voice and great musicians!

Esto es arte! ✨
This is one of my favorite Tiny Desk’s of all time. And there have been so many great ones. I also enjoyed hearing Antonio and Thana in Phoenix, AZ at The Nash about one year ago.🎉
Yess!!!!! I seen Antonio with Pat Metheny and he was killing it, then saw him in concert with The Migration. They were just amazing!!!!
The keyboard solos in the last tune were way trippy, way cool!
A good use of ring modulation!
*Awesome and Excellently executed💥🔥🙌👏.*
I've been watching TD for years, this is probably the concert that wanted the least to end.
So unique and BIGYUKI is wow. I love 13:14 so much 😊last song is just sooo incredible I am shocked and so much fulfilled.😂22:29!!! Sooo smooth OMG
The drum and percussion work was sublime, Marco Minnemann better watch out!
I loved this performance ... and the idea behind the whole album project. Deepest respect for all of the amazing artists. Thank you
2AM and this speaks to my weary soul
Esto es fuego!! 🔥🔥🔥 ¡Qué maravillaaa!!
Wow
What a great job Thana did learning Ana Tijoux lyrics 👏👏👏
Amigo! Venía a comentar lo mismo jajaja
Buenísimo!! De los mejores Tiny Desk!!
Si me sorprende la ejecucion de los intrumentos y voz me cautiva es muy suave que estilo de musical bravo 💙👏
Absolutely incredible!
Los vi en vivo en el Riviera Maya Jazz Festival 2023, estuvieron increíbleees!!!!!! bravo!!!
Badass!! big up to BIG YUKI.

Como siempre, Antonio, su música y banda, marcando el camino.
Increíble y maravilloso concierto.
Beautiful voice and those drums!
This performance was so magical in every sense. Mastery of dynamics and telling stories that you simply felt as a listener. Thank and Big Yuki absolutely slayed it on mi palabra! Gracias! 👏🙏✊
Antonio Sánchez the guy that did the Birdman soundtrack innit
Complicadamente hermoso.
Tuve la oportunidad de verlos en vivo dos veces hace 5 y 6 años en Puebla, y cada vez fue mágica y diferente, es impresionante como se reinventan y el concepto es muy bueno.
Yeeees
Love those creative beats~
Wonder if Thana Alexa ever was featured in Zero 7, because she would be perfect.
Mi palabra ! 😙✌👍
Antonio is such a master! It’s almost like he is playing a different and new instrument…
me encanta, ojalá algún día pueda verlos en vivo.
