M.I.A. Performs "Y.A.L.A." Live On Conan

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

M.I.A. raised the levels on late night television with a live performance of "Y.A.L.A" (pronounced YOLO?) - a certified banger from her Matangi LP - on Conan. M.I.A. infused the short set with the feel of her full live show, performing in bright red against a backdrop of bright lights and major bass. While M.I.A.'s dancers are noticeably absent from the scene, she does a stellar job of delivering the proper amounts of cool as she runs through the track solo. Check the footage below to watch M.I.A.'s performance of "Y.A.L.A." live on Conan. Purchase the Matangi LP via iTunes.
