Amaia Performs with a Chair Flute in New Tiny Desk Concert

"Amaia provided renditions of six songs for her Tiny Desk set: "C'est La Vie," "Nanai," "Zorongo," "Auxiliar," "Giratutto," and "Yamaguchi." She busted out the chair flute in between "C'est La Vie" and "Nanai," performing a dazzling intro and continuing to play it during the latter song."

"For much of the set, however, Amaia remained seated at the piano, providing crystal-clear vocals and imbuing palpable emotion into her songs."

"Amaia released her third album, Si Abro los Ojos No Es Real, in 2025. She has a few international dates to come in her native Spain this year."

"Will she bring out the chair flute for those shows? We sure hope so."
