BEAM: Tiny Desk ( Home) Concert
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music s Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It s the same spirit strippeddown sets, an intimate setting just a different space. June 26, 2020, Abby O Neill The Jamaicaborn, Miamiraised reggae artist BEAM is no stranger to the limelight. His father, Papa San, was a dancehall superstar during the late 1980s and early 90s before becoming a preacher. That combo meant BEAM developed musically and spiritually from an early age. Proudly reppin a Broward County hoodie, the 23yearold singer and his coproducer and keyboardist, Al Cres, brought a new flair to the Tiny Desk (home) concert series with some unorthodox visual effects. BEAM s lighthearted gravitas and charisma shine through from start to finish. MAD GAAL, featured on his 2019 majorlabel debut, 95, is sure to keep living room dancefloors bumping during the pandemic.
