Like many people, I love the well-produced 'live in studio' videos musicians and artists have done over the past decade or so, especially the ongoing series from NPR's Tiny Desk and KEXP's studio sessions. There's also other great performances that mostly are available only in the depths of YouTube, though it seems like some artists are finally realizing they could press these on vinyl or release them separately as well. Here's a few of my favorites over the years that I've been rocking to now and then but figured I'd throw into a mix. Salute to all these amazing folks - like Scarface says, there's something about great music man!!

He was a founding member of the Grateful Dead who played guitar, wrote and sang in the band for 30 years. After Jerry Garcia died and the Grateful Dead disbanded in 1995, Weir kept the spirit of the music alive for three more decades, creating new Deadheads for generations to come — he brought John Mayer, Billy Strings and even the National Symphony Orchestra into the Grateful Dead universe.

This week on Unglossy, Tom, Bun B, and Jeff pull up chairs with DC's own Noochie—the mind, mic, and movement behind Live From the Front Porch. What starts as a freestyle on his stoop evolves into one of the most important new stages in contemporary culture, drawing everyone from Big G and Raheem DeVaughn to Robin Thicke, George Clinton, and Snoop in a borrowed wheelchair.Noochie walks us through his origin story—growing up in the shadows of Go-Go royalty, navigating label highs and industry letdowns, learning audio engineering in a legendary studio, and building a creative work ethic forged in DC, Atlanta, and Hollywood. Then he breaks down how the porch became a cultural touchstone: a homegrown Tiny Desk with more bass, more soul, and far more neighborhood dogs walking by.We get into the Houston–DC connection, the power of place in hip-hop, the responsibility of curation, why artists feel like family by the time they leave his block, and how the front porch just touched the Kennedy Center and might soon hit the road.Burgers get discussed. Crabs get promised.

Brad “Scarface” Jordan — Houston's own “every rapper's favorite rapper” — turned 55, and he's celebrating like a man who earned every year. The iconic MC is hosting a massive 55th Birthday Bash & Concert at the Bayou Music Center (11/14/25), and the city is ready. This milestone hits different. Scarface spent the past few years fighting through some of the toughest health challenges of his life, and tonight feels like a victory lap that almost never happened. Before the party kicks off, Scarface sat down with Madd Hatta of Majic 102.1 for a conversation that quickly turned into one of the most honest interviews of his career. The tone shifted from serious to funny to deeply reflective, sometimes within the same sentence. Scarface spoke openly about the health scares that nearly took him out — the aortic aneurysm, the kidney transplant from his son, and the heart surgery he faced late last year. He admitted he didn't want the surgery at first. Someone had to talk him into it. That decision saved his life. He carried that reality with him into the interview. His voice carried the weight of survival but also the energy of a man who still has things to do. At one moment he told Hatta, “To die young was an honor… And if you got old, you lived twice.” It was the kind of line only Scarface could deliver — raw, poetic, and shaped by everything he has lived through. The conversation didn't stay in the heavy lane, though. Scarface lit up when talking about music. He broke down the storytelling in classics like “Can't Get Right.” He talked about the impact of his viral Tiny Desk performance, which introduced a new generation to the depth of his catalog. And even though he said he wasn't planning to make another album, he revealed that a documentary and a biopic are already in motion. His story is coming to the screen, finally. He also hinted that he might not be fully done with music. There's a spark there. You can hear it. Scarface didn't promise anything, but the door isn't shut, and fans know that once the creative urge hits him, history tends to follow. Tonight's event reflects that same spirit. The 55th Birthday Bash promises special guests, live band energy, and a room full of people who have grown up with his music. Scarface plans to greet fans personally. He wants the night to feel like a thank you — not just a performance, but a moment shared with the people who stood with him through the highs and the darkest lows. At 55, Scarface stands as more than a rapper. He is a living document of hip-hop. A survivor with stories still unfolding. A man who has walked right up to the edge of life and decided to come back with deeper purpose.

