Tiwa Savage: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Abby O'Neill | August 31, 2020
For her Tiny Desk (Home) Concert, Tiwa Savage returned, from London, to her birthplace of Lagos, Nigeria. She and The Alternative Sound band set up at the beautiful Jazzhole, a historic vinyl shop well-regarded among record collectors for the rarities within.
"As much as I would have loved to have performed at Bob's desk," she wrote to us in email afterwards, "I am really honored to have captured my session in my home city of Lagos, Nigeria. The Jazzhole is a happy place for me and always feels like home." With floor-to-ceiling shelves packed with books and albums as a backdrop, it certainly seems familiar to us, too - reminiscent of our performance cubicle at NPR HQ.
Tiwa, a veteran R&B and Afrobeat singer who began her career at age 11, has an enthralling elegance - both with the soft tonality of her voice and her striking natural beauty. On "Dangerous Love" she speaks to matters of the heart, takes a detour to the Reekado Banks single "Like" that she featured on, before wrapping the set with her newest single, "Koroba," which blends her native Yoruba language with Nigerian Pidgin English, underpinned by a catchy, feel-good rhythm.
SET LIST
"Dangerous Love"
"Attention"
"Like"
"Koroba"

She is 40 ... where ??? she's younger than me and I am 27 ... Queen
With that naive opinion, when you turn 40 you will be shocked to see you don’t look or feel old either.
I knooooow! I just googled her age and I'm SHOCKED!
Lol
Next Stop New Earth let her give the lady a compliment jeez
She 40...dang I always thought in her late 20s..
I am a South African musician and producer, and i would like to say that I AM SO SO SO VERY PROUD of our Nigerian artists for the beautiful authentic music they create. TIWA SAVAGE you are the best Queen, my music is mostly inspired by most of nigerian musicians. Keep banging!!!!
I reside in Kempton Park SA, do u want a meet up bro
Love you too brother 🌺
This is your time... D planet belongs to d true K8ngs & Queens 💯🙏🇮🇪🛸🛸👽🤘

As our politicians continue to disappoint us, Nigerian artists and creatives make us proud 🇳🇬❤️
Agreed.

