July 24, 2019 | Sidney Madden -- Imagine for a moment if Cab Calloway, the Cotton Club's exuberant bandleader, was reincarnated in the 21st Century. Now imagine if he was dropped in the middle of the music world of today. He'd no doubt be a tall and slender, silky-wearing goof ball with a moisturized braid-out, instruments inscribed as knuckle tattoos and a penchant for genre-blending. Yes, the spirit of Cab lives on in Masego, the singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist who surprised NPR's Tiny Desk audience with a zany sense of showmanship and a demonstration of his own genre, TrapHouseJazz.
Masego's five-song set at the Desk wound up feeling something like a jam session - props and surprise guests included. First, before opening with the jazzy "Tadow," Sego pulled off a quick, mini-prank by sending his friend, comedian Lorenzo Cromwell, up to the mic before stepping forth himself. Next, Sego tossed up 100 dollar bills with his face on it and beckoned the crowd into a call-and-response of "hi-di-hi-di-hi-di-ho." Finally, to have a few more moments of fun after "I Do Everything" - and to prove he really does do everything - Sego juggled water bottles to the rhythm of the luscious music his band providing.
Born in Jamaica and raised in Virginia, Masego grew up on gospel, jazz and hip-hop. With an appetite for all genres and an ambidextrous nature for learning music, the 26-year-old's been mixing all his influences up, traveling the world and collaborating with the likes of GoldLink, SiR and Ari Lennox. Where his sound takes him next is anyone's guess, but at the Tiny Desk, the multi-hyphenate found his sweet spot.

"Nayhoo"
"Queen Tings"
"Black Love"

Just Imagine a band with Masego playing the Sax, Thundercat on the Bass, Tom Misch playing the Guitar and Anderson Paak at the drums.
I would so pay for that experience 😍
Real
my god man
kodjo geiger the world ain’t ready boss
FKJ on keys?!
The whole first minute got me thinking: "Wow, Masego really...changed...". 😂😂😂
That's me 🤣💔
saaame;)
ajsjsjs omg same
YO DEADASS
Fax 📠
NPR we need Masego back. He's got some new songs. We'd love to hear him perform them.
Going to watch him perform 4/12/23 in Atlanta! Can’t wait😊😊
I concur. Imagine Maxwell and Melanie back on something like "Mystery Lady".
I just said the same thing. Bring him back now!
Masego really has that charisma. Amazing to watch
i was so confused at the start, because I was convinced that Masego didn't look like that
Was convinced I'd finally fully lost my mind
i thought i was hit with the mandella effect
Same haha
💀💀💀
ikr....I was like. Tiny Desk Rick Rolling people now?? 😂😂
The guy at the beginning is literally me thinking i can play the sax lmao
MirroredSmoke His name is Renny. Check him out on Instagram, he’s hilarious!
When Melanie Faye started that riff oh my 🔥🔥🔥
Melanie Faye, Melanie Faye, Melanie Faye....simply awesome. So glad to see her get her own slot on NPR as well!! Well deserved.
They said her name as I read your comment
i came to the comments just for THIS.
I really love that smile she gave at the end ❤ 19:35
the first guy who opened with the miniature saxophone stole my heart
His name is Renny, he's obviously a comedian as you can tell from the sax.
he is genuinely so attractive i dont know what to do with myself
@@TheCloverKelly ☹🤔
@@TheCloverKelly i agree i've always foound him hot on his comedy sketches
He stole mine too
That dude at the beginning just made my day.
I love him 😂😂
That’s the comedian renny, also featured at the beginning of Old Age
Renny is too funny!
I initially thought: "Damn, Masego's changed!"
Silumko Soko renny😂😂❤️
The fact that tadow was just two gifted artists doing some freestyle messing around and boosted both of their careers . Pretty cool. True artistry. All these songs were great as well
Am I the only one who can’t stop watching the guitarist’s part at the end. She’s amazing! 😍
with the cutest smile at the end 🥰
@@nathanielobame7511 I love her smile 😌
Absolutely slayed that
She killed it
Yes she killed it. Love her smile
Yo, we need FKJ performing live on tiny desk.
Divine Kebab yes, yes we do!!
