Gabriel Garzón-Montano: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Bobby Carter | May 26, 2017 - I was, admittedly, thrown for a loop when Gabriel Garzón-Montano told me that he wanted to perform unaccompanied, just him and a piano. The meticulousness of his work is clear on his debut album, Jardin, a three-year creative process in which Gabriel plays most of the instruments, tracking them to two-inch tape, layering its overall sound. Jardin takes its title as an umbrella; fruits, bugs and other plants are the driving metaphors tying together this dense work, which blooms over successive listens. Garzón-Montano doesn't necessarily wear his heart on his sleeve - he forces you to listen and peel the layers back.
Garzón-Montano's career trajectory veers wide - living with Philip Glass for a year while his late mother played in the composer's ensemble, sitting under the minimal maestro's piano as he practiced; Lenny Kravitz making possible his first tour experience; while Drake exposed Gabriel's sound to the masses.
That decision to go it alone at the Tiny Desk made sense, though, the moment he started to play; his talent is left elegantly exposed in this unadorned performance. He says his visit to the Tiny Desk "with just piano and vocal reminds me of what is lost when a song is fully produced and arranged - it was an exciting and vulnerable experience. I was nervous for this one."
Here then, are three songs from Jardin, along with the song that introduced Gabriel to the world... laid bare.
Jardín is available now:

Exactly!
This one is also great though :)
His album Jardìn is absolutely incredible, y'all need to check it out
DatGuyWithDaGlasses man he’s so underrated
and his EP. truly, a legend. 🐐
I'm really appreciating the amount of Hispanic and Latino Artists that y'all have had on here recently. Thanks NPR
i really wanna see more and more of us up in there
He's a black man in the closet!
We all need some VICE short film about how this beautiful artist shifted to "Agüita" in 3 years after Tiny Desk.
2 different persons
YEAHHH
It's crazy. Both of "them" are amazing. The TALENT of this guy is insane
it's called drug addiction
@@camilourrego2606incredibly ignorant and inflammatory comment. Guy has more talent in his pinky nail than your entire life’s work I’m sure. 😂
he actually played the ending of Long Ears I'm in tears
ICREDIBLY UNDERRATED TALENT. Hope he gets as much exposure as possible. Well deserved.
Stumbled upon this guy in the gym today. I was ecstatic. New fan for sure.
6 8 into crawl was crazy for me because those are my fav songs by him
Ken Fabian jungle
Same
Man. I think his time with Glass paid off. How he was able to distill his orchestrations into just the piano and voice while still maintaining the harmonic and rhythmic sense is wild.
Glass?
@@sfynxmunk536 Phillip Glass
He’s my new Prince 💜 True talent!
I love his songs Mango and Fruitflies.
Long Ears. My absolute favorite song by Gabriel! I love this man. So talented.
that transition between the first two songs was perfection
his transitions are so smooth I'm pissedddddhhdd 😭💜
The dude's great. He should do a couple songs with Frank Ocean.
omg this needs to happen
deadasssssss
Hold on you mighta just did somethin
Nah..
This dude makes music that speaks to my soul, and his voice is so unique and soothing. I feel so many emotions when I listen to his music. I love this dude.

Unbelievable completely brilliant , my love for him is long
I have impatiently waiting to see this man live. I need u to come to London Mr Matano
I've been waiting for his return since I heard everything is everything. That song is wild
Wow I just found out about Gabriel a week ago but he’s changed so much in 2 years it’s weird because his appearance changed but u can tell he’s still there it’s beautiful..he’s beautiful
언제나 들어도 너무 좋다.. 벌써 5년이나 지났는데도 나에겐 언제나 favorite songs 야..
Seeing him tonight in Boston, been looking forward to this show for ages. Very nice surprise waking up to find this!!!
I fell in love with him after this performance
It's freaking awesome! Thank you NPR MUSIC for new artist !!! Gabriel goes in my playlist, now!
I didn't know he was gonna switch up Crawl like that! Very pleasant turn out in the second half
FKJ and GGM should pair up!
Saw this guy live on JMSN's tour. Amazing. Completely captured the room

