There is a PBS Hawaii interview with her up on KZbin, and they talk a bit about her stage presence. She started out playing on the street, and she credits that with giving her such a strong stage presence. She says she stares people down a lot while playing, because that's part of how she would draw in when she had to compete with the sound of cars driving by and whatnot.

Her opening song is the _Habanera_ ("L' amour est un oiseau rebelle") from George Bizet's comic opera, "Carmen". Taimane said in an interview, later, that the Tiny Desk people asked her to change her prepared set because they wanted an all-acoustic performance. She had prepared to use some pedals with her ukulele, but she was able to completely change the set on the fly. And, this is the result. Not bad. No? Yes.

Why did the cameraman cut away when Taimane does the hand movements near the end and shows the other singer. Also cut her hands out of the frame when she was playing the most intensely on the ukelele. Why? Those seemed so fascinating visually.
