Rokia Traoré: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Музыка
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), all hosted by African superstar Angélique Kidjo.
Rokia Traoré performed at globalFEST in 2005, the music festival's second year, and it's a thrill to present her meditative performance as part of Tiny Desk meets globalFEST. Her work is rooted in the Malian musical tradition, but defies the confines of a single culture. Born in Mali to a diplomat father, Traoré had a nomadic upbringing that exposed her to a wide variety of international musical influences. She joins us from Blues Faso, a theater inside her Foundation Passerelle in Mali, which she created to support emerging, interdisciplinary artists, from music and the performing arts to visual arts and photography.

FINALLY! Can't believe it took NPR so long to get this amazing artist on...
Malian pride 🇲🇱 ✊🏾!
Yaaaaassss this is healing music! I have no idea what she's singing about could be rice & beans for all my conscience mind knows. My SPIRIT is moved like the music is touching me on a cellular level easing the physical pain I woke up with!! Healing indeed💙💙💙

Traditional music is on another level. It heals soul, it touches souls with instruments and frequencies.Muchas bendiciones 🙏🏾
Beautiful ! She has a magical voice. Love it !! FYI There is a book of Amadou Hampâté Bâ « Amkoullel l’enfant Peul » (I think) behind her, he is a very important Malian writer from the 20th century. A must read !!

Is there a reason for the discrepancy with the set list?
Malian music is close to my heart
Seen her perform a few years ago in Scotland, loved her then still love her now.
I used to hear a Malian musician most evenings getting off the A train it was so true, makes me want to cry.
We always expect great and spiritual vibrations when Rokia stay present on stage!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Trespassing our souls like a fluid river...
Her voice is mesmerizing.
I don’t know what she’s saying but I can’t stop listening. It’s beautiful ❤️❤️
Spiritual and profound music of the wonderful Africa, which fills my soul.
Rokia wow 😳 what a talent!
On the 7th of March 2014 my wife and me were in the happy circumstance to shake hands with Rokia Traoré after her concert in Rotterdam. An impressive kind lady with fantastic music. She can also play the guitar in a rocking mode.
J’adooooore quel talent mon homonyme. Vive Rokia la diva malienne. Une de mes artistes préférés. Vive le Maliba. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mandingo music .... just simply good .
One of the best singers in the world.
Just wanted to comment here to proudly share that I've been sober for 490 days.

Rokia ,emoción y belleza musical que traspasa con un flechazo el corazón, gracias

Yeeeeesssss such a beautiful, pure, voice!
Healing
I love this so much
I first heard Rokia at The Afrika fest in Hertme a few years ago (on youtube) and really enjoyed her and the band then. Her voice has really matured into a very fine and powerful singer. She sounds like one of the greats like Omou Sangare etc. This performance is amazing.
magnifique! Merci beaucoup à Rokia et aux musiciens!
Isn't it beautiful how music finds a way of communicating without shared language present. Shes singing about love of the purest form. Such a lovely vibration
This is BLACKTASTIQUE and a great idea/way to restructure globalFEST!!! In the description about the musicians you seem to have left out the balafon player and the musician on the far left playing the "ngoni"..

I was lucky enough to see her first (free) concert in NYC, I think it was 2000 or 2001 just outside the Lincoln Theater, warm beautiful feelings come back when I think of that day...