The African Queen.. I've been stanning since kele kele.. Never looked back.. Love from GH ❤💜
Me too!
same kele kele was my jam!
Yoo yes!! “I no do kele kele no kele kele love ooo’’ This song was ahead of it’s time 😩
Tiwa Savage is the best (secular) female musician Nigeria has ever produced. All you need do is listen to her discography and you'll agree...
She and Asa
Ya in Africa as a whole..... She and Asa .
Closest I've seen from the at home concerts to being like a true Tiny Desk, props to everyone that set that venue up
Go listen to her new album ‘Celia’ you would love it!!
Billie Eilish and Finneas tiny desk looked legit! Actually looked like they could’ve been there :)
This is actually a bookstore/coffee store in Lagos, Nigeria. It's called "Jazzhole" if you ever want to check it up
Jacob, have you seen the one with Lila Ike? That's a nice Tiny Desk-like setup too!
this setup looks nicer than tiny desk original setup to be honest!! the lighting is just perfect!!
I need an acoustic album at this point 😍
She has an album celia
I agree. I always find the sound on NPR concerts are always better than the studio versions.
An acoustic album!?" Yes, without question.... YES!!! This performance was beyond superb & not to go without mention one of the best NPR Tiny Desk Concerts, ever! I felt like I was in an exclusive night club or better yet, an ultra-exclusive country club, nestled in Lagos or Abuja! The musicians were top-notch and equally as talented! SUPERB! Acoustic album Tiwa!
Facts .. 💯
Nigerian women are so beautiful. Love from a Somali!
So as Somalia & Ethiopia
💕💕💕💕
my absolute favorite song from Tiwa “dangerous love”
After this?? Sis we demand an acoustic album!!!!
Facts
Period
Honestly
Yep
exactly!!!
There's something about her aura that calms me so much.
Exactly
Go listen to her new album ‘Celia’ you would love it!!
She’s hypnotizing 🤩
Her sultry voice is everything ❤️
She is like that cool older cousin that ulook forward to seeing at the family function
Why is everyone so surprised at being 40? She looks great, 40 is not old, thats how she’s supposed to look😀
Right. And, yes, she is gorgeous 💗.
This is African people at their normal diet, no need to reinvent the wheel.
She looks younger, she looks like she is her 20s
Ok
Right
Am I the only one watching the bassist ? He's so happy to be here, singing and stuff, love it !!!
I had no idea who she was, but boy I'm glad I clicked! Her voice is velvety smooth and the band is nice and tight.
she has a new album out called "Celia" check it out on either Apple music, Deezer, Spotify, Amazon music, boomplay, audiomack, RUclips music
Check her songs out. She's so good 🔥
This is awesome Tiwa.. amazing!!! 😍😍😍😍
Tiwa.... You know, we love you very much in Poland. And your music too
It's Tiwa :)
❤️❤️💖💖💖😗🥰🥰💕💕💗❣️❣️
💕💕💕💕
Tiwa, my daughter named her daughter after you. We love you! Your always fabulous, young Queen! Your voice is soft, feminine and beautiful!
No auto tune, every part of her voice hits the voice straight up
Alternate sound killed this big time. Barr Ken giving me goose bumps on the bass👍
Amazing Tiwa! Refreshing to hear her voice without all her vocal layers and mix...so pure, sweet and tender, silky tone. This part of Tiwa is what I've always envisioned her music to sound like...Jazzy-Afro Soul
Definitely
She should run with the live sound it hits different IMO
Been saying that! I’m so happy to hear her silky, soft and vulnerable voice. It’s so touching ...
How's she 40 looking that fine? Shoutout to all the queens from the Motherland
No wayyyyyy... 🤯......
💞
You can’t be serious
You lie.....shid we gotta do better over here😅. She legit look like someone in their early 20s
Nah I can't believe... Wow she looks better than me
I just discovered her because of her song with Brandy and now I am obsessed!!!!!!
Dangerous Love is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
If this is your introduction to Tiwa Savage, please come on this bus because she’s always giving life!
She's the top selling female artiste in Africa. she did backup for George Michael, Whitney Houston and Mary J Blige. She co-wrote Fantasia Collard Greens and Cornbread and was also on Beyonce's album Keys to the Kingdom (Black is King)...... Just type Tiwa Savage on here, you'll see a plethora of her works
I don’t understand everything that is being sung but my soul can relate. My favorite Tiny Desk.
She's the best African female artiste. Her music is so good. She's a graduate of the University of Kent where she studied jazz music. I can help you through her music if you don't mind
Okay she is begging her lover not too tired of her because she wont get ever tired of him. When she sees him her body is talking. She's deep in love with him in the first song
Second song-she says she's getting tired of him. He no longer does the things he used to do and she's now the only one doing the texting and calling. She says something is now missing in their relationship she'll go to someone who will give her quality attention
@@gozioleks9610 her any yemi Alade
So beautiful . Her , the band , the music .❤
The band is so good. Tiwa’s touch? Heavenly 😭
maaaaaaaaaaaan, i gotta get to the motherland. this ish is fire
Bass player told everyone that they weren’t ready for his groove and they didn’t listen. This was his warm up.
You're an inspiration Tiwa❤💘
💯
Bass player hit a home run even before the music started.
My favorite instrument
The bass lines were criminal. The first first song had me grooving like mad.
I was reading Chimamanda Adichie and discovered Tiwa... I’m completely in love! Brazil loves you, Tiwa
Which book my dear please
@@princemevegni3322 Americanah?
Please check out her newly released album titled "Celia" on all stream plat form, stream and enjoy.
She has Brazilian blood 🩸 cruising in her veins ...she also one of you.
That Base guitar is King. This music made me want to stop everything I was doing
Please check out her newly released album titled "Celia" on all stream plat form, stream and enjoy. Her name is Tiwa Savage, the queen of Africa music 🥰🥰✌️⚔️⚔️⚔️
Right! Beautiful music!
When Tiwa sings “a joro, jara, joro” I tear up from the homage to the great Fela Kuti! 🥺🙏🏾
What does that sentence mean?
Waiting for the meaning too ^^
@@dorianehoussou7684 A slang by fela kuti, Originally from Yoruba people(part of Nigeria) kid's playground..... Meaning of the slang? You'd have to ask a very old Yoruba person to ask answer that
@@julianajohn5384 very old indeed 😂
on what song?
i could throw my shoe at her. this is toooo good
Tried the whole couch but she got me so relaxed I could barely lift a finger...
💯
💯💥💯
Facts sis! Geeeez
I just read this comment and screamed at my desk. My boss is looking at me like I am a crazy person.
The sound on tiny Desk is much better than the sound on album. She and the band are smoother and jazzier. And i love it this way.
Rap almost always sounds better to me on Tiny Desk. I think artists are always pleased with their presentations too. Wish it becomes a long-lived, popular trend.
Nigerians are so beautiful, inside and out!
Tiwa is like the Brandy of Afrobeat beautiful vocals ❤️🤗
That's right. So many beautiful female anthem from Afrobeats perspective.
And now they have a song together 🤪♥️🌚
mmh nope Brandy is on another level....Tiwa is just ok
@@clarencenkomo9182 invalido
Brandy is best singer than Tiwa. But it's not at all the same style, moreover she has a different phrasing from that of Brandy, but I admit in the vibes we find Brandy but it's still Tiwa ^^
Y’all, she has a new album « Celia » out now on all streaming platforms! She’s incredible !
Elite gang
Thank u
I don't have Apple Music or Pandora. How else can I get her music? Google Play doesn't work either.
Lisa Rawlings you can listen to her music on all streaming platform (Spotify, Boomplay, Audiomack, Tidal...). Or else, her RUclips channel is “Tiwa Savage” and all the songs and music videos are available there
This comment section is so beautiful!
😊😊 yeah it's thrilling
Nothing will ever beat African bass for me ❤️🎸
Started as an algorithm suggestion and ended up listening to her ENTIRE ALBUM twice the other day...and now it's in the rotation. Great sound. Beautiful voice and vibe.
Everyone: "wow, her singing!"
Me: "that band is so tight"
The bass tone is so sexy
Yeah not sure about her voice honestly
Dat BASS
Alternate Sounds never lets down.
you're such a musician
I am DYINGGG
After Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, am looking forward to seeing Wizkid, Salatiel and all those Africa stars!
Why no Wizkid? Sauti soul is not even big outside Kenya
@@williky4164 leave the clown. They like debating youtube comments these days.
hopefully, they can get Davido too
@@triplebs3520 imagine a feat wizkid and davido here on Tiny Desk.hmmm

The only npr concert I can watch to the end
I discovered Tiwa Savage 5 days ago. Now I can't stop watching her on RUclips! I've watched this video 10 straight times today and it's not enough. I love Nigerian music. I love Afrobeats. I'm from the Philippines by the way. And did anybody mention that the bass player is probably the best in the world?
💕💕💕💕
Wow! All the way from The Philippines? Afrobeats are very cool.
Just today for me… she is definitely AMAZING
Bass on another level. The guy is killing it!
Nothing like fining a new artist......

Afro beats 😍 best music on the planet 🌎
Tiwa's music either gets you dancing or slipping into a trance. There's no escaping it 🤔
You are so right, her music always has so much soul in it
