This Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, NPR Music celebrates artists from all corners of Latinidad with an ‘El Tiny’ takeover.
Recent off the discharge of its newest album Submarine, The Marías have by no means felt extra ready-made for the Tiny Desk. With the primary few chimes of the synth and notes from Maria Zardoya’s breathy vocals, the band makes it clear that there’s no higher place to deliver its bed room pop fashion than this barely greater area.
The indie band has been skyrocketing over the previous few years with basic Spanglish hits like “Cariño” (featured right here on the Desk) and a collab on Dangerous Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti. However there’s a lot extra to the group than the graceful digital beats and guitar riffs that meet the ear.
Headed by Puerto Rican lead singer Maria Zardoya, who proudly locations a Puerto Rican flag on the Desk midway via the present, there’s an authenticity to the group’s lyricism and presentation that pulses simply beneath the emotive keys. The band’s efficiency seems like a soundtrack for a technology that exists in lots of worlds, and in The Marías Tiny Desk viewers discover a new, ethereal, welcoming world to belong to.
