“Beenie Man brings Kingston to Washington DC” — that’s the reaction from fans online following the Dancehall icon’s epic performance on NPR Music’s Tiny Desk concert series.
In the video shared by NPR Music as part of their Black Music Month celebration, Beenie Man, backed by the Ruff Kut Band, powered through decades of classic hits, leaving fans and fellow entertainers in awe.
Artists like Alaine, Tosh Alexander, and Tulox of Twin of Twins lit up the comments section with praise. Alaine and Tulox dropped flame emojis, while Tosh Alexander declared:
“Easily one of our best performers of all time.”
NPR Music’s Tiny Desk, launched nearly 16 years ago, is renowned for its intimate, live performances inside the NPR Music office. Beenie Man now joins an elite lineup that includes Damian Marley, Sean Paul, Shaggy & Sting, Chronixx, Protoje, Koffee, Lila Ike, Usher, and Mac Miller.
