*Upcoming, worldwide livestream 🌎🎥 Sunday, August 22, 2021:* *www.bluenotelive.com/eventsold/taimane* Professional, live-in-the-moment broadcast (not pre-recorded) from Blue Note Hawaii (great venue). Pro audio and multiple, pro cameras. No upcoming shows outside of Hawaii until sometime in 2022. Happy to be able to share a live concert with everyone via this pro broadcast from my hometown, Waikiki. Special place, it's where my career began and still one of my favorite places to perform.

[@changzed9853]

Love you Taimane❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@littlelemon3465]

Woahh awesome!

[@SonicSeraphim]

You know you've mastered an instrument when you can dance around and focus on the performance instead of focusing on the chords. She is the UKE GODDESS

[@connorthomas4826]

That's the way performing is, you let your instinct take over and you just have fun.

[@jjd4943]

Yes. She is a master player. You are correct. She is dancing and playing at the same time, but she's still playing perfectly. Love her performance. She can make money easy with her performance around the world

[@solino2002andrea]

She's stunning in what seems to be her natural environment: she plays, she dances a kind of classical, tango, flamenco and Hawaiian mixed together and she looks at audience as she's inviting you to make love. I think she's a complete artist.

Hey, Andrea. I lived in your city for a year. It's stunningly beautiful. Nice comment, btw, yep, this chick is a genious.

Hi NeverBroken , thank you, I also think it's a wonderful and magical city. Btw, she's fantastic and ... reading other replies (not your one) I need to specify I OBVIOUSLY did NOT mean to liken her to kind of an "easy costumes" girl , I just said that in my opinion she is very seductive in her dancing and her deep glance synergy. ... as a belly dancer, for example . It was a sincere compliment, not an insult.

 Aprenda a pronunciar For those who do not know, this song (Tico Tico no Fubá) is an old Brazilian instrumental of the genre (choro) composed by Zequinha de Abreu, and the name TicoTico is a Brazilian bird, and (Fubá) is ground corn flour . The song was composed honoring the birds that liked to eat the remains of corn in the old barns.