He shares how he first got noticed as a songwriter, what it was like giving away songs that later became global hits, and how he learned to balance being a behind-the-scenes pen with stepping into the spotlight as an artist.The crew dives deep into the evolution of R&B, from the era of slow jams and rain-soaked music videos to today's viral hits, and why the genre is having a real resurgence. Eric breaks down how the club scene, R&B parties, and social media all helped bring that soulful sound back, and why the culture needed it. He also talks about his creative process, the importance of setting the right vibe in the studio, and how a little “trophy smoke” helps him tap into his most inspired zone.From there, things get hilarious. The conversation turns to karaoke horror stories, the real difference between singers and rappers, and why comedians never have panties thrown at them on stage. Eric also opens up about his viral Tiny Desk moment with Usher, explaining how that one surprise performance reset his career and introduced him to a whole new audience.The conversation doesn't stop at music either. The crew gets into the business side—Eric talks about starting his label, mentoring new artists, and staying independent in an industry that's constantly changing. They even explore the rise of AI in music, how it's reshaping the creative process, and why real artistry will always win over algorithms.By the end, it's clear why Eric Bellinger has remained one of the most respected voices in R&B, he's talented, grounded, and still just as passionate about the craft as the day he started. Whether you're a diehard R&B fan, a creative chasing your dream, or just here for the laughs, this episode delivers it all: game, humor, and heart.

Há 20 anos, uma jovem de São Paulo lançou um disco que cruzava samba, hip hop, afrobeat, jazz e poesia com uma naturalidade rara. De lá pra cá, Céu se tornou uma das vozes mais criativas e reconhecidas da música brasileira contemporânea. Uma artista que nunca se deixou prender por rótulos, que foi ousando disco a disco, criando pontes entre tradição e modernidade. Hoje, celebrando duas décadas de carreira, ela olha pra trás com um repertório cheio de marcos – de trilhas sonoras de novela a prêmios internacionais, de shows em grandes palcos a experimentações intimistas. E ao mesmo tempo, olha pra frente, como uma das primeiras cantoras a participar da edição brasileira do Tiny Desk, um espaço que celebra a música em sua forma mais crua e próxima. Nesse encontro, queremos revisitar essa trajetória e atravessá-la pelos lugares que Céu gosta de explorar: o ser artista, o ser mulher, o ser mãe. Há 20 anos, ela transforma vida em canção. E se tem algo que sua trajetória mostra é que, pra ela, nem o céu é o limite. _____ Anuncie no Mamilos ou contrate a consultoria Milos: mamilos@mamilos.me Saiba mais em Mamilos.me

There's no question that Mexican vocalist and composer Silvana Estrada is special to Alt.Latino. Ever since she launched her 2022 album "Marchita" with a series of revelatory singles, she seemingly spoke directly to Alt.Latino co-host Anamaria Sayre.Since those earliest days, the two have been able to spend quite a bit of time together in interviews and other public gatherings, which only brought them closer on a personal level. Now, as Estrada releases her new album, "Vendrán Suaves Lluvias," and celebrates the publication of her Tiny Desk Concert, it seemed like a good time to sit in on the ever-flowing conversations between the two of them.The result is a conversation that is probably a lot more personal than you're used to. And that's OK. Because Silvana is a performer of complex emotions, and while you can experience those emotions through songs, sometimes you have to hear things for yourself. Enjoy.This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.

Gloria Estefan is one of those musicians whose work and mere presence in the record industry deserves without question platitudes like ‘pioneering' or ‘ground breaking.' In fact, we have often mentioned her in that light throughout the fifteen years of Alt.Latino. So it was a thrill to invite her to chat with us once again, this time immediately after a stunning Tiny Desk performance that will publish on October 13th. She gives serious Favorite Tiá vibes, and since she and Felix are close in age, it felt like a conversation with a good friend with a fascinating life story - who just happens to have one of the richest song catalogs in Latin music history.This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.
