Amaia： Tiny Desk Concert | April 23, 2026

Anamaria Sayre | April 23, 2026 Spanish singer Amaia Romero(Amaia) is walking contradiction. She&a multi-instrumentalist, easily traipsing between piano, chair flute and — not featured in this Tiny Desk performance — her signature harp. But all of this hardly compares to a voice that dances between ferocity and softness. The opener here, "C&La Vie," jumps from charged piano to luxuriant strings — a perfect embodiment of her musical duality. "Zorongo," a mashup of canon classics "Zorongo Gitano" and "Rumores de la Caleta," lets loose the tremor of flamenco. Her set leaves Spain for a moment with the bachata-fueled "Auxiliar." Last year&Si Abro los Ojos No Es Real aimed to incorporate more global Latin elements and experimental production; this Tiny Desk version of "Giratutto" presents that edgier side of her sweetness. Back at the piano, Amaia closes with a tribute to a park in her hometown. It&a tender reminder that, even as she plays with her sound, that she will always return to Pamplona.
