■ NPR Music’s Tiny Desk released the out-of-studio performance of its 2020 winner Linda Diaz. Atop the Javits Center in New York City, Diaz and her band played a three-song set of the songs “Magic,” “Green Tea Ice Cream” (featured in her winning submission) and “Honesty.”

The singer says, “Winning the Tiny Desk Contest has been a surreal experience for me, not only because it’s a big, big honor, but because it’s all happening in the midst of a global pandemic. Even just shooting my Tiny Desk (home) concert has been a wild ride… we finally had everything set and ready to go. Then, days before the shoot, I tested positive for COVID-19. I will spare you all the details (lots of tears, lots of phone calls), but I am so grateful for my band, the NPR Music team and the Javits Center for going above and beyond for me, the human as much as me, the musician… Through this whole process, it has felt weird to be celebrating, but what has been reiterated time and again is that it is more than OK to be Black and celebrate and mourn and organize and rest and any other number of things. Black joy is radical because it actively opposes defeat. It is necessary.”