Seriously
rt
Period!
idk, can they fit the warehouse of instruments he needs?
how dare that pianist just pull out a saxophone and play it so goddamn beautifully people are just unbelievable
Really Goooood!!!!!!!!!!!!
How dare he!! 🤣🤣🤣
No one likes a show off,lol.
🤣🤣🤣"How dare he!"
Wait...I thought he was a guitar player...uhhhhhh....bass...uhhh....drummer?....
....what does he NOT do?
His voice is so refreshing; like a fan in the window blowing remarkably cool air hitting just rite on summer's nite.
the bassist absolutely kills ittttttt wow
i don't know how he smells but i already want to buy the cologne he is wearing
Get me a bottle while u at it
If that isn't already a song you are now stuck with turning it into a song. Don't dilly dally
Sweat denim and coach. Lol
What would a female do with a bottle of cologne?
Us women know he’s packing...you can tell 🤣🤣
I like the low tadows. I asked her (Lex Nelson) to sing it that way. 🤷🏾♂️
well done...cant wait to see you at Afro Punk!
Don't nobody start switching up because Masego likes the low Tadows. KTSE lol.
I❤your music and you!!!! You saved music....I didn't get to see the legendary Prince before his passing BUT I WILL see you perform🙏....keep blessing my ears👑
Yeah mate, nevermind, I didnt know the original "tadow" before watching the tiny desk so first time I heard the tune was with her backing vocal and I liked it straight away. Both versions are good and its cool that they are different.
Everything was excellent. Pleasure to hear your music for the first time. Melanie Fay - whoa!
Three years on, and here I am, awestruck as if it dropped today. Amazing how Masego's stayed true to his craft. King!
ikr
Same
I want the rest of my life to feel like his music 😌
mad respect for that first sax player, he killed it!
Matt Palmer yessir!! Such a experience😂😂😂
🤣
Must have been that glove!
Mad
😂😂😂
This might be the fastest I’ve ever clicked on a tiny desk concert
Mekhi Kelly Yo!!
Saaaame!!
Man, listen! 😩 Hit "like" before it even started to play! 😂😝❤❤🖤🖤
I agree!
same. LOL
Can we just all acknowledge that every smiling and laughing reaction from the bass guy makes this video so much better?
I just found out about Masego..I know, don’t judge.. I can’t stop listening to his music, esp Tadow... it’s exactly what I listen to when I feel down during this pandemic. Thanks Masego! Just when I thought great music was dead.
Don’t feel bad I just now learned about him 🙌🏾
😪😖studying abroad will do u things
I just found out as well! I'm hooked! His whole vibe is awesome! My soul is happy.
I'm like 92% sure you're required to wear shades when you play the sax.
A clinician for my high school jazz band once told one of our saxes to never wear shades again and that "you don't make jazz cool, jazz makes you cool"
Sax player here.
Can confirm.
Yes
And that’s a scientific FACT!
Kenny G didn't 🚫😎
What I expected: "tAEdaooww"
What I got: "tuh-daow..."
Samuel Soyebo MAN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m so mad about it
She has just started singing it and I am here laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bruh ! Why tho !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Heart Way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
sooooo disappointed lol
😂😂😂 Has she never heard the original when they were in the red bull studio? Come on now!😌
Masego is just brilliant! He is a self taught musician… this TrapHouseJazz is everything! 💜
That bass tone 🤩
Melanie Faye on guitar. What a treat. Maybe everyone didn't know her then, but they will.
It’s a Process
I just did know her and she's f* awesome
trying to play chon is not an ez task for sure lol
I love her
She played that riff so fuking humbling. I was cheering her on through my phone like I was in the crowd
Ok.....The Intro..... needs to be acknowledged lol I laughed extremely hard.
😂😂😂 Hilarious
I was confused at first lol
“Put your left pectoral into it!” 🤣🤣
Lmao right
Rena O. Productions LLC the Michael Jackson glove and the fake sax just put me right on out 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Masego means "Blessing" in Setswana , one of our 12 Official languages in South Africa... love it for you ,
*I saw him live yesterday and I am still speechless, probably the best concert I’ve ever been to* 😍🔥
Tiny Desk engineer needs a nice christmas bonus, sound is beautiful
He always kills it, underrated
It's always beautiful mate. Definitely needs a raise.
That boy fire style multi talented come to philly I'm there cant stop playing !! Do your thing homie band fire too !
