Y La Bamba: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@passengerprincesspodcast]

This artist was a big art of the soundtrack of music that coaxed me out of a deep depression. Her sound is synonymous with the feeling of shedding pain and stepping into the light. It sounds like freedom.

[@dancetocalypso]

Absolutely, same.

[@punk1attitude]

Music is magic.

[@conbini324]

Y La Bamba is so underrated.

[@friendship6668]

I've heard of them for forever but this isnthe first time I'm hearing them. Wow. Wish I woulda looked into.them way sooner

[@ricelovepray]

i find myself coming back here ever so often and being completely blown away every time. kudos npr for capturing their sound so well. everybody in the band oozes effortless coolness in how authentic they are in their performance. one of my bucket list bands to see live, i love you y la bamba!!

[@dirtycanvas9711]

[@co0kie2012]

[@casandraayala3242]

Why did they have to cut off the introduction of the band members😭 they all deserve credit and recognition for that magical experience ✨

[@franchescahenry1170]

[@trouserpress]

by far my fav tiny desk

[@docgima]

What an enjoyable ride; this felt opera-matic at times. I wish I was multilingual to understand the intent, but the music and melody of the voice, was enough for a moving experience. Good stuff. 🙏🏻🤙🏼

[@carlosu1021]

Saw them a few nights ago with Durand Jones and the Indications, really tight rhythms.

[@moctezumaaldo9957]

[@Wood_Dubb]

She is GREAT. Thank you NPR.

[@SomeoneCalledDana]

they more than deserved to be featured on tiny desk!

[@friendship6668]

Atmospheric sound. Love it. Wish I woulda looked into them when I lived in Portland (where they're from) when they first came out. Def remember their posters round town.

[@danielalillo2426]

Me gusta esta bandita. Pero por esta vezpara mi el canal se cae un poquito. La cámara me parece poco despierta de donde estar se queda un monton en la pelirroja que estamos claro que es bella pero queremos tb ver los instrumentos y la sinergía del espacio. Quizás esta extraña la distribución en lxs espacios. Naaa detalles sorry es que me sorprendio porque la banda es super y el canal tb.

[@maddalenagrignani]

Why don't you come to Chicago. WHY?

[@danielmorataya9890]

[@jakedeacon7796]

I would like to learn another language to appreciate foreign music more. Ill just settle for now, though

[@PaulMab9]

That's a decent measure of fluency, too.

[@joseespinoza6283]

Das ist eine gute Idea

[@PartyLikeRobots]

music is the best way to practice a language. find the lyrics, translate them and follow along. just like a movie. soon you'll be picking up words and phrases :) good luck!!

[@jennv2030]

It would be cool if they got Omar Apollo on

[@cosmicblooms]

What country are they from?

[@mattgitlin]

USA. Lead singer's parents are from Mexico.

[@mecka421]

From Portland USA

[@matt_halloran]

Is it really hard to get a translation on the screen? I really wish I could understand what they are saying.

[@fireyflower6643]

You can switch on subtitles with youtube, although the translation isnt that good

[@NiiKCuTiiE20]

google the lyrics and get a dictionary, just like everybody else does with music in english and other languages.

[@oneofthetwin]

Y la bamba can you split these songs into its own tracks.
