    Los Tigres' Tiny Desk, explained
    Last week we published a Tiny Desk Concert that ended up being unusual for a few reasons.First of all, it was the final production of our sixth annual El Tiny series. This was a very emotional moment for a lot of reasons. People really love Los Tigres del Norte, to the point that playing their albums feels like sitting with family. And if you’ve seen the introduction I gave the band just before they played at the desk you can see that I wasn’t embarrassed to get emotional when I talked about what the band means to me. That emotional intro led to some changes in our process and format that resulted in a huge response from the audience that went viral. The result was a messy moment behind the scenes here at NPR and more than a little confusion for a lot of you.This week’s episode looks back at last week. First we want to share with you, directly from us, an explanation of what happened.But mostly we want to put the spotlight back on the band and their music because for decades they have been bringing out the kind emotions that got this whole thing started.Give it a listen and enjoy the music. Again. - FelixThis podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell and edited by Jacob Ganz and Otis Hart.

    Every El Tiny song has a secret
    The Tiny Desk’s magnetism is its intimacy. We strip back lights and a big stage and get to see artists speak honestly about who they are directly to an audience around the world.This becomes all the more profound during our El Tiny takeover of Latin Music Month, where artists whisper truths and share secrets about community, country, pain and family. Often on production days, artists share with us the importance of each individual song — the stories behind them and why they needed to be played in such an honest space.So, this week on Alt.Latino we wanted to let you all in on the secrets. Alex Ferreira, Draco Rosa and Los Tigres del Norte shared with us, in their words, what a song they played at the Tiny Desk for this year’s El Tiny takeover meant to them. Hopefully, learning what’s behind the songs will help each show mean a little bit more for all of you, too.Artists and songs featured in this episode:(00:40) Mon Laferte, "No Le Regales Tu Corazón"(04:06) Alex Ferreira, "Monte Adentro"(13:43) Draco Rosa, "Vagabundo"(19:58) Los Tigres del Norte, "Somos Más Americanos"This podcast was produced by Noah Caldwell.

    Tim, The Beatles and all of Brazil
    The music of Tim Bernardes fits as easily in the poetry of the cosmos as it does in the songwriting canon of his country. Brazil has a legacy of some of the greatest most intricate, emotional songwriting there is, and if you ask me, I’d argue Tim fits right into it. So, I invited him in to play a Tiny Desk for our annual El Tiny takeover. And, of course, I took the opportunity to pull him into the studio after – I absolutely needed to know what he’s been listening to. So, here we are again playing my latest and greatest new game: a special version of our typical guest DJ episode, where I ask them to recall different parts of their lives and themselves through music. No prepared songs or ideas. Let’s call this episode a musical tapestry painted by one of the greatest Brazilian singer-songwriters of this era.  - Anamaria SayreArtists and songs mentioned in this episode:- The Beatles, 'I Want To Hold Your Hand'- Os Mutantes, 'Caminhante Noturno'- Milton Nascimento, 'Nuvem Cigana'- Nelson Cavaquinho, 'Eu E As Flores'- Gilberto Gil, 'Luzia Luluza'- Antônio Carlos Jobim, 'Saudade Do Brasil,' 'O Boto'- Caetano Veloso, 'Minha Mulher'- Tim Bernardes, 'Realmente Lindo'This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.
