NPR Music & Concerts

  • Rubio's electronic-pop music is full of ambient sound, but at the Tiny Desk, her flow is reborn. In these sweeping arrangements, she casts a new spell.
  • Four singers, four boleros. Angélica Garcia, Mireya Ramos, Trish Toledo and iLe each offer something distinct in these songs written and performed by Adrian Quesada.
  • The Puerto Rican band blends bomba, plena and salsa into its sound, trading ocean blues and sunset pinks for playful jazz breaks and tasteful synthesizer effects.
  • Carlos Vives carries the mantle of Colombia's vallenato tradition. Now 30 years after his landmark recording, he revisits songs from La Tierra del Olvido with a 12-piece band.
  • At the Tiny Desk, the Brazilian artist presents a searching set of orações that serve as meditations, no matter your spiritual journey.
  • What an honor to host Fito Páez, one of the pioneers of Argentine rock, at the Tiny Desk for the start of Latin Music Month.
  • Yes, the first-ever stage dive at the Tiny Desk occurs during Turnstile's set, but not before a wild reimagination of the hardcore band's wide-ranging sound.
  • Featuring brand new songs from the album Play, plus an old favorite, watch Sheeran build the instrumental elements in real time with guitar, keyboard and a looping station.
  • From his deep baritone chest to wonderfully fluttering head voice, Michael Mayo joyfully bends notes to his will.
  • For the chronically online, PinkPantheress has become a soundtrack, vision board and guide. Backed by a band (and sans autotune), the pop star swaps out glitched-out samples for guitar riffs and softer, jazzier moments.
