Hello my dear readers, today I want to give you my opinion on this thing that you have been asking me for a few weeks now, and above all it has made me reflect a lot on our way of seeing and listening to urban music.
Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso's Tiny Desk Concert . If you don't know them yet, these Argentine artists are making a lot of noise with their fusion of genres: a bit of rap, funk, electronica, rock, and a unique energy that grabs you from the first second.
At this Tiny Desk, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso show their musical versatility, their relaxed flow and the brutal chemistry between them. You can tell they enjoy being there, they improvise, they have fun and they transmit that vibe effortlessly. Each song sounds organic and, at the same time, modern, as if they were making music for the coolest party in the neighborhood, but also to listen to with headphones and appreciate all the nuances.
If you take the time to pay attention to the musical details, what they are achieving is truly brutal. The textures, the arrangements and the way they bridge genres show a level of quality that is not seen every day.
Now, a warning: their lyrics are quite explicit. If that doesn't bother you, you're in for a real musical gem, a band that experiments fearlessly and takes you down sonic paths full of surprise and creativity.
The set featured instruments like guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums, each adding their own texture and nuance. The result is a sound that is far more organic and complex than you might imagine if you only know the studio versions. These musicians don’t just reproduce the original tracks—they reinterpret them in real time, adding funk nuances, hard-hitting grooves, and a rhythmic ease that makes each song breathe and evolve on the fly.
This ensemble not only enriches the sound recording, but also provides a visual and performative dynamic. Seeing them interact, enjoy and surprise each other in such an intimate space as the Tiny Desk is a sign of the level of understanding and trust they have, something that is transmitted directly to the listener.
Also worth introducing is Anita B Queen , a versatile artist who embodies the essence of contemporary music: she doesn’t limit herself to a single role, but combines her skills as a DJ, backing vocalist, guitarist and sampler with astonishing ease. Anita doesn’t just trigger tracks and effects, she also adds vocal nuances and guitar riffs that enrich the live experience, proving that versatility is the new standard for anyone who wants to leave an authentic mark on the music scene.
I've seen more than one person get confused and think that the show's backup singer is very similar to Dua Lipa, but don't worry: no, no, she really isn't. Her name is Nina J , and although she has a resemblance to the British singer, Nina has her own vibe and charisma. Her stage presence, her voice and her style don't need comparisons, she shines with her own light.
Give this Tiny Desk a try, turn up the volume and get ready for a musical journey unlike any other. Have you already heard about them? Tell me what you think of their proposal.
