Yva Las Vegass: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@washobubulina]

esa manera de tocar el cuatro tiene que ser patrimonio nacional... mis respetos

[@tonigreen9940]

Almost immediately started crying. So much powerful depth. She sings with her ancestors.

[@UncleYva]

Thank you or getting it. Yva

[@kitacorrentin]

No sabía que el Joropunk existía... pero existe y es hermoso.

[@Daphnegirl93]

I love the description for this video. "I'm constantly in search of music I haven't heard, but which sounds as if it's been in my life forever." Just - yes. Please, keep sharing these wonderful discoveries with us.

[@gflorezm]

Me dejaste en la orilla sin canoa y sin remo Tremenda Yva, orgullo del cuatro venezolano.

[@isabelnieves8427]

+Guillermo Flórez Montero Escuchar a yva y encontrarte, qué cosas.

[@gflorezm]

Jajaja no era obvio Isabel Nieves​

[@Konukoyarte]

Excelente!!! me encanta Yva...rompiendo paradigmas con nuestra hermosa y rebelde música popular de la mano con su estilo y forma de hacer la vida. Pa lánte, viva nuestra música venezolana.

[@andreaausmunchen6247]

Very beautiful and honest coming from deep within. Hats off to Yva Las Vegass for her bravery and talent and beautiful voice.

[@pepmanpepe]

So good to be spanish and understand the poetry within her energic music, like her a lot

[@DreamComeUnity]

Como extraño escuchar a Yva Las Vegass en vivo! Absolutely adore their music. Such passion. Hearing Yva Las Vegass live is an experience I will never forget. I remember hearing her once in Seattle outside of a Los Amigos Invisibles concert. I was consumed by their sound. Had the outside concert not stopped, I may have not gone in to watch Los Amigos play. You never knew (or I didn’t anyways)when Yva was playing and that was part of the fun. There was this warmth about her that made me feel closer to home. Her sound, an open flame. I don’t live in Seattle anymore but Seattle is also not the city we left. I miss Yva Las Vegass dearly

[@MothersPills]

Love it! I can feel her touch, passion and conviction in these songs. Even though I couldn't understand one word! The first was better than the second, but she's good!

[@diegorada9925]

Viva la Yva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! años tarareando "cantos de pilon" (del disco de Sweet 75), hoy le muestro la cancion a mi compañera y me sale la recomendacion del tiny desk. va a ser un dia hermoso.

[@The_Gil]

Extraordinaria con gran sentimiento!!!!! Que orgullo siento Yva, que orgullo.

[@UncleYva]

Hello!

[@Joysber]

Lloré con el Polo... Gracias

[@methedrineradio6858]

Amazing Yva....fell in love with her voice and playing style since that criminally underrated Sweet 75 album with Novoselic.

[@carlosesquer7117]

El sonido único del cuatro venezolano. Qué potencia. Gracias

[@AndreaHernandez-pw3sb]

Maravillosa! No me canso de escucharla ! Bravo Yva!

Poderosa voz.

[@hernanm6]

INCREDIBLE!!!! ..."mariposas... que vuelan en el cielooo..."

[@MGVcunaguaro3839]

Nunca había escuchado al cuatro venezolano sonar tan salvaje y punk, esto debe ser recordado por siempre

[@peacelovepot4L]

She is absolutely amazing

[@evelynlll477]

[@twiggyzappa]

[@CalicoCupcakes]

This is very cool. Good find!

[@pablodektown]

she is mesmerizing

[@KServeux]

Powerful voice!

[@Gggly2513]

Does anyone have the lyrics to all her songs? My Spanish isn’t good enough to recognize all the words while singing but I want to be able to read the lyrics and translate them

[@pgmap]

Que dura esta mujer. Genial!

[@jaycer17]

Venezuelan, baby! :) She played with Nirvana's Krist Novoselic some years back.

[@Crapweeds]

Passion goes a long way.

[@fernandopadilla9963]

Just… beautiful

[@DA-cm4wy]

So much passion😍❤

[@saffel]

Yva- used to sing outside the pacific place mall in Seattle- She was so captivating and I always wondered what happened to her. Didn’t realize she was in a band with Krist-

[@ARojas-xk2vc]

Este canal de música el mejor

[@ARojas-xk2vc]

A este Canal deberían traer al grupo Venezolano C4trio.

[@benblack6673]

wonderful!

[@gilberteduardo4930]

tiene estilo, like

[@sfex9]

I was listening to a tiny desk concert random playlist absent minded when she started playing I was like "bloody hell I'm awake! I'm awake!! wtf is this?! what's playing?! I need to know"

[@dieternegrin3914]

She is playing a venezuelan Cuatro, that's the name of the instrument.

[@maraviyoso8473]

The cuatro is for Venezuela what the ukulele is for Hawaii

[@jeffmottproductions]

Super cool! Completely different, but her attitude and inflection has a tUnE-yArDs feel.

[@miroslavsafin]

amazing .

[@gauzeeeee]

loved her in sweet 75

[@OdilaCastillo]

La Lupe con Fredy Reyna en una sola persona.

