No one knows where that treasure chest is but me.

Watch Tank And The Bangas’ Tiny Desk Concert Now!

“Out of over 6,000 entries — more submissions than we’ve ever received — Tank And The Bangas won, unanimously, this year’s Tiny Desk Contest. I fully expected their victory performance here at NPR headquarters in D.C. to be celebratory. I didn’t know we’d all end up in tears.”

– Bob Boilen

Watch the full concert here.

There was not a dry eye to be found at NPR HQ when Tank and the Bangas performed at the Tiny Desk. This is one you don’t want to miss. 

Tank and the Bangas brought out all the feels here at NPR Headquarters when they made their victory lap around the Tiny Desk. If you haven’t heard them yet, they combine R&B with hip-hop’s poetry and rollercoaster storytelling, with a flair and alchemy that could only come from New Orleans. Their winning song, “Quick,” mixes liquor and revenge — a sort of modern day take on a great folk tale, but peppered with their own idiosyncratic flair and humor. — Meg Kelly
