Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido comes to us from his estate in Lagos with an intimate four-song performance that takes us on a mini-retrospective of his career. He and his band create a sultry vibe with a unique rendition of "Gobe," his smash 2013 single, to open the set.
Davido has long expressed pride in his father's success. He titled his 2012 debut album Omo Baba Olowo, meaning "son of a rich man" in the Yoruba language. In his (home) concert, Davido cites his father as his inspiration in a sweet and tender moment: "A Nigerian American like myself that studied in the States...I went to an HBCU, you know... My dad went to one as well and my dad used to work at Burger King. ... To become what he's become today as a Black man starting off in America has been very, very inspiring to me."
In collaboration with the Alternate Sound band, Davido strips back "Aye," a hit from 2014, with an unfettered rendition showcasing his natural voice devoid of any vocal effects. And the result sounds fantastic.
Like all touring artists, the pandemic forced Davido to spend extended time at his home instead of traveling the world. The last year allowed him to re-center himself in his motherland and inspired his 2020 release, A Better Time. Rounding out this Tiny Desk (home) concert, he concludes with "Jowo," a single from the album that of conjures hope for better times ahead.

Hello 👋
This guy always seems so passionate when he sings
This Guy Is Great , His Voice Is One Of A Kind ; Something Uncommon
No Dey deceive yourself 😂🤣🤣

Henry Large which voice Davido get 😂🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
OBO voice >>>>>>
Abi make I tattoo davido for my Kidney 😂🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Bro lol
Then Go ahead 😂😂😂😂
𝙒𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙖 😮
I'm not crying, his old songs just hit different chords in my heart😭😭. The Davido of then felt more heartwarming ❤️❤️. This video really shows people have been hating on his voice for no apparent reason🤦🏽♂️.
Exactlyyyyy!!!
Correct 👌
Coz what else is supposed to be a perfect live performance if not this 💁🏻♂️
Not like he went off the beats or key
People just want excuses to validate their bitterness
I pray they find peace ✌️
@@sophiatravis1489 Amen Sis, Amen🤦🏽♂️.
I didn’t even know people hate on his voice, smh
Would really like to See Sauti sol Perform at the Tiny Desk.
I'm here for Davido love from Liberia 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Did you guys heard him saying Davido “that’s me “”❤️😂
Nah the backup vocalists weren't syncing
Despite both having Beautiful voices! X
Could be the mic controls in the mixer or both of them singing like they want to show off instead of complimenting each other.
It's a sound mixing issue.
@princeamoakwa they were definitely tryna impress
@@george-kagwe how do u know?
🇿🇦 South Africa here to support
Hullo Zintle 🤗🤗🤗 fellow 🇿🇦 here
You gat people already disliking the video before it even dropped
But naah DAVIDO always rises above the hate
I love Davido and all of his music!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
The backers are not communicating
I keep telling people we have good musicians but not a lot of good vocalists
You don't say...
Yeah they are no 'friends' here. Kinda ruined some songs 🤦🏾♀️
Davido still killed it though 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah I thought as much
Exactly, he could use just one either the guy/girl
Man.... Davido’s voice is pure and raw! No offence but he did not need the back up singers at all.
man he cant sing. ya do all this run around talking about his voice is raw this and that. dude cant sing
@@bigazTV pls shut up
@@bigazTV but he tried
The backup vocalist were planted to set Davido up. They are off key most times. Thumbs up Davido
😂😂😂😂 yeah they were having their own concert.
Any Musician that does not know his back up singers is fool.
You must not know anything about music
The backup singers gave me a beautiful thrill made me miss church
They backup saved him actually . Often times they went off tone but he wasn’t really singing the songs , he’s like leading it and then they sing the rest
Davido voice be giving me goosebumps
I love my band, Alternate Sound
His voice is unreplicable
OBO voice is just too unique....and he started with the legendary GOBE that made me fall in love with AFROBEAT

