Glad to see a person unafraid to genuinely express who they are through the thing they love and not worry about the opinions of others. It's inspiring and refreshing.
All I can say after watching this I get it now…. Wow
I lived on the Big Island of Hawaii and had the most profound spiritual experiences every single day. I fully felt that I was a spiritual being in a human form there and this song exactly captured it. He tuned into the actual energy of the islands
It's psychedelic, it's outside of box, its quirky, it's trippy.......i like it!!!
Andre 3000 going from "Hey Ya" to "Heal Y'all"
So amazing to have this non commercial sound on a commercial platform…more more!
For those wondering this is a Native American block flute, also known as a Spirit Flute or First Nations Flute. It is a 6 hole double chambered instrument that is diatonically tuned. The second flute is the same kind of flute but is known as a drone flute - one pipe has holes and allows for melody while the other is tuned to a drone note (some flutes allow for that note to be adjusted). Its nice to see this going mainstream, as many of us in the community surrounding this instrument have believed in its potential for a long time.
Andre 3000 has proven he is beyond this planet this vibration is going to heal MILLIONS!!!❤
Andre 3000 is one of the coolest dudes who ever lived. Never before has an ad break in the middle of a video been so profoundly unwelcome. This is meditative and relaxing music. The album is historically significant.
Its pretty wild to see that album being performed on late night show live, shout out to people who decided to allow that
This is a massive win not just for Dre but for Ambient music. No other ambient artist would be able to be interviewed and perform on this big of a platform. He's opening a gaping doorway for our genre.
I’ve made these instruments for over 30 years. They’ve been made by human hands for at least 30,000 years. Bear bones. Bird bones. Bamboo. Now I use natural stalks … sunflower, agave, and branches. There are several native flute festivals scattered around the country. Mostly tuned in minor pentatonic keys, these instruments are diverse. Jazz and blues are my favorite jams. That F# drone flute Andre 3000 plays, is directly connected to the heart. Martinez is one of the best makers in the country. Well played tonight, Stephen
I respect and admire Andre's self-awareness and individuality. This music is dope. He's already an accomplished artist and one of the most influential performers. I'm pretty sure he had naysayers and haters before he started rapping too. I don't care if he plays a harmonica or kazoo, if it's good music...it's simply good music. His sound is so transcending (and ahead of its time), that it will take awhile for many to understand.
Andre is a true artist at heart, this is what happens when an artist is done creating for the masses and starts creating for themselves knowing those the project speaks to will understand. I’m so appreciative of this, pretty sure he took my soul to the laudry
I love people who aren't afraid to radically evolve and just keep getting brighter and more beautiful with age. Andre 3000 is a legend and I'm so glad you showed this whole performance!!
ngl this was a whole-ass vibe. kudos to stephen for givin us the full cut & allowing andre to receive his flowers. and can we please give it up to the dude back there workin his bells and his broom and his seashells and his swiffer duster, cuz babyyy he was doin the absolute most.
This was not the album we asked for but the one he and we needed. Brave, human tones for the soul
The note to his mom written on the stage </3, so sweet. Thank god for parents who truly love their children.
This rested my mind and spirit by only 2 minutes in and before I realized how relaxed I became.
