This Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, NPR Music celebrates artists from all corners of Latinidad with an ‘El Tiny’ takeover.
Contemporary 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 carry its bed room pop fashion than this barely larger 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 Unhealthy Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti. However there’s a lot extra to the group than the sleek 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 by the present, there’s an authenticity to the group’s lyricism and presentation that pulses simply beneath the emotive keys. The band’s efficiency looks 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.
