As captivating as birds who sing in sync, MARO's guitar trio brought an almost imperceptible, natural beauty to her Tiny Desk, characteristic of an artist truly in her element.
It makes sense that the Portuguese guitarist and singer-songwriter would feel at home in this space given her previous visit to the Desk as a featured player and vocalist in Jacob Collier's Tiny Desk concert. Beyond that, the artist came ready-made for the platform, prepared to lay bare a transfixing expression of bilingual heartbreak, strung together by the seamless narration of three acoustic guitars.
Opening with "há-de sarar," the singer invited the listener to participate in her journey of heartbreak with sing-songy guitar harmonies and gently ebbing Portuguese vocals. Transitioning to "just wanna forget you," MARO reminded the audience of the raw emotionality of her lyricism, trading languages to emphasize the melancholic guitar rhythms, weaving a tale she suggested most can relate to. Finishing with "can you see me?" and "I SEE IT COMING," she encouraged everyone to join in singing, inserting whatever lyrics or sounds they felt compelled to add.
At every stage of her performance, she reminded the listener that regardless of language, culture or place, within a few weeping guitars and mesmerizing vocals lies some deeply and universally felt truths.

Hey Tiny Desk Fans,
Check out NPR’s Black Stories, Black Truths - a collection of podcasts hosted by journalists who speak truth to power. Our voices are as varied, nuanced, and dynamic as the Black experience. And stories should never be about us without us. Listen now: www.npr.org/podcasts/510372/black-stories-black-truths
the beauty here is in no sense "almost imperceptible!"
NPR! ❤️ THANK YOUUU for having us, it’s truly an honor to be a part of such a special project :)
marooo, você é surreal! ❤
What else can be better as a greatfull person WHO let hearts fly ?
Never heard of you before but you were phenomenal in this!
Dario has no right to complain about the tuning. It was Igor Stravinsky who said about harpists: "They spend half of their time tuning and the other half playing out of tune." That's where I live.
Jokes aside, this was a wonderful performance. You made my day.
absolutely great. Hope to catch you guys on tour in Mtl someday
So rare to hear three guitars being blended and played so accurately and dynamically that they don’t get in one another’s way but rather sound like a single instrument. Magical.
Very usual between the best guitar players in Portugal and Spain.
Very well said. The driving and grounding force from the guitar rhythm is coupled with such beautiful harmony. Truly something special.. especially starting at 10:12. Gorgeous song...wow
You should hear the entire record. This is present in every song.
@@ppaccola what is the name of the record?
Totally! x
I don't often comment on videos. But these were honestly among the most beautiful sounds my ears heard my entire life.
Same.
when you can you should totally go to her concert. it is magical
the guitars and her voice just blend so beautifully
Her voice is literally magical - unbelievable how good it is
Its almost like she's breathing life into my ears. Such a gentle and strong voice.
This is by far one of the cleanest and most refined NPR performances ever. The songwriting is excellent, so is the performance and I've literally lost track of time.
I think she was also in the Jacob Collier tiny desk concert which was just mint
So proud to see a Portuguese singer on the Tiny Desk 🙂 Parabéns Maro!
Sem dúvida! O Camané já lá esteve mas de resto não me lembro de mais ninguém.

Thank you!
❤B.u.t.ful
There's something about Maro's voice that just makes me want to leave everything behind and go on an endless road trip. Also, what a beautiful mix with the guitars sounding phenomenal!
Funny how I'm currently on a road trip and I literally just discovered her
Também sinto isso ❤
Shamefully admitting this is my first time hearing MARO and I am absolutely blown away by this beautiful sound.
Me too! What a great discovery this is!
same!
Same here, can´t belive I missed this.
She's been doing some great live work with Jacob Collier the last few years
Same. Soo happy I’ve found her too.
MARO is an incredible artist. Everything she has done is a chef’s kiss. More people need to get to know her. The voice of a Portuguese Tracy Chapman. The songwriting of a Portuguese Joni Mitchell. The sound of a Portuguese Nick Drake.
Where is she from again ?
@@stephanusmarkovich not clear ahah
I can see Tracy Chapman , not quite the other two...
