Troker: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@jtollefson1973]

This band merits about a million more views...que incredible banda...dale

[@gabrielenriquesantillanesj7348]

Wooow, que cantante y que banda tan organica. Y yo que siempre los veo acá. Que orgullo ahora verlos alla. Ahi!!!

[@alondriposadas4057]

Que gran banda es Troker, me vengo enterando que tienen un Tiny Desk

[@nunezkant]

Best Mexican band, by far.

[@marl310381]

The band is from Guadalajara not from Mexico City. This a very well known jazz band here locally. If you enjoy Troker, another good band is "San Juan Project". Cheers from Guadalajara!

[@jrosiles]

he young lions of Troker hail from Guadalajara, in the north of the country, but call CDMX their home now. From that home base they are making the rounds of festivals, clubs and concerts around the world, gathering fans of their smart, creative and singular brand of jazz. As you'll see on this Tiny Desk, this is music you can dance to. In fact, when I saw them slay a post-midnight crowd at this year's SXSW, trumpeter Isaias Flores was a dancing machine, twisting and grooving to the band's mix of swing, funk, ska, psychedelic and Mexican music. The band's compositions are journeys - as you watch them live, keep in mind that you are indeed witnessing history being made. Hopefully, Troker and others can make CDMX a jazz destination.

marco rivera san Juan project también rifa

[@piratafrustrado]

marco rivera weren't them from zapopan jalisco? anyway they are great

[@marl310381]

Don't have that info, could be. Just to clarify, here in the local verbiage normally we use Guadalajara to make a reference of all the metropolitan urban zone conformed currently by 5 municipalities (districts), which one of them is Zapopan. Also check the above response from @julio rosiles

[@Luism-tz2ey]

i love san juan project dude

[@iamhistorygeek]

Man this epic! Jazz and mechanical sound (synth and turntable effects). Ground breaking to me. I've never heard anything like this before. Great job gentleman.

[@barbaratramontini468]

Dio la casualidad de que justo un año después de que se realizó este tiny concert, lo estoy escuchando. Espero verlos pronto, son toda una joyita mexicana ♥

[@jorgegalvan2297]

saw them live in Mexico City, they play a non-stop jazz fusion with awesome beats! An amazing band to see live!

[@PeachFlavoredKaiju]

Jorge Galvan luckily

[@philosophia3561]

FUNKIN GROOVIN!!! Chapala blues, listened to that song 3 times in a row.. loving it. Would love to see live, keep up the great work.

[@iwantrevengex]

Orgullo Nacional! Los vi hace muchos años en Querétaro y verlos acá en este canal es un paso enorme. Felicidades!

[@AntilopeDisecado]

I really dig this. Many new bands from Mexico (i.e. Klezmerson, Los Dorados) have this way of getting many genres and influences together in their music in a very organic way. Awesome stuff.

[@TrokerOfficial]

[@dinodiego1]

This is what happens when you blend individual creativity and put it together in a very creative way! Excelente muchachos, el Nuevo talento Mexicano,

[@TrokerOfficial]

Gracias carnal!

[@Jessica-kv2ob]

Que grata sorpresa ver talento mexicano en NPR 💖!

[@lebogangpanyane2576]

I'm going to the Cape Town Jazz festival for 1st time next year. I really hope they invite this band

[@terribletimmy3508]

If Frank Zappa and the Mars Volta made babies and were all from Gudalajara, this would be their kids.

[@TrokerOfficial]

hahahaha what an amazing thing to say, thanks!

[@saragarro4628]

Adoro regresar a esta sesión cada vez que puedo. Los amo, Troker! Orgullo! ❤️🙌🏼

[@PorfiRioAlmazan]

Yessssssssss TROKER !!!!!! No sabía para nada que habian hecho una Session Tiny !!!!! Muy Bueno !!!!! CHINGONSÍSIMO !!!!!

[@migdel]

The experimentation at the beginning was wonderful: DJ and trumpet was wow! Chapala Blues was pretty standard. Solange was magnificent. Tequila Death was fantastic and brought it all back to the spontaneous burst of the wonderful beginning. Great Troker! nothing else to say. Too bad it ended so abruptly.

[@TrokerOfficial]

[@christianmartin7047]

Such a happiness to see a Mexican Band showing their talent outside this country. this sounds cabron¡¡¡

[@jonnaprog7]

Viva México y su talento menospreciado por la mayoría. Grandes músicos sin duda.

[@Mictlan.x]

Easily, my favorite Mexican band. And TRUST ME, they were playing at a 50% level here, because they had to keep it down for the TDC. Seeing them live, is one of the best music experiences I've ever had. It's a must see/listen! ¡Viva México y viva Troker!

[@TrokerOfficial]

¡Viva México y gracias Mictlán! Abrazo de toda la banda.

[@Aukan96]

De las pocas bandas que me gustaría ir a un concierto más de una vez lo más pronto posible

[@AshokSingh-bc1zl]

This would have been one of the biggest acts in the 70s. We live in a terrible time. Nevermind loved it.

[@daniellemedina4888]

everyone is so good but that trumpet player's playing gives me goosebumps!

[@TrokerOfficial]

In Mexico we say: es chiquito pero picoso! (he's small but spicy!) :D

[@antraxic]

Troker en el Tiny Desk!!! No puedo fangirlear mas, caray. Que gusto! Otra cosa mas añadida a la lista "La primera banda tapatia en..."

[@MsStaceysclass]

Oh my god these guys are so rad! I'm so excited they're coming to New Haven for the International Arts & Ideas Festival or whatever it's called

[@BTBSteve]

Cool stuff really like the singer's voice