Crispy clean and still raw. As we like it, i guess.
Except for not having a the kick drum micd
Lol Masejo never needs a hypeman. Dude is hyping himself up the whole time
Young Suit he’s fantastic live for this reason. Sadly I went for Leon bridges and dude was so chill / introverted it was awkward. But masego has so much charm. So good.
We all this type of hype!!! Can it be bottled and sold?
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu for this! Y'all really out here saving lives with music!
That opening was funny asl 😂
they use to laugh at him carrying that saxophone around campus at ODU, now look at my boy
My dude is a legend
He went to old dominion university??!!! A monarch??!!
@@nyxiesmoon2277 yep !
Cooked breakfast for the kids, faded my son, washed 2 cars, painted my back steps, cleaned the garage, cut the grass... I can go non-stop with this genious! Smdh
Wild. It pays to be authentic
No one's going to comment on how clean and neat the drummer's bantu knots are?!?! I want to see the results.
We got you, Sis! Yes, they're on point.
theyre amazing his whole style
I'm offended that this comment didn't get more likes.
He got "Hair Hair today"😅😅
ahhh needed that...my music life was becoming dull this definitely added color to my music life again...thanks for sharing good music
Imagine being an amazing musician and having to deal with this guys arrogance and attitude talking down on you throughout such a beautiful performance. His ego and attitude dims the light of his performance and the talented artists that allow him to sound so special.
thats what i noticed as well. the way he calls everyone “you”. actually pretty disrespectful in some countries
He's a definitely a live artist. Most of these songs actually sound better than the recordings which is rare.
Totally agree
Ko
@@adekyethepoet8519, just
I loved big krits tiny desk concert but kinda hate his recorded stuff.
not rare enogh. same sht with Paak. but i blame producers and studio engeneers
Bruh... I was like "tf Renny bout to do" lol
And he killed it
Lol
This is one of the most enjoyable things I have ever watched. I can't listen to it enough. It makes my whole soul feel good fr.They all did there thing and before this I never knew he existed, instant favorite.
2 years later I still dig this set. Bruh is a true band leader. The guitarists is sick nice!!!
Thumbs up for Melania Faye😭❤️
Damn I thought it was her ,,brill
Sally niaje ukona likes😂😂
Elle Mandela 😂😂😂😂
Let your girl shine😂👀
dope
Melanie's astounding 👌🔥
Melanie Faye on guitar. That's the comment. That's it.
She’s come so far!!! I’m so proud of her
She is amazing!
shes crazy good
ICONIQUEEE
That crazy little trill she did at 9:32 was amazing. These people are babes but on par with the greats like Coltrane. I mean that.
I've been looking for this dude ever since seeing him perform on some award show. Masego and his band are a whole mood. Watched this with my family for music appreciation night tonight. (We made that up) 🙂
I love how they're feeling it and so in thwir element! truly wonderful performance, kudos!
I was like uhhhh this AINT MASEGO lolllll sooo funny.
I love how Masego always looks so happy when he sings
I cannot stop watching this. Thank you for helping me fall in love with music again.
We need another Tiny Desk concert...... can't get enough of MASEGO
Melanie Faye on guitar? I'm glad she's getting some recognition😊 abt time
Yeah man that's too dope! She's a great guitarist to check out on youtube
Really did not expect to see her but i was so happy when i did
Literally came to the comments for this. Truly deserved.
@@cornela1 Royal Jordanian pain Boxing
ndiabrady 1 she’s fire o
FYI: "Tadow" was an improvisational collab between FKJ and Masego, recorded live. "Nayhoo" is a song written by the band CHON, one of the most amazing progressive rock bands around, featuring Masego. They deserve credit!
Started digging into Chon after reading this. They are great! Cheers
yes. CHON definitely deserved credit because it was on their album. He should have even said it was a cover
there should be chon on tiny desk aa
When I heard Nayhoo I fucking shat myself.
@@ksarom definitely! check out their Paste Studios sessions if you haven't already
Totally one of the best performances. So energetic and so smooth by every single musician! Thank you so much for this magical concert!
“I do everything” is the best thing here. I found myself humming the tune today and initially i couldn’t place the song or tune. I’m here now. Love Masego. Talented.
Masego is definitely talented. I think he hasn’t even come close to his full potential.
