Watched this video so many times and loved it, never having read the description. Today, I read it and wow, what a genuinely incredible story. Always wondered why this performance felt so uplifting and now I understand
sendingmaniac I’m curious to know if it still is your favourite Tiny Desk performance, or have you seen another one that you like better since you wrote this two years ago? 🙂
She's adorable. So powerful: her joy make your heart feel light and nostalgic at the same time. Thank you guys for the show, is amazing to discover jewels like Monika through it.
What a winning, magical woman! She's the kind of performer you take to your heart--and never let go! I think the fact that she saved her own life is the reason for her exuberant performances. Adorable!
@@matt1240 is a movie director from Spain, their movies are influenced by the movida madrileña a movement of art in the latest 70 and all the 80 in Spain. The movies are great but lately in their last 4/6 movies are not just good enough. Pd you can search for McNamara and almodovar and you can get some vanish idea of their movies, but if you want to see I suggest todo sobre mi madre, la mala education, tacones lejanos, mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios y hable cn ella.
I've gotten 1 minute and 30 seconds into this video, and all I can think is WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE! What a wonderful presence, AND why have I never heard of her?!?! I almost feel ashamed!
Well you probably haven't heard off her because it's really difficult sadly for artists in none english speaking countries (especially US and UK) to be visible on a larger scale and actually get discovered. Monika has been making music since 2007-8 in Greece and although its nice to see that she has had her success outside the country it always sucks when you see talents like her not utilized properly just because they weren't born in a certain place.
Yes I Do Monika Christodoulou 27 of December is arrived and I think it's Saturday Greece is turning into white and it is cold We don't really care I keep thinking of the way that we were met Feels like it's a fairy tale You're the princess the most beautiful I've seen I am just a prince I can make you play I can make you smile I can make you safe in my foolish arms You're my sweetest kiss You're my immortality You're my pretty world world Spins inside my little mind little mind Now we're kissing and we're saying to each other Just a little I do But the thing is what we really want to say It cannot be said And I promise I will never let that death Take you from me anyway I'll throw us stars stars stars To wish well never die You're my brightest sun You're my crystal sea You're my loudest rhythm Beats inside my heart I will make you laugh I will make you fly to the shinny skies Where well live in happiness.
Secret in the dark : "...I can see it in your eyes, hear the breaking in your voice If I try to find the keys of what I missing, Would I give my life away to everyone?"
SHES MAGIC! I"M CRACKING UP! TOTALLY BRIGHTENED MY DAY! ...so now that I took a moment to read (above) I can add this...her freedom is infectious! THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE!
Τι να πεις γι αυτή την ταλαντούχα καλλιτέχνιδα.....Ότι και να πεις λίγο θα είναι ! Μπράβο σου,πάντα ψηλά όπως σου αξίζει άλλωστε ! Σε θαυμάζω πάρα πολύ !👌🎤🎹👍👍👍👍👍
There is my Greek girl!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU MONIKA!!!! I follow you forever, whatever you do, whatever music you make, to wherever you travel to share your music and your shiny greek energy!!!!!!!!!!
It's funny. If you go watch the Sharon Jones performance, it's the same bongo player back there with the same just-so-pleased-to-be-here look on her face.
I understood. I read somewhere that she was connected with the Dap Kings. I has always meant to check out Sharon Jones, so I went ahead and watched that Tiny Desk. I guess there's just something about that bongo players face that grabbed my attention. She looks so happy,
She seems like she'd be a super fun friend that would keep you laughing and smiling! What a happy, lovely goofball! "Come on baby shake your hands and spread it all alover, What is "alover"? Um, cool. What a sweet thing.
Why is she not a bigger deal. This is great!
gosh her presence is MAGICAL She really fills that entire room with her great vibes!!
make sure you read the video description.
contactkeithstack thanks for the tip :)
What do I do next?
Wow her story is incredible
Why?
Watched this video so many times and loved it, never having read the description.
Today, I read it and wow, what a genuinely incredible story. Always wondered why this performance felt so uplifting and now I understand
Wow, love her energy, very theatrical and almost kitschy but in a really good way!
that girl got some good energy! bless.
A tight funky band, and a dynamic fearless singer. What's not to love?
Thanks for another great Tiny Desk Concert!
Just a fact. Except for the awesome voice ,exceptional songwriting and presence she is a mathematician too.
Απίστευτο
She gives me the vibe of a really good...cool 1st grade teacher.
Nothing wrong with that, though! ;)
I agree, I defo felt a bit old for this!
yea I thought Music teacher immediately.
There's something I really don't like about her vibe. Maybe it's the teacher thing. Idk, I can't watch this, it's giving me goose bumps.
Υes
It's my favourite NPR Tiny Desk concert of all time! There have been a lot of great shows. But this one just stole my heart.

Sink Venice this is wonderful, but mother falcon still has them best tbh.
Generally are you voting?

She's lovely!
the first tune is so Almodovar! she has such vivid eyes! i'm in love.
yes! i was thinking that as well!
what does almodovar mean? Google doesnt recognize it as a word, and when I look it up I just get some spanish film director or something,
this is such an accurate comment
Mm mm from what movie exactly?

