Thee Sinseers: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert Hotney 2 Visualizzazioni • 4 anni fa

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.

Felix Contreras | May 2, 2022
To appreciate the magic of a performance from Thee Sinseers, you have to understand the co-mingling of Chicano and African American communities in post-World War II, Southern California. Living in the same neighborhoods, these communities created a virtual symphony of R&B, mariachi and boleros. And what you hear in this California band's Tiny Desk (home) concert, as they perform among plants in a flower shop, builds on a legacy of music that became known as "oldies but goodies" in the Chicano community.

Right from the start, band leader and vocalist Joey Quiñones and his crew dig deep with their original songs that pay homage to the oldies in a way that evokes my own memories of lowrider car shows and lazy Sunday afternoons at Roeding Park in Fresno, Calif. "What's His Name" features a delicate falsetto that was popular in 1950s R&B. The short horn parts and the doo-wop background vocals fall into a call and response backdrop for lyrics about a broken heart.

There is a very real connection in this set between the passionate vocals of the best R&B ballads and mariachi ranchera, both borrowing from the emotional devastation of Italian opera. That's all on display in "Hold On," which makes us question how we have the power to keep on living. Particular attention has to be paid to vocalist Adriana Flores' delicate pleading on "Lovin You," which crescendos into a blown out ballad powered by a tight, shouted chorus from the entire band.

LYRICS:
I don’t know no more
I don’t know no more
I can't put my finger on it
I don't know who to call
We was never use to money
They don’t know how to ball
They looking for me let em know I’m building a wall
Ducking the law I ain’t trusting no one at all
I know that when you shine, they wish some days a be dark
I ain’t know it a be time when you really show who you are.
We burn a bridge and cut the ties and we forever apart

I’m done with all these foes on my soul just forget them
ten months without no syrup it ain’t no codeine in my liver
why men acting like girls talking to Niggas like they sisters
and if you want to roll, you can go to roll with them
Looking through that peep hole better hope it ain’t a hitter
I could do that on my own I don’t want to fuck them niggas
I gotta big brother who love me a stone cold killer
If it's family, that meaning love Never ever ending

I don’t know no more
I don’t know no more
I can't put my finger on it
I don't know who to call
We was never use to money
They don’t know how to ball
They looking for me let them know I’m building a wall
Ducking the law I ain’t trusting no one at all
I know that when you shine, they wish days a be dark
I ain’t never know it a be time when you really show who you are.
We burn a bridge and cut the ties and we forever apart

niggas just ain't mad at that it’s really sum else too it
It's always been your plan
You just ain't had no way to do it
Remember We was cool.
I gave you shit when I didn't use it
Let me get that money back I hope you ain’t ran through it
Want to know how Wunna feel then listen to my music
talk about this shit I didn't know and I was clueless
Real life on this earth.
But shit it feel like a movie
I feel like just Don’t
Know no more what all this would do me

I don’t know no more
I don’t know no more
I can't put my finger on it
I don't know who to call
We was never use to money
They don’t know how to ball
They looking for me let them know I’m building a wall
Ducking the law I ain’t trusting no one at all
I know that when you shine, they wish days a be dark
I ain’t know it a be time when you really show who you are.
We burn a bridge and cut the ties and now we forever apart

We burn a bridge and cut the ties and now we forever apart
I ain’t know it a be time when you really show who you are
We was never use to money
They don’t know how to ball
They looking for me let em know I’m building a wall

Girl Ultra: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 2 Visualizzazioni • 4 anni fa

From Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, Tiny Desk is celebrating Latinx Heritage Month with an "El Tiny" takeover, featuring Jessie Reyez, Susana Baca and more musicians from all corners of Latinidad.

Stefanie Fernández | Sept. 21, 2022
Girl Ultra's music is never one thing for long. After coming up in Mexico City's alt R&B scene, Mariana de Miguel built on that premise with experiments in house, bolero, pop and punk, fused with her own distinct glint. Her El Tiny performance is an effortless flash of all she is capable of and of the commanding performance she's finessed over her career. Even the onomatopoeic chorus of house track "BOMBAY" translates seamlessly to the desk.

Slowed and acoustic as it is, the El Tiny version of "Punk" captures the frenetic rush of the original, itself an alt transfiguration of Gwen Stefani's "Bubble Pop Electric" that interpolates its pop chorus and tailors it to the allure of going out in the south side of Mariana de Miguel's hometown of Mexico City. "Dime tú que voy a hacer con este feeling," ("You tell me what I'm going to do with this feeling") she asks, ostensibly of the person she's singing about. But it's also a question that speaks to the mutability of her performance: effusive and commanding, but never lacking a controlled restraint as it evolves. As she sings in "DameLove," "feelings always come and go."

She begins her El Tiny performance of that song by playing a few moments of the recorded version. Cuco's voice and hers float in from the drum machine, warped, as she flutters her fingers in front of her face, cultivating mystery against the familiarity of the setting for a solo rendition of the song that feels even more intimate.

She describes the final song of her set, "Ella Tú y Yo" from 2019's Nuevos Aires, as "about finding a third one in a relationship – which is pretty common these days." Here, she reworks the R&B ballad into a simmering indie rock churn, its titular phrase whispered with a soft wince.

Just one album and an EP into her career, Girl Ultra has already commanded change — as necessary and sometimes difficult as it can be — as a driver of expression. Here, it's thrilling.

SET LIST

Carla Morrison: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 2 Visualizzazioni • 4 anni fa

From Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, Tiny Desk is celebrating Latinx Heritage Month with an El Tiny takeover, featuring Jessie Reyez, Susana Baca and more musicians from all corners of Latinidad.

Felix Contreras | October 7, 2022
The magic of Carla Morrison’s music is in the intimacy of her lyrics and her voice. I’ve seen the Mexican singer-songwriter woo small audiences and large crowds with an elegance that’s only grown since her first releases.That power to mesmerize is on full display during her time behind the desk with four songs that draw on the things that have earned Morrison stans all over Latin America.

After the opening piano strains of “Contigo,” we’re treated to a display of how Morrison’s lyrics can sometimes move the singer herself as she confesses to shedding a few tears during the chorus.

There is an underlying sense of purpose and release in this music as she explains why she took a break from her music career and how that influences the passion behind her latest album, El Renacimiento.

In fact, even as she introduces “Encontrarme” as an ode to self discovery and recovery, Morrison displays where the emotion in her lyrics come from as she tears up explaining the origin of the song.

“I’m so emotional,” she says through tears, “because it’s been a long time since I’ve been touring and I took a really long time to come back to myself and to be able to sing again. Just to be here means a lot to me because I do watch NPR Tiny Desk at home!”

As if it couldn't get any more emotional, Morrison introduces “Te Regalo” by introducing the object of her melodic affections, her husband and co-producer, Alejandro Jiménez.

I’m not saying you should have a box of tissues nearby while you watch Carla Morrison’s performance, but it came in handy for me.

“Te Regalo”
“Disfruto”
