Grande Cuco! It's amazing seeing how far he's gotten since his "Lover is a Day" days. Verdadero talento.

[@djelmoreno]

😅😮

[@hurlulluby.v]

Nah fr im glad i sticked with him for so long😭🙏

[@SK23.]

I mean I liked lover is a day

[@gerardoguevara98]

Lover is a day is hands down my all time favorite song its too good like i love what hes done since but i still feel lover is a day is the best things hes written

[@daoyang223]

Lover is a day is still mi favorita. But his newer salsa groove fused chill hop stuff is still sick

[@mmtryagain3512]

I love getting to watch cuco become a whole different human. Glad I’ve been here to see him change in a positive way

[@potpoindexter5076]

He is definitely underrated but true fans been here since the beginning 💯💯

[@ximenaechavarria2297]

wish “Lover is a Day” was there, still this tiny desk was flawless

[@ReyNico]

Think he wanted to do some songs he hasn't done in some of these other sessions, he did lover is a day on audiotree and one other one I believe

I see what you did there

[@luisdariodavilamartinez5538]

My dude on the guitar was hitting those notes, man on a mission.

[@dulce3841]

if there’s one concert you should go to in your life, it definitely should be his. the vibe and aura from not only him and his band, but from the fans, is a true once in a lifetime experience :’)

[@ErnestLemmingway]

LOL he's decent nothing amazing

[@superfruitpunchprod]

@@ErnestLemmingwaysaw him back in 2022, as a musician he’s average but as a performer he’s amazing. He knows how to draw energy from the crowd and has the best vibes at his concerts. Best one i’ve been to and i’ve been to a couple of concerts

[@Wiik117]

He estado siguiendo la trayectoría de Cuco por más de 5 años. Y es increíble lo mucho que ha crecido musicalmente en tan poco tiempo! Una de las mas grandes mentes en la musica en estos tiempos, sus letras y sentimiento en sus canciones están en otro nivel. Grande Cuco!

[@falseinfo5734]

i learned to enjoy this version of cuco but i do miss the other version of him

[@rya6779]

This version's better bc it has a healthy sober cuco

[@error_4004]

I prefer this version. Sober, water drinking Cuco is pretty dope.

Same

[@XOTheHosttt]

@@error_4004 didn't knew about this, but makes kind of sense. The music display here feels like a hug, very peaceful. The Cuco I first heard was depressing asf.

Cuco is so underrated! Just peaceful and smooth melody ❤ Shout out from Phoenix AZ

[@wjeurs]

What a vibe. Never heard of this dude but I hope his album stuff is as chill as this session, if not I'll just keep listening to this while cleaning cooking and doing dishes...😊

[@myfriendscallmebob9834]

What were your thoughts when you listened to his other music?

[@andrewgarcia8349]

how far this man has come, this is like listening to dark side of the moon for the first time again, from the simplicity of his songs like CR-V to this amazing dynamically filled intro with amazing modulation on the guitar and riffs man this hands down is one of the best Tiny desk performances fr, up there with tylers and macs

[@Jeece2020]

I went to his concert last night and it was amazing shi ever and that was my first concert I’ve ever went ^^!!! Love you Cuco your the best man ^^!!!

[@adamkowalczyk7429]

It’s got similar chord structure to “great gig in the sky” of the dark side of the moon album

Just now hearing Cusco 1st time, holy smackeroos this band hits the chill spot. Love love love. New listener and fan. They’re so young too which is even more exciting to think great music for a long time to come, God willing. I hear the Pink Floyd resemblance at first song. Thank you Tiny D.