Incredible
Absolut

Yaaasss! Iv'e been wanting this 4EVER!!🎹🎤 🎶 Thanks NPR Music & Gabriel! Lol
This sentence doesn't even make sense
Npr you honestly have the greatest artists of this time on here! I love itt
Why so little views ? He's AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful
Had to come back to listen to this greatness🔥
I've been waiting for this since I heard him on All Songs Considered
Someone give this man an orchestra to perform Trial live
6 8 should be sampled by frank ocean, just imagine.
it’s sampled by drake
@@mariosandoval1236 and I believe her did a cover of jungles with 6 8
@@janellcharm nice
Drakes sampled song tbh is... about as good as it gets
I was wondering what the sample was from H.E.R.’s cover on Drake’s song Jungle and when I heard 6 8 I was immediately a fan.
just saw his COLOR vid! Wow he has worked on himself! I am happy for him! talented and ouf that Color vid killed me
beautiful voice and piano! 💕
Yo jungle is one of my favorite drake songs and I had no clue he sings it. This dude is super talented
te esperamos en Colombia!!!
my legend. 🐐😩✨
I get into my feels listening to his music...thx npr!
Stones Throw Records does it again
Underrated
The transition from 6 8 to crawl just amazes me every time :)
amazing
this needs some more views
I've been waiting for him to be on here!
I love him.
Please invite Elbow to do a Tiny Desk. I would just love to see them in such an intimate space and they are such an incredible band.
Makes me sick that GGM is still criminally underrated.
Why is there even a dislike button?
IKR!
Man you guys crank these out every other day. Alabama Shakes is a Tiny Desk that I (and I'm sure many others) would love to see.
6 8 is life 💗💗💗
Amazing! Would love to see a Jacob Collier session with you guys!
This is awesome, but I'd love to hear him with a drummer and bassist - I find his music, especially the songs off Bishoune shine especially because of the amazing bass in them.
finallyyy ~
Lovely.
40 a genius
In LOVE
I'm weak who is this man???
Gabriel Garzón-Montano. No need to thank me.
he's name is literally on the title tho...
I love the fact that you are a portrait of dostoyevsky
Thanks guys I'm glad we could come together and figure this out.
he just signed with Stones Throw Records.
This is the master 🔥
long ears is that funk
Greatness!
¡BRAVO!
This guy is on his way to greatness! A new Stevie?
Still very underrated.
His music is incredible, check out his albums!!
..but bet y'all didn't know bout his funk band back in the day....
soundcloud.com/mokaad-music/i-dont-know
Juno Arreglado ty for this
whaaaaat? awesome thank you
Thanks! This guy is so talented!
I hadda comment 5 seconds in cuz I just couldn’t take it ! 😩🙌🏾
you guys should bring jorge drexler
Pendejo
YES!
they just did!
He's good.
Drake’s original sample
Get LANY on here!!!!!
if anyone can find a website or video that has a tutorial to play My Balloon on piano in the style of this particular performance I would really appreciate if they could link it
cheers
❤️
😍😍😍
Hey could you guys try and get the Molly Tuttle Band to play???
😍
this is a songwriting lesson
@3:40.....its like hes mashing the board but still keeps the most awkward structure that somehow works
When NPR says, "Here then, are three songs from Jardin, along with the song that introduced Gabriel to the world...", which song is NPR referring to? I listened to him by chance here in Switzerland at the Montreux Jazz Fest and the song that carried him here was Fruit Flies.. Any chance anyone here knows?
Probably "6 8" since it was sampled on Drake's "jungle"
flawless
where is his drummer that he usually has?...i think it would be even better
What’s the piano chords for my ballon in this ballad video
He needs to meet your NPR colleague Matt O'Dowd who does "Spacetime". You'll have trouble taking a balloon to the moon.
what's the tempo on My Balloon I can never figure it out
These days I’m letting god handle all things above me
please please name of microphone
Does anyone know the chords on the piano my balloon
Long Ears is just...what?
🔥
are you still listening in march 2020
This video fascinating