He's got a long way to go before he can get to Al Jarreau level. My gut tells me that he has a VERY long way to go. Masego's talented in an amateurish way. Here's an older concert footage of Al in action from the 70's. krplus.net/bidio/mMypaZaFpI_SYZQ
Go check out Al's first album he released back in 1975, he was already master level. Masego ain't a master, not even close to one.
@@Oneness100 I prefer Masego more honestly. Singing/scatting fast doesn't mean you're more talented. Why can't you just enjoy Masego for who he is instead of trying to compare him to someone else?
Aashiq Shaikh exactly. Not many artists have impressed me as much as masego. He’s his own man no need to compare and he’s amazing
@@ashastra123 yeah that's facts. i got to see him live earlier this year and he's crazy talented, very impressive
Seth Alles I’m seeing him live at outside lands in August, I literally can’t wait lol I watch live performances of him every day just to keep myself from going crazy
That was the by far the sexiest tiny desk concert
Agreed! 😏
He is so sexy
Nah
SOMEONE HASNT SEEN LIZZO
@@russellzauner where is her tiny desk concert? I saw on her ig that she filmed one but I haven't seen it on youtube
I just saw their live show for the first time. They played and sang so smooth and beautiful like the audio sound
He got such a GOOD VIBES ! I love him !
At first I was like “get this bootleg masego outta here” but then I realized it was skit lmao
That's RENNY! Check out his youtube, he's something comedic-ally special.
krplus.net/C-mMOYc5bAw0RJjKXeMhPww
Shut up
@@xaviersivetrivet8781 damn his voice was not bad
@@xaviersivetrivet8781 I was finna say.. Aint that Renny? LMAOOOOOOOO wth he doing on Tiny Desk
FINALLY!
Seeing Renny playing a toy sax made bust out in a sad laughter.. (Uh hah haah...)
I thought Tiny Desk had played me...
Samuel Soyebo same !! I was sad and happy all at the same time 😂😭
Forreal!! Haha I clicked so fast and I was about to be so disappointed 😂😂
Amazing 💎🆙💪🏾🔥🧲♾️🎶🌈💜💜☺️this group 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. The first time I heard "Tadow" I became hooked! Such unique talent completely different from the rest you guys are doing your work. Thank you for beautiful music 🎶💞🎶
love the energy

Those who place timestamps are always the winners. Proverbs 1:13

Your a fuckin king 🌠🌠
Technically the intro is the instrumental to Tadow
MVP !!!!
i think Masego & Lucky Daye could make some interesting music....
Okay, this. I’m so glad to see others are fans of Lucky Daye. I often feel like I’m jamming by myself.
Didn’t know I needed this until now
drea Roses yassssss, I would love to hear them together
Yes!! I'd be sooooo here for this!
YESSSS!!!!
anyone else just close their eyes and truly listen. this is art. Masego really has that charisma. Amazing to watch.
Masego is a literal genius. Resonates with my soul like nothing ive heard before. WE LOVE YOU MASEGO
Finallyyyyyyyy, now all i need is one for Smino and I’ll be content 🙌🏾🔥
Exactly!
FAAACTS
My man knows what's up!!
absolut
So glad they don't use autotune & gimmicks like today's artist..just raw natural talent. ✌
Melanie Faye has this subtle demeanor about her and its projected in her playing. Just Spectacular!
I think she is a natural introvert. That's cool. Ain't nothing wrong with that at all. I would like to have a chat with her about....whatever she likes in life :)
Amanda Basson I totally agree
Love the smile in the end
@@theinfamouspokeinrichmondc3543It would be a conversation out of this world.lol
So beautiful from start to finish, what a band, amazing!
His talent is definitely one of a kind. 🎶🎶🎶
I’m a simple man. i see masego, i clicked.
Brother 🙌🏾
I'm of that kind
Guess I am a simple woman...
Simplicity
nothing to debate!
FINALLY!!! NPR been sleeping on Masego for the longest 🔥
How you know? 🤷🏾♂️
[game over] now we need the Smino tiny desk
Right!! Bout damn time. I'm grateful lol
Orange 13 Y E S I’m ready
NiAmbiTheMelody I don’t know why they haven’t released it yet. It’s been damn near a year since they filmed it
That guitar riff at 9:31 is ❤🔥
Totally insane man !!
