Honoring AANHPI Heritage With Must-Hear NPR Tiny Desk Concerts

With a blend of R&B, soul and mesmerizing vocals, Raveena brings her dreamy sound to the Tiny Desk audience.

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Taimane started playing the ukulele at five years old and has seemingly become one with the instrument. Her technical brilliance, accompanied by a dance from Li'o, makes for a stunning performance.

Sid Sriram delivers a genre-defying set that fuses his Carnatic music upbringing with jazz and R&B.

Just her and her guitar — Mitski lets her raw emotion and poetic lyrics shine.

Olivia Rodrigo performs hits from her sophomore album, “GUTS,” full of her token pop-rock sound. You can also check out her debut NPR Music appearance here in their Tiny Desk (home) concert series.

NIKI’s concert features nostalgic storytelling and delicate vocals that are sure to have you swaying along.

This concert combines three artists’ performances representing the cultural diversity of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. pH-1 brings smooth hip hop vibes, Mndsgn floats with his mix of electronic and soul and Audrey Nuna closes it out with her addictive chorus.