I do not believe I just found monika now in 2021. I love her vibe, her voice, she is amazing.
I come to TH-cam for Npr music... nothing else !!!
Rhythm section on point
One of the best TDC
Reminds me a little bit of David Byrne - very inventive - good stuff!
my thoughts exactly!
I thought of Byrne as well ::))
I so wish to be one of the people in the audience that she points at.
great performance,very charming singer.u r lovely Monika...
She brings sun in ! :D
Wow she demands your attention like nothing else. This is great!
Brilliant!
simply beautiful, conquering, free and true!
I love the drumming woman with the black hair; I love how she's always in the back smiling at the singer's antics.
Ναι ρε Μόνικα!!!!!!
I like this now. And you can tell she's having fun and she appreciates the audience.
Some people can spread light
Beautiful clear voice
Yes I Do
Monika Christodoulou
27 of December is arrived and I think it's Saturday
Greece is turning into white and it is cold
We don't really care
I keep thinking of the way that we were met
Feels like it's a fairy tale
You're the princess the most beautiful I've seen
I am just a prince
I can make you play
I can make you smile
I can make you safe in my foolish arms
You're my sweetest kiss
You're my immortality
You're my pretty world world
Spins inside my little mind little mind
Now we're kissing and we're saying to each other
Just a little I do
But the thing is what we really want to say
It cannot be said
And I promise I will never let that death
Take you from me anyway
I'll throw us stars stars stars
To wish well never die
You're my brightest sun
You're my crystal sea
You're my loudest rhythm
Beats inside my heart
I will make you laugh
I will make you fly to the shinny skies
Where well live in happiness.
She is captivating!
Wonderful and joyous. Unbridled.
She’s fearless...and has some
amazing stage presence....captivating!
Wonderful fun funky vibes. Great band feel.
estupenda presentación de Mónika 100% música acústica felicidades

Τι να πεις γι αυτή την ταλαντούχα καλλιτέχνιδα.....Ότι και να πεις λίγο θα είναι !
Μπράβο σου,πάντα ψηλά όπως σου αξίζει άλλωστε !
Σε θαυμάζω πάρα πολύ !👌🎤🎹👍👍👍👍👍
Fiquei impressionado com a vitalidade e energia da Monika, que harmonia esplêndida de todo o conjunto. Parabéns!
Totally captivated.
the pianist is gorgeous .
Amazing voice, the first song was good, but perhaps think about the other material.
There is my Greek girl!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU MONIKA!!!! I follow you forever, whatever you do, whatever music you make, to wherever you travel to share your music and your shiny greek energy!!!!!!!!!!
this is great, and I didn't know how great John Turturro was at drums until now.
Super great attitude!
Great torcher to my mother
shes awesome
Thanx NPR!!
so good !! thanks.
beautiful voice
I'm in love
It's funny. If you go watch the Sharon Jones performance, it's the same bongo player back there with the same just-so-pleased-to-be-here look on her face.
How in the world did you figure that out?
This is a compliment/shock as your perception/memory. Not a troll attack. (Didn't want the tone misunderstood.)
I understood. I read somewhere that she was connected with the Dap Kings. I has always meant to check out Sharon Jones, so I went ahead and watched that Tiny Desk. I guess there's just something about that bongo players face that grabbed my attention. She looks so happy,
that please look is basic saying.. paid.....................
the keyboardist is the same as the new Maggie Rogers Tiny Desk too!
I really enjoy her act. she is gorgeous!
She seems like she'd be a super fun friend that would keep you laughing and smiling! What a happy, lovely goofball! "Come on baby shake your hands and
spread it all alover, What is "alover"? Um, cool. What a sweet thing.
So talented! I love the album Secret In The Dark and revisited all the time.
This brought me so much joy
I can't believe what she went through. Looks like she's making the most of life and loving every moment.
This was so great! I love her energy
wow gems like these are really what make Tiny Desk so amazingly fun to check out!! It's so light and fun and sweet.
shes a doll
Unsurprisingly another incredibly awesome Tiny Desk Concert..
The band has such a high energy, so smooth and lovely!
It sounds like I've heard these songs before but my memory can not recall.
Marvelous!
I'm in love with your voice and your performance. Wonderful!!
I love her!
Captivating
I love the way she tells a story through the music, and all the energy in the concert! I want more! :)
So good!!
i love her omg
una mujer que canta bien y no se pinta los ojos!! ..................................paz y bien
oop accidentally fell in love :')
amazing
She gets it going like David Byrne used to with Talking Heads - great stuff!
Dude I'm glad I wasn't the only one getting Byrne vibes!!!
Used too? I saw him 3 years-ish ago. He definitely still gets it going.
Amazing energy! Such an amazing girl!
I keep coming back to this, and I keep smiling
I fell in love
NPR Tiny Desk Concerts are just wonderful and inspiring.
Rockstarrrrrr
Holy crap! I totally met that keyboard player back in January when he was on tour in Glasgow! :O
Alan Markley is his name
She s awesome ^__^
It does a great deal for the quality of the music as I see the springy soul dancing and prancing about to the groove of the music.
She's so full of life. This brightened up my night!!
Que bella!
She's amazing !!!!! And the musicians are sooooooo gooooooooood !!! I'm smiling²
amazing!
She/he is talented.
She is a female. Her name is Monika. How can this be a male's name?
thanks for giving us such a great energy and music.
nice mood!
That 1st song is my new fave. I love it. It's a hot centender for a wedding 1st dance.
Hermoso!!
My Monika from Greece :)
brilliant!
Είσαι ΘΕΆ!!!!!!!!!
I unreservedly love her