Getting that nick Drake thing.. good stuff!
@@stephanusmarkovich Portugal Caralho!!!!
MARO's performance at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 made me a die-hard fan of hers. She's one of the most talented musicians out there and I'm glad she's finally getting the recognition she deserves :)
Plllo oh😊😊😊😊
Jacob Collier's NPR Tiny Desk had me listen to MARO for the first time. Followed her ever since, and I'm so happy she finally got her own Tiny desk concert!
😗❤beautiful xx
Same here! Glad she's getting so much recognition :)
Me too
Same. With the bonus that I realized that she's from my country too ahah
as well as I did! Luv her
Maro finally getting the recognition she deserves
Shared by whom ever, this is high art. Never heard and listened. Watch the fingers on three guitars and hear. By this the voice of MARO and you get complete. Belive me I have heard and seen some gigs in my life. About life gigs in acoustics this one is a star for this session. Nearly impossible to repeat but I know only by themselves. Life moment 🎉❤
The three guitars together are like a cascade of maple syrup to my ears. With the unbelievable softness of Maro's voice it made me go through heaven for a little while. Thank you ♥️♥️
This is the best tiny desk concert ever.
Going back here everytime as if it was a comfort place or something like that ❤🩹
Nem acredito que foi preciso a Billie eilish partilhar um story disto para eu vir ouvir. Rendi-me e chorei até, muitas muitas emoções. Parabéns!!
E a Maro fez diversos shows no Brasil no início do ano. Fez shows em São Paulo, Brasília, Rio de Janeiro etc. E neste mês de dezembro fez shows exclusivos em São Paulo. Ela é muito amiga do Pedro Altério. Um grande músico que faz parte da maravilhosa banda Cinco a Seco, se não conhece esta banda, recomendo escutar a música: "Pra você dar o nome". E ela lançou uma canção dela junto com o duo ANAVITÓRIA no canal do Vevo. Ficou muito boa a junção das três cantando.
I DID THE EXACT SAME THING OMGG
este álbum faz me chorar tantas vezes ..não é choro de tristeza nem alegria ,é simplesmente de estar a ouvir algo tão belo que apenas me cai lágrimas ....
obrigado maro 👍🏻
I almost cried. Thank God for such amazing talent. Such work of art❤❤
I've been following Maro since her Berklee College days. She has been amazing for a very long time... I'm Glad the world is finally getting to witness her greatness.
Her cover of Third Story’s “Searching for a Feeling” with those 2 other uni students is amazing! I used to listen to that so much
I have lost my musical heart to Maro. Touches me deeply every time
This is something different. I actually entered to check the sound and exit, but I watched the video from beginning to end in one shot. I haven't heard anything this harmonious, natural and peaceful in a long time. It's the first time I've been so uncomfortable with the ads that come in between, this video made me feel the need to buy RUclips premium :))
MARO has been the act that has taught me that you don't have to understand the words in order to understand the music. hortelã has become one of my favorite albums of all time and every time it succeeds to grab me with both arms and warm me up by their undeniable talent, lyricism and tone. Thank you for your music and for teaching me what music is really about.
🎉🎉❤
Huge fan since the Eurovision, on of the best things ever to be at Eurovision, of course it didn't win, great music rarely does. So happy about this NPR Tiny Desk Concert!
11:55 bro seriously tuned his guitar for a split sec. this is the best tiny desk concert
Gosh I’m back after a year and it hits the same, so so beautiful🥹❤
Anyone else obsessed
Have been into Maro since her Saudade stuff, and in the process have discovered how rich Portuguese music is.
Im a sucker for Arabic/Islamic-influenced music since the scales, harmony & nuances are very distinct, so her material was a breath of fresh air. Very rustic yet unconventional which is always refreshing.
Try listening to António Zambujo.
@@vp3664 will check it out, thanks
Try listening to Tamino. I've been looking for something similar since discovering him. This lady kinda fits!
This is not arabic/islamic it's "iberian" influenced (Portugal and Spain) an influence by its own right, it's a blend of Arab + African + European Mediterranean
I was lucky to see her in São Paulo and now I’m lucky to can hear her songs walking down the streets in Lisbon. Thank you so much for you music. Our language is beautiful and I’m very proud to see lyrics in Portuguese connecting people.
