- 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.

Mm. Couldn’t find the first song on Apple Music nor Spotify :(. First time hearing this & im in tune with it
@@ShamannShake It's a traditional griot song. She may not have recorded it previously.
Is there a reason for the discrepancy with the set list?
J’adooooore quel talent mon homonyme.
Vive Rokia la diva malienne. Une de mes artistes préférés. Vive le Maliba. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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💙💙💙
She's singing about God , kind and the world
Girl! Lol!!! Yes!! When I listen to her playlist while sleep, have motivation to get up and deal with the world! She gives life in her music!
@@rugiatusuma3964 thank you for this.
🌬️🤣🌾💙😇🦴
Malian music is close to my heart
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 !!
Pour la TEAM : QUI EXPRIME LA 🕊️ GLOIRE DU COEUR DU SEIGNEUR ↗️🙏
Traditional music is on another level. It heals soul, it touches souls with instruments and frequencies.Muchas bendiciones 🙏🏾
Just found her. I’m fasting for 80 days and she’s helped me mediate pray and fast at the same time. Healing music.
I used to hear a Malian musician most evenings getting off the A train it was so true, makes me want to cry.
Mandingo music .... just simply good .
Seen her perform a few years ago in Scotland, loved her then still love her now.
One of the best singers in the world.
Her voice is mesmerizing.
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.
We always expect great and spiritual vibrations when Rokia stay present on stage!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Trespassing our souls like a fluid river...
She is SO elegant
Spiritual and profound music of the wonderful Africa, which fills my soul.
Rokia wow 😳 what a talent!
Wonderfull,soul music,thank you.i know your music from many years ago,found you again,love light and peace.
I don’t know what she’s saying but I can’t stop listening. It’s beautiful ❤️❤️
amazing, discovered it on apple music❤
For those who don't know she makes both traditional and contemporary music and is a phenomenal guitar player. One of my favourite African musicians.
wow that last song is a bit mesmerizing. great groove between all the musicians.
Allways reminds me of those early morning acts on the womad stage at Glastonbury. When it was a proper festival
Just wanted to comment here to proudly share that I've been sober for 490 days.
Alcohol or...?
that's awesome
Congratulations that’s awesome
Let’s go for a drink to celebrate 🥃
That's lethal man.. Trudging the road of happy destiny
A great musician. Hope you will be recognize for all your effort you're doing for our country.

Rokia ,emoción y belleza musical que traspasa con un flechazo el corazón, gracias
i love her voice and music
The Malian tiny desk has wonderful pictures adorning it.
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
Beautiful woman with beautiful voice. Impressive!
Beautiful healing music, Rokia Traore
magnifique! Merci beaucoup à Rokia et aux musiciens!
Thank you tiny desk for sharing this beautiful song from Africa a beautiful voice en very good musicians many thanks you muchissimas gracias
Southern Africa here 🇿🇼
Hermosa música y la voz bellísima!
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.
Just discovered you on Stingray world music. Stunning. Lovely.❤
Yeeeeesssss such a beautiful, pure, voice!
I don't know what this is about but it immediately made me cry (in a good way); beautiful, thank you
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"..
Good point - it's actually the partial credits from Elisapie's equally amazing Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST set. We'll make sure to update.
God she's beautiful and regal.
Sending love & axé from Florida 💚💛

Do you know whose picture is there on the desk next to the guitar?
are you sure, that the musicians mentioned in the video description are the right ones?
^
Nope lol

What is the guitar-like string instrument that the person on the far left is playing? It's beautiful.
Its a Djeli Ngoni a type of ancient African lute instrument. It goes by many names across West Africa and Sahara I.e Xalam, Konting, Guembri, Tidnit etc.
@@user-vw6bk4pb4l Thank you very much! Appreciate the information.
Manden Fakoly 10:51
The name of the musicians is wrong! :(
It sounds like she’s just making up words. I’m so s.m.r.t.🤪
She's singing in Bambara, her mother tongue.
