A live concert filmed on January 27, 2020 for NPR Music’s Tiny Desk in Washington, this capture presents Koffee, the Jamaican reggae and dancehall prodigy, a few days after her historic win at the Grammy Awards. With her EP Rapture, the artist — then nineteen — became the youngest winner and the first woman honored in the Best Reggae Album category. Backed by her band, she performs four songs live: Raggamuffin, Rapture, Toast and W. Her music, rooted in faith, resilience and gratitude, blends roots riddims, dancehall energy and pop freshness, carried by a confident flow and a sunlit presence. The Tiny Desk’s intimate, audience-free and unadorned format highlights the singer’s precocious maturity and natural charisma. A reference reggae concert, to watch online, to discover one of the most promising voices of the new Jamaican scene at the turn of the 2020s. Filmed in Washington, this full Tiny Desk performance can be watched online in its entirety.