I'm new here. But gosh is she just astonishing. Beauty on my eardrums. I don't think I have heard anything so beautiful in my life 😮❤️ I am obsessed!
Some of the best arrangements out there.
Vim pelos stories da billie e me apaixonei pela voz dessa mulher e os arranjos musicais impecáveis! incrível como transbordam arte! ❤🇧🇷
Merci ❤!!!!! Thanks a lot for your songs ....your sounds make me not alone anymore...🫶👍🙏 Thanks for listening to you by Tiny desk... it' s a dream for me ...maybe ...one day❤🙏☮️Peace Love and Music for Life 🙏
The voice of an angel 😇 and she’s Portuguese!❤
Parabéns, Maro's guitar trio! Absolute pleasure. Thanks for coming back! ❤
probably the most beautiful tiny desk I’ve watched 🫶🏼
She expresses a feeling while singing and playing which a lot of people lack. Thank you 🙏🏻
“Just wanna forget you” sounds so beautiful in this performance 🥺 in love
In complete agreement. Beautiful.
I love this band so much I need to learn Portuguese
I knew her from a song with Jacob Collier, but her own material is fantastic, wow!
Yes! I also discovered her because of that song and then started listening to her own albums... Such a beautiful voice!
I cannot wait to see you in Berlin in September. Your music touches me so much. Com gratidao do fundo da alma
Just tree acoustic guitars and a voice, and I already love it. This airy feeling like sitting in the shadow, still with enough warmth from these wonderful musicians. Portugal is more than fado.
Sorry, three guitars, not tree.....:-)
maro music makes me wanna cry man i am not even going to lie. i just love her so much
her sound is just so captivating . even when she doesnt speak english , you could feel it still
"Just wanna forget you" is the most beautiful song in the history of song writing ❤
Carefully crafted. Beautiful.
I'm definitely hypnotized by this incredible woman...
Stunningly beautiful. One of the best Tiny Desks I've ever seen.
I saw Maro playing in Rio, at the Copacabana Theatre, and it was a true blessing. What an artist. Had tears of joy during the concert with such a talented artist with truly emotional lyrics, both in English and Portuguese. Incrível e emocionante!
sou brasileiro, e é maravilhoso ver nossos irmãos lusófonos representando a arte de maneira tão profunda! Viva a música🎉
Simply magical and soul touching! the sounds of her voice and the 3 guitars playing together is sublime. Thank you NPR for having Maro and her group on your project.
NPR Tiny Desk is for me one of the most relevant ways to discover or rediscover music today. I don’t know anything about sound but the sheer genius and brilliance of NPR sound producers is out of this world. You transcend technique and just create beauty. You are archiving human culture for future generations. Just poetry! You should print this sound in stone. 😊
MARO is distinctive and unique. Any comparison with others in music is limping. You don't compare the Beatles or Elton John to other artists either. MARO is a small miracle from which the music lives. One of the most beautiful wonders of this world named MARO.
😊✌️
Such a gorgeous sound. I love this.
This makes me feel so emotional ! Beautiful trio. I can't stop listening to Maro !!!
If I am ever having a particularly emotional day, I come back to this video. The tone of her voice, the playfulness in the playing from all 3 of them, and the overall energy they perform with is so calming. Thank you for this you beautiful humans!
Maro, the beauty of your soul is being manifested in music. I think you should know... :)
The sound engineer obviously had some fun, cause this sounds amazing!
Maro is such an enormous artist. She should be more famous, I think. Her music goes directly to your soul. Maro if you ever see this, your music is saving me right now!
Actually, the privilege is ours... And I must confess I feel sorry for having only discovered MARO in March 2022, by the time she won Festival da Canção. Congratulations on this amazing concert 😊!
the same thing happens in our countries, bad music, bad actors, bad presenters, bad politicians always appear first and are always given more visibility....
Maro's Nao Faz Sentido is easily my post listened to song of last year.
“Can you see me?” gets me every single time. Such a beautiful song with heartfelt lyrics.
