- 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 - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Nikki Birch | April 15, 2022
The opening piano notes are barely sufficient warning to brace for the sweet and powerful voices that transport us to Samora Pinderhughes' Tiny Desk (home) concert, shot on film. "The Cry" heralds our journey into the Bay Area native's sophomore album, GRIEF. The vocalists move briefly out of frame for "Masculinity," a probing, open letter that addresses masculine stereotypes with directness and compassion. The song blooms beautifully, with Pinderhughes accompanied by strings, a background chorus, and his sister, renowned flutist Elena Pinderhughes.
Between tunes, Pinderhughes greets us and shares that the setting for this Tiny Desk (home) concert is his exhibition, "The Healing Project," at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Five years in the making, the project explores trauma and healing from structural violence with conversations, film, music and art created by incarcerated artists, including the artist Pitt Panther. Pinderhughes then plays "Holding Cell," a dedication to those behind the walls. For his next song, Pinderhughes leads us to a blue space, a memorial shrine with candles, offerings and dedications, where we encounter the haunted pleas of "Grief."
Pinderhughes' ability to be vulnerable makes his music incredibly intimate. He reminds us of this quiet strength once again as he introduces the last song in his set, "Process," with some final thoughts: "I think a lot of times we get a message that we should just succeed or triumph over something that's difficult in our life, particularly things like depression or grief or anxiety. But sometimes it's about living alongside those things and just taking it one day at a time."

Surely one of the best young compositor humanist and soul fool of this last 10 years, good job Samora !
I loved him in August Greene. This should be great.

Who is the girl?? Amazing
Brilliant. This is a beautiful soul in Samora. Happy to have discovered him here! Just WOW.
Samora Pinderhughes and his constellation of co-authors and co-interpreters inhabit a beautiful form of art and commitment to personal and social healing.
Wow. Wow. Samora you are such a light and a gift and an extension from the well of the source. This right here was/is very much light work done well. And man oh man did y’all let y’all lights shine. I am inspired, seen, listened to, listening, shook, thrown off and also balanced from this.
My brother Jehbreal! Hey brotha!! You better sing! And love! And live! And be!
Wow and the instruments were just like y’all let angels come into your hands and voice boxes, and bodies and spiritual bodies and let them play heavens tunes!
Again, wow and BRAVO!
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I gotta take sometime with this one. This hit my heart. Inspired so much breath
“I guess I’ll just say it’s a process”
This is amazing. I was completely surprised by this one. Geniuses at work. New fan.
I have literally been obsessed with this guy and y'all make a Tiny Desk about him. He is insane
4:35-5 gave me chills. The backup singers in particular the woman in the blue was amazing 🤩. The combination between them ,her,the flutist, and Samora and the piano was 🙌🏽.
It’s 2:30am and I am here with a lump in my throat. The strength. The fragility. The pure artistry on display. So many thoughts and emotions. Thank you.
I was totally immersed in this experience... you all managed to convey your love and energy through the screen. Thank you. And y'all seem like amazing people
Samora’s “The Transformations Suite” was excellent! Samora your work, your art will be a part of my social justice soundtrack for these times. Beautiful delivery. Thank you.
The ability he has with his vocals to reach your soul, cleanse it and put it back. Tears. I feel the tears 😢😢😢
So far, I think this is my favorite performance from him. This is an absolutely beautiful program. Blessed to hear this.
Truly a voice for a generation. So glad to see him on the NPR series.
Wonderful is an understatement! Love the concept / musicians / vocalists /compositions! Thank you for making this happen and sharing for the world
Oh this hit it! Thank you Samora, Elena, and the rest of the beautiful musicians and artists on this tiny desk.

Even if I dont understand all words as the Europe I am, I´m still fascined by this project, as it seems. Wonderful music and wonderful musicians.
Lovely compositions. Great video production. I love how he dedicated his music to those who are struggling, or those who are in pain in some way. Wonderful!
Absolutely brilliant, powerful, moving and beautiful.
Love these types of musical collaborations - thanks again, Tiny Desk!!
Absolute underrated gem doing his own thing, total respect brother!
First numbers and immediate goose bumps temperature drop down and I chilled. Wonderful ensemble !
wow! brought me to tears. touched my soul very deeply. 🙏🏼❤️
Samor's music is something else
This is SO very beautiful. The sound is very David Crosby with his Lighthouse band. I wish I still lived in the Bay Area so I could see The Healing Project, as well as Samora perform in person. The world needs healing.
Okay he is such a sweetheart and love their sound
Been subscribed to NPR for a long time but realised recently that I hadn't turned the bell on and then this pops up the next day. What a great moment
Only problem I have here is I couldn't give it a thousand thumbs up.
Well this is unexpected, I had Samora's sound on the brain this week and watched the August Green episode a couple times.
Get these people an award for this one NPR!!!! Incredible.
Piercingly beautiful/so timely and powerful! Exceptional artistry and Spirit! WOW! THANK YOU.
