Despite the initial confusion, Mazwai’s fans soon caught on to her jest.

Her unique blend of traditional African music, jazz, and soul is expected to resonate beautifully in the cosy confines of NPR’s office.
The Tiny Desk concert series, for those unfamiliar, is a brainchild of NPR Music. It started as a casual experiment in 2008 but has since grown into a cultural phenomenon.
These concerts are known for their raw, unfiltered performances, where artists are stripped of the grandiose elements of stage shows, bringing their music back to its purest form.
Legendary names and rising stars alike have graced this ‘tiny desk,’ turning the ordinary office setting into a melting pot of musical genius. From jazz legends to indie rockers, the Tiny Desk has seen an eclectic mix of styles and artists, each bringing their unique flavour to the desk.