Such an honor to exist in Maro's era! Truly a blessing ❤️
WOW!! A Portuguese artist in NPR!!
I´ve been following NPR for a while... and was wondering when a Portuguese singer could be there!
Congratulations!
O Camané já cantou no Tiny Desk
@@danielvmelim.studio e a Nenny tb, apesar de ter sido home concert
E agora também a Marta Pereira da Costa :)
Dia 25 de outubro verei este trio ao vivo em Brasília. Mal posso esperar e já estou aqui contando os dias. Tenho certeza que será um grande show. Maro é maravilhosa. Quem ai vai nos shows dela em 2024 aqui no Brasil?
Já comprei o meu ingresso também, para Belo Horizonte em outubro.
Coming back here continually waiting for "MARO: Tiny Desk Concert" to reach 1M views to have it on Spotify 🙈🎶
🎉
@maro.musica 🙌🎉
🎉🎉🎉
Obsesionada con ella desde hace algunos días que la descubrí. ❤
I didn't know I needed a guitar trio. This is magical 😊
Yesssssssss!!😊
The guitar performance throughout this is extraordinary, so tastefully played
one of the best tiny desk concert ever
Saw her last week with Jacob Collier in Lisbon. It was really a incredible moment. The future is hers.
Beautiful guitar harmony and a great singer
Hey Maro, Dario & Pau, wow you are all fantastic musicians and you play your guitars absolutely perfectly!!! 🔥Added to this is this soulful voice terrific !!! Greetings from Frankfurt Volker
This has to be one of the best Ive ever heard
After a year of listening to this, I only just realized "há-de sarar" is in 7/4. That is mastery
Thank you for being you. Reading about your tour in very near future fueled me with such a happy emotions. Sending love from Croatia. ❤
O orgulho português de começares o clip da NPR na nossa língua. Tão bom @MAROMARO❤
First time hearing these artists. GOOSEBUMPS BRILLIANT 👌🎧🤜🤛
I'm in love with this tiny desk concert, and grateful it introduced me to this artist. Most of all, I love "há-de sarar." I love it for the same reason I love a lot of Radiohead's music; there's this vulnerable, wispy, otherworldy beauty to it.
Literally unbelievable.
Wow!!! Que surpresa 😮... Maro e a língua portuguesa na Tiny Desk! ❤ Parabéns!!!
This is beautiful. Shout out Portugal 🇵🇹 for this beautiful music.
Hope to see them in South Africa 🇿🇦 someday soon.
im so in love with these angels 💌☺
Maro, é um genuíno privilégio ouvir as tuas composições. A tua autenticidade é algo fresco e renovador no mundo da música.
Para mim que considero a música a maior criação do Universo, ouvir-te é como uma dádiva. Obrigado
Maro is mesmerizing, no doubt about that! But these two bring guitar playing to another level. What an outstanding performance!
From the 1st to the last note pure brilliance. Love it. MARO once covered together with Jacob Collier Fleet Foxes' "Meadowlark" - so so so great artist.
This can you see me version😭😭😭, absolute perfection !!!
Am I the only one who has it on loop?
Its on repeat all day long, too good!
One of the best things I've heard in my life, have kept coming back to this for 2 months now, it's perfect from start to finish, a true work of art ❤👏👌
Obrigada Tiny Desk e Maro por esse presente maravilhoso em forma de vídeo. Tive o prazer de assistir o show do disco Hortelã no Rio de Janeiro alguns meses atrás e foi um dia que ficará marcado na memória.
também. dia lindo!!
.
Following since Eurovision, but Tiny Desk's is a much more deserved stage for your music!
A unique talented artist full of spirit and love for music👏👏
I met Maro thanks to this Tiny Desk Concert... I've gain a new musical crush, can't stop listening.
there is no other voice on this planet which calms me down like yours Maro, thank you so much for making music (:
As a Portuguese person, I can only say that I've seen her live and she's absolutely amazing (and the best artist from Portugal imo)
she's an angel
I’m here a year later for can you see you! It dose something to my soul ❤
omg loved her for years and she's now on tiny desk!
omg.. i always want to see her in npr!!
