Thandiswa Mazwai makes Tiny Desk debut
Thandiswa Mazwai is beaming with pride after her debut on NPR Music's Tiny Desk Concerts.
“Tiny Desk was one of those dreams come true for me and my fans. Thank you to globalFEST for hooking us up. The show was shot on a snowy day in DC this January. They usually ask that performances are kept to about 15 to 18 minutes. So we did about five songs, some of them shortened,” she told TshisaLIVE.
“Picking the songs for Tiny Desk was difficult because we have 30 years worth of music and people were asking for Thathisigubhu. It was difficult but I think the songs that stood out the most were Nizalwa Ngobani, Abenguni and Ingoma.”
