El Laberinto del Coco: Tiny Desk x globalFEST Hotney 13 Streams • 2 years ago

In 2021, the Tiny Desk x globalFEST series was created to promote international music discovery. For the last three years, artists from around the globe have performed Tiny Desk (home) concerts from their respective countries, but for the first time this year, artists performed at the Tiny Desk at NPR's headquarters.

Felix Contreras | April 5, 2024
The island of Puerto Rico has become known for various musical styles that have influenced not just Latin music, but also global musical trends. From the Afro Caribbean styles that make up the salsa boom of the 1970s, to the "BOOM-chicka-BOOM" of the reggaeton beat that came to dominate the charts, Puerto Rican musicians innovate while never straying far from tradition.

That idea inspired percussionist Hector "Coco" Barez to create the group El Laberinto del Coco, a genre-bending collective built around the folklore and rhythmic styles of bomba. The group's message is clear from the opening grooves of "Se Vuelve Miel" that Barez's vision is to dig deep into the African roots of call-and-response with four vocalists and four horn players to remind us throughout its performance of the power of bomba to create community.

Special mention should be made of the presence of musician Jerry Medina, a musical treasure and icon from the island who has performed with the biggest names in Afro Caribbean music as a vocalist and trumpeter — in this case adding voca rumba percussion and sound effects.

Lyrics:
These friends of mine will come and go
I’m the first to leave and last to know
I’ll be swimming in a face of flames
For these friends of mine I’ve overpaid
And I guess I wanted, I guess I wanted
I just want you to know

All of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
And I am
Only looking up when my head’s down
All of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
And I Am
Only looking up when my head’s down

Veins are glistening
So thanks a lot for listening
I guess I wanted, I guess I wanted
I just want you to know

All of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
And I am
Only looking up when my head’s down
All of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
And I Am
Only looking up when my head’s down

Well I guess I wanted, I guess I wanted
I just want you to know

Yeah! Yeah! Ooh someone left the lights on
Yeah! Yeah! Ooh someone left the lights on
Yeah! Yeah! Ooh someone left the lights on
Yeah! Yeah! Ooh someone left the lights on

All of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
And I am
Only looking up when my head’s down
All of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
Maybe all of these things made me who I am
And I Am
Only looking up when my head’s down

Well I guess I wanted, I guess I wanted
I just want you to know

Hypnotized from the day you were born
Hypnotized from the day you were born

Lyrics:

You’re
All i ever wanted
So how come I’m still haunted
By these thoughts inside my head

You love me
but no matter what you say
There’s only one of two ways
that this is gonna end

Someone dies or someone gets hurt
But if one of us dies

i hope i die first
Cause i don’t wanna live without you
I don’t wanna ever learn
How to fall asleep you without you
Tell me what’s worse
Losing you now or later?
Maybe i can break the curse
And I can be in love forever
If i die first
I hope i die first
I can be in love forever if i die first

You’re my fire and my safety
You’d never mean to break me
And That’s why I’m afraid

Cause some day everybody’s leaving
You promise that you’ll stay
But that’s a promise you can’t make

Someone dies or someone gets hurt
But if one of us dies

I hope i die first
Cause i don’t wanna live without you
I don’t wanna ever learn
How to fall asleep you without you
Tell me what’s worse
Losing you now or later?
Maybe i can break the curse
And I can be in love forever
If i die first
I hope i die first
I can be in love forever if i die first

If I die first
I hope I die first
I can be in love forever

Love forever
Love forever

If I die first
Can’t escape it that’s how it works
Someone dies or someone gets hurt
But if one of us dies