[@boburiinchankludho]

¡Qué BONITO!

[@luisirie]

TE AMO Yva!

[@carlosbetan]

me encanta....

[@Chematico]

La única Lesbi que me cae bien y que tiene talento, por eso la llamó Kris Novoselic para hacer ese dúo como Sweet 75 y nos representó dignamente el folklore Venezolano!!

[@Patriciateresita]

EXTRAORDINARIA. YVA ERES UN PÀJARO LIBRE

[@thewintersessions]

I've seen her busking at Pike Place market in Seattle

[@UncleYva]

I [played ther for about two decades but it became more and more racist and corporate.

[@dolcedolente]

Wow! This is friggin' RAD!!!

[@LeonardoGarciaguitar]

Yva is the essence of Venezuela. Incredible and incredibly inspiring. All music.

[@AlBenkin]

Amaaazing

[@markduggan538]

what's the tuning she is using on that? Looks like a similar scale length as a Baritone Uke??

[@avnieuwkerk]

very cool!

[@andrewmanagethedamage6234]

Art (is) taking risk :)

[@Benjabenja77]

Such an odd mix, but works brilliantly! Another gem discovered through NPR

[@ibrahimpalencia8367]

QUE VUELVA 10 AÑOS DESPUES

[@pomposo86]

[@jorgeguzmanpenaloza8467]

bella, bella, bella

[@edwinmusic3727]

LES RECOMIENDO EL DISCO EN EL CUAL YVA LAS VEGAS TOCO CON KRIST NOVOSELIC Y UN PERCUSIONISTA DE R.E.M, LA BANDA SE LLAMA SWEET 75 - SEEWT 75 (1997) CANTAN CANCIONES VENEZOLANAS EN EL DISCO, TANLENTO POR EL CUAL KRIST NOVOSELIC LE LLAMO LA ATENCION Y FORMO LA BANDA JUNTO CON ELLA.

[@indiefilms111]

interesting... would love to hear what it sounds with a better instrument. the strings are a bit ragedy and there should have been a mic closer to the guitar so i could hear it better. hell NPR is a radio station seems like they would have good sound people. WTH? VERY nice though. she's really good and passionate i can feel the power but if only the sound and strings were along with her. We could really get the energy.. THanks.. amazing can we buy this one?? i would pay for a download

[@UncleYva]

Yeah I do need a better Cuatro.

[@manuelmarquez727]

yva las vegass world domination te amo venezuela

[@МаксимМельников-ж9с]

Wow !

[@habitanteccs]

buenisma!!

[@lucidinterval8012]

so goddamn real!

[@billordo]

EXCELENTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@orianafine3808]

YES

[@indiefilms111]

I loved it.. I like that idea.. Do you know what type of guitar that is? i love NPR.

[@UncleYva]

It's a Venezuelan Cuatro.

[@vemeko]

cortaron la segunda parte, desde "Crack Whore"... en el sitio de NPR está completo (al menos el audio)

[@UncleYva]

Yo pedi que lo cortaran, quise que fuera todo en espaniol. Ademas esa canción es acerca del racismo en este país y mi uso de drogas del pasado, y se como juzgan los latinos.

[@indiefilms111]

why haven't i heard of her before?? AWESOME STYLE

[@UncleYva]

Because I am not a femmy white chick with a lot of opinions about white supremacy and misogyny.

[@DecaChordal10]

Although you are completely right, I think the point of this is to create more of an acoustic kind of atmosphere.

[@watewashi]

some kind of best! between latino traditional like panchos, diamentes, and petit fusions. sorry, i can not understand latino words. with tenor guitar?

[@mechuleezard]

"Cuantro, is a tipical Venezuelan instrument"

[@bartolocasanova]

yeeeeah¡ si señor

[@anthonygonzalez3283]

[@ramonorozco5927]

I've heard this mariposa song from her and it sounded completely different.

[@pedrovargascom]

Que bonito! Suena a purita Venezuela.

[@MrPittsSox]

Pasion!

[@CarlosMiguelFM]

Que tripeo pana... Suscrito de una!!

[@jackshees]

Escucha un poco de C4trio Unos grandes virtuosos del Cuatro

[@UncleYva]

Toque con ellos hace tres semanas.

[@babababandits]

"...she was an awesome woman who was very vulgar..." XD

[@MrLoribv]

[@AlejandroElOyentePropio]

[@UncleYva]

Guau ❤

[@Majenye]

Genial

[@macklu7571]

I've been punched, kicked, headbutted, stomped, and throw around like a rag doll in mosh pits at Iron Maiden, Slayer, Anthrax, Sepultura, Napalm, Cannibal Corpse, Pantera and countless other concerts. Yva scares me.

[@UncleYva]

Well, I am a woman hence your fear. When I am not singing beautiful music I am not beating people up, but whatever.

[@peacelovepot4L]

she is amazing

[@edwinmusic3727]

PARECE HERMANA DE CRIS KIRWOOD DE LOS MEAT PUPPETS (LA MISMA CARA) CON RAZON Y KRIST NOVOSELIC LE LLAMO LA ATENCION! JJEJEJE
