Every January, I attend globalFEST at a New York City nightclub and see some of the most fantastic music I'll experience all year. Now, given the pandemic's challenges and the hardening of international borders, NPR Music and globalFEST moved the 2021 edition from the nightclub to your screen of choice and shared the festival with the world. We called it Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST. We presented 16 artists in intimate settings (often behind desks donning globes) representing more than a dozen countries.
Thirty feet below the surface in Brooklyn, 10th grader Nora Brown brings incredible, surprising depth to the Appalachian music she plays. Over the course of her Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST concert, surrounded by innumerable globes and instruments, she infuses new life and energy into the traditional songs of Addie Graham, Virgil Anderson and Fred Cockerham. Nora weaves together songs and storytelling, speaking of the great history of the music that came before her and at which she excels. This performance took place on the second night of our 2021 festival. --globalFEST

...we all playing same tune, telling same myth, of paradise lost, when their planet got struck by a planet, forming moon, annihilating every lifeform on bought planets in an instance.......she conveys the sorrow of the progentators, whose memory resides in our collective consciousness. The planet was reseeded w/ life, by them, because it was annihilated on impact......I mean, she sings the sorry of the progenitors who lost their World, and this onetrying to reengineer the planet......something went terribly wrong.....now we are alone. w/out them, w/ no program.....only lamentations. think about it!

@MarkBonneaux 2 года назад

There's a Buddhist parable where a monk asks the Buddha how many more lifetimes it'll take for him to attain enlightenment, "1000" replies the Buddha, and the monk is resentful because he's spent so many years studying, eating only plain rice, generally suffering. Behind him is a dancer with the same question and the Buddha replies the same answer, "1000.". The dancer rejoices, though, exclaiming "1000 more lives of bringing smiles and joy to those around me!" If you believe in reincarnation, I'd definitely say this girl is more of the latter than the former.

@Supeskaj 3 года назад

The second song really stood out to me. I don't know if that style is common, but I've never seen it before. She's finger picking without picks and only two fingers, but it sounds a bit like clawhammer. And then of course she finishes with flawless clawhammer.

@andrewscease8185 3 года назад

The complexity of that two-finger style is... I'm not sure what it is. It is deceptive. Simple and complex at once. Her playing has a wisdom which belies her chronological youth.

@rbdavisphoto 3 года назад

it's called Two finger thumb lead. If offers the subtleties of each note lost in Scruggs style 3 finger. It's a fairly common style among traditional banjo players and works well with clawhammer. You may want to look up Clifton Hicks.

@rbdavisphoto 3 года назад

@@andrewscease8185 it can have an unusual syncopation, while it looks easy, it is deceptive. You have to get away from the idea of patterns, like Scruggs Style, and work on the melody. The trick is adding 2, 1/8 notes out of a 1/4 note. You'll see her go from thumb-finger-thumb, then throw in a thumb finger finger thumb or reverse. It's a matter of convenience and style over an actual pattern to match the melody. You can't really think about it, rather it has to come naturally. Like my Uncle said, "You got it or you ain't"