Couldn’t be more thankful for Masego and what he produces. Heaven sent. Restored my love for R&B and Jazz. Playing most of these at our vow renewal next month ❤️
Man, I wished the one singing 'Tadow' would do that high pitched airy Tadow. Still a good set tho!
I was thinking the same thing lol
Fabio Delacroix I was so confused
I was thinking the SAME THING
if she could do a better job 🙈
I preferred her version of it, maybe cause I've listened to the original so much and it drove me mad lol
Who else listens to tiny desk concert hoping they’ll find new artists?
Dats wat I being doing found couple good ones already , got dem on repeat
Yessss. And typically new favorite artists 👏👏
And I’m never disappointed
watch the colors show too, both of them helped me find new artists a couple years ago and majority i still listen to in depth to this day!
It's the gift that keeps on giving
Such a beautiful collection of talented musicians. NPR, you magnificent procurer of musical treats. Thank you!
Everyone’s talking about that girl on guitar, she’s a beast but can we talk about this bass player
One word, CHON
SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT
Exactly, he's incredible from start to end.
YES.
yesssssssssssss that bass player was my favourite, he killed ittt
How about Melanie Faye's guitar playing....wow !!!
Glenn Kwok she’s phenomenal
she killed it
Yes Gawd!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Absolutely killer.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just got introduced to this artist yesterday and was so impressed, I had to check this out. Nice to see someone so young doing music with soul and depth. He just gained a new fan. 😎
I’m 46, from 757, just found this video, been listening to this kid for couple of years…. Heard him from my 20 y/o daughter…. We share the same music taste, my clone! I’m loving how I could tell by the way he talked he was from 757. ❤️❤️❤️
Masego's band is on point, ESPECIALLY the guitar player, she's playing things I didn't even know I needed in my life
Melanie Faye check her out
Melanie Faye is a guitar prodigy
Check out Chon if you like this. They wrote the original of Nayhoo with Masego
If you like that check out Tom misch
@@openyourmind333 My immediate response, i thought of Tom Misch when i first heard her guitar licks
I am 100% in love with Masego's smile.
Right! I just kept finding myself staring at his mouth lol
Me too!! It is beautiful!
Masego left a comment on here
... Saying he loves it, asked her to do it that way. 🤷
Girl, same
@Tito Grass 😂😂😂😂
When Dan came in late with the sax and still killed it on rhythm. Straight talent and art by this whole band. Melanie is a str8 beast !! One of my favorite npr performances
Melanie Faye's solo still sounds as sweet as when I first heard it 😍
You know you're fly when you can wear floral dungarees, a flower silk shirt with sunglasses on whilst playing the sax and singing at the same time. 🙏🏾 all hail the man Masego 👊🏾
When they went back & forth w the saxophone , my soul almost took off
Yes Lawd!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 (In my Anderson.Paak voice lol 🤣)
I don't how many times I already played this song! It was just AMAZING. Tks, Masego and Tiny Desk for this performance! I loved your show in Brazil on september 2023 🤎
These guys are so chill and peaceful 🦦
That like sax back and forth at 11:00 was freaking gorgeous
Oh it was so beautiful ❤️
Lawd!!! 😍😍😍
Yo when they did the unison line I freaked
Adam Frary straight eargasm lmao
Masego will take your girl and u will be like yea that's fair enough tbh. What a G!
ahahah i have to agree with you!
I have to agree too. Doesnt matter how hard it would be.
Greetings from germany
The Melodies in the intro of that 1st song so Heavenly. 🐐
What a soulful performance. Beautiful!
Well, now you HAVE to get Jordan Rakei here.
I can't wait for that to happen!!!
ABSOLUTELY 👏🏽
PLEASE
Make it happen Npr.
YES YES YES!!!
Can we just talk about Melanie Faye, for a minute? She really plays with such interesting tone and style. I ain't slept on you, Ms Faye! I see you!
OMG, I didn't even notice. Thanks soo much for pointing her out. Love her soo much
Love her!!
She’s So Badass!!!
Amazing how can she keep a calm face and pull out that good shit
I know right she doesn't get the recognition she deserves. I really do love her
He is like that in concert!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
So beautiful, hard to believe this is my first time seeing this one. Much love. 🙏🏻
