Tiny Desk Live performance : NPR


This Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, NPR Music celebrates artists from all corners of Latinidad with an ‘El Tiny’ takeover.

Sheila E. is a portrait of movement.

Not simply the motion of her physique as one of many world’s most acknowledged drummers, but in addition as a flexible musician who glides simply from style to style with the convenience of a grasp. For her time behind the Desk, she assembled a group of musicians to play tracks from her first ever salsa album Bailar.

From the primary notes of “Rumba Percussion Jam,” Sheila E.’s bona-fides performing true rumbera (conventional Afro-Cuban drumming and singing) are on full show along with her conga chops. Your entire set is a mirrored image of her lengthy standing capacity to meld Afro-Caribbean, jazz and funk right into a danceable celebration that caps off with photographs of tequila for her last monitor “Playa Tequila.”

Any period of time spent with Sheila E. is a reminder that top caliber musicianship is all the time first and goes down simpler when offered with the joyous power of an icon.
