Great Idea Nikhil. Discovered so much good music on NPR tiny desk. Maybe we should also include KEXP and Mahagony sessions and the like to the fantastic channel that NPR is. Here is one example of good music I heard on NPR but their set on KEXP is something..

Hearing this artist for the first time. I'm somehow reminded of Neil Young! Thanks for sharing.

What a great thread! NPR Tiny Desk is my favorite go-to place for music. If I may add to this, two different jazz performances, both of whom also happen to be of Indian origin. Vijay Iyer, and Rudresh Mahanthappa. And both stellar performances, if I may add.

 

[Nikhil]

I really like the variety of artists on Tiny Desk.
Here is another example - fresh new vibe with a hint of jazz.

And these guys almost have a Bollywood / 70s Disco vibe!

Nice peppy music to start the day. Don't forget her shoes though. They look like they will fly her home after the show is over.
