Tiny Desk just reached a new level of weird and wonderful. Last year we had Turnstile stage-diving in the office, and now Amaia: the Spanish icon: just performed her set with a 'chair flute.' Yes, you heard that right, a chlute! She was performing tracks from her album 'Si Abro Los Ojos No Es Real' and it was honestly one of the most mesmerizing things I've seen on the NPR channel.
It’s wild how some artists just find music in the mundane. Some might call it a gimmick, but the way she integrates multi-instrumentalism with such effortless charm makes it high art. Is this the peak of indie performance?
I’m here for the chaotic creativity, honestly. If you aren't watching these Tiny Desks for the sheer 'what-on-earth-is-happening' factor, you're missing out. Between the stage dives and the furniture-turned-woodwinds, NPR is basically the wild west of live sessions now.
Is it music? Is it furniture?
