NPR started a series of "Tiny Desk Concerts", which are actually short VIDEOS they record when artists are in their studios for on-air interviews. They offer these intimate performances on their website and in podcast form. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to embed the videos here; please click on one of these great performers to see them live.
Rhythm & blues and gospel singer Mavis Staples
Reggae artist Jimmy Cliff
Soul music steeped in African-American gospel from The Holmes Brothers
Cuban singer Omara Portuondo