Great to see Davido. I had tickets to see him in Houston but the concert was canceled or postponed due to Covid. I hope he comes back soon.
Thanks❤️
Words can't express how happy I feel, this was so beautiful Davido, happy black Month history ❤️🇳🇬
It was awesome!❤❤

Check out the new album 😊
I can’t unsee him wearing sandals, it’s the sandals for me 😂😂😅... good performance though
😂
Habbbb I was thinking the same no be small matter 😅😅🤣🤣
I thought it was just me oo
I didn't see it. Now I can't unsee it. Thanks.😏🤣
Obviously, people hating on OBO's voice are very dormant musically. Such a wonderful voice...
😂🤣😂
Lol
I Love Davido Omg 😩😍😩 Love From Uganda
His delivery was lovely as well as the instrumentalists
That being said, the vocalists harmonizing in parts were a bit all over the place and off. It was hard to miss as they filled up a bunch of gaps that sounded off pitch and busy. Guess I’m insinuating it would have sounded more intimate if they weren’t singing so much.
I agree with this, the vocalists were a bit off
You gat sense mhen ,correction with intelligence
They honestly just misplaced their voices although they individually have great voices. Just that they overdid whatever it is that they were trying to do. Sometimes its good to pay attention when u singing in order to actually sound good rather than just singing because you can you know? But Davido did exceptionally well🙌🏼🙌🏼and also my favorite african band Alternate sound😍🔥they never disappoint.
I was thinking the same
Just enjoy the music...... 😊😊😊
What a backup who doesn't listen to themselves, a backup who has gotten to this level without knowing you dont have to sing on part at all times.
I’m a Liberian, I’m a big fan of Davido.
I can’t wait to see OBO. Thanks for this great performance.
When it comes to African music DAvido nor mate 🤩🤩
Is voice is one of a kind, as soon as you hear it you know its Davido
Wow davida one love brother man
Congratulations on all of your hits. Love always Patricia ❤😊
The king of Afrobeat in Africa,the 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Here for it tiny desk 🇬🇭
Where is my 30bg fans 😍😍😍😍😍
The backup singers??? They did not have it this go round! Davido you were on point in my opinion. No expert here, but I do know what sounds out of tune
This gives a different perspective about davido, man so good 💯💯💯📌 vocal texture 💯💯💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 he deserves all he has attained
Davido is like small gods in west Africa
We worship him daily here
You worship him.
@@sophiaamuzie2409 and you too

@@zee2674 you too dey serious
You worship him. You alone.
Nobody does it better than the African King DaVido🔥💯✅
I feel like crying 😭😭😹
God this is wonderful
Tell me why I no go stan Davido😍❤️♥️
everyone talking about the vocalist and I can’t really hear the bad vocals but I think the girl would’ve been better by herself. The guy vocalist is ruining it 😭😭😭
Exactly what I thought
Exactly they were great ❤
The guy was the one who has the better voice to back David's own
Hope he will give us Aye!
he diddd
Wow! Great! Congrats from Rio de Janeiro
She said to me ; her favorite artist is Davido ... aye!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best performance so far
Great performance from Davido even though these Backup singers were doing too much.
I swear the back up singers wey over shadowing it no sync
Please say the truth
You talking nonsense, you want to be one of them?
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799 Oga shut up and say the truth
I was hoping someone would say this. The female singer especially sounded like she was coming in late with a shaky voice but they both... 🤦🏾♀️ I kept wishing I could only hear Davido, specifically on Risky. But he did practice with them & apparently thought it sounded good so 🥴
Yesssssss!!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 TINY DESK DONE DID IT AGAINNNNN!!!
His voice is so unique OMG 🔥😍
I felt it all.... Clear road joor.... I think I need a dose of this performance thrice a day to be healthy
now we need Sauti sol on the tiny desk 🤲♥️ such a band a vibe
His vocal is of the heaven
Very good performance, we wanted more though😭😭😭😭
