#tinydeskplaylists • As part of our Black Music Month celebration, we asked the R&B singer GIVĒON (@giveon) to tell us about his favorite Tiny Desk performances. In his list, he included Summer Walker (@summerwalker). "Summer Walker's performance feels like we've been let into her world, you can tell that her lyrics are straight from the heart."⁠ ⁠ Click the link in bio to see his full list! https://www.instagram.com/p/CgjoH2gDmxE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Each of our five Tiny Desk home concerts is by an artist who has helped define Black music as we know it today,' said NPR Music's Bobby Carter, who is producing the month of concerts. The Black History Month celebration will also include a new limited-run video series, 'Black History is Everywhere,' that will feature conversations between pop culture icons and cultural experts. Singer/chef Kelis @kelis will discuss food and gardening in the Black community with the "Gangsta Gardener" Ron Finley @ronfinleyhq, while actress/entrepreneur Taraji P. Henson will talk about #Blackhair, beauty, and entrepreneurship with A'Lelia Bundles @aleliabundles. The February celebration continues with new #TinyDeskplaylists curated by American forager, cook, and internet socialite Alexis Nikole Nelson @blackforager, plus a playlist by the star of last year's Tiny Desk celebration, Kirk Franklin @kirkfranklin. #JazzNightinAmerica will be curating episodes that narratively touch on social justice and empowerment, and musically showcase a wide spectrum including big band, spoken word, and gospel.
