I am a Jamaican boy. Grew up in the country side I said that to say, listening to these guys felt like I was back home listening to my fellow countrymen. A tiny language barrier, but that's all. This is the spirit of my ancestors. We are separated by merely a boat ride and the waves of the Caribbean. Beautiful!

This appeared my YouTube feed, and I clicked on it, not knowing what to expect. I was captivated from the first notes; and when they started dancing, I was in tears. It’s impossible to comprehend what these humble, beautiful artists have witnessed and endured, or the stores of strength and resilience they needed, not only to survive, but also to create something hopeful and joyous out of catastrophe. Thanks to NPR for helping to bring their story and their music to the world. To the great Adrien and Janvier, my profound gratitude and respect. May they make music always and be blessed with the love and tranquility they wish for us all.

This was moving for me, listening to this on hifi headsets. It russelled up emotions within me of a primal and of an ancestrial nature. The feelings of a song long forgotten and never actually listened to with my own ears. Something in my DNA was lifted from a slumber. It was very touching indeed, not many songs have done that to me as the intro song did. Well done fellas well done.

These guys sing in my mother's native language kinyarwanda (Rwandese). I've been a fan of tiny desk for years now but this one feels personal. I can feel it. I wish you guys could listen to the lyrics. So beautiful. Rwanda to the world!!! So proud of them. Thank you to tiny desk for sharing our traditional music.
