Becky G: Tiny Desk Concert

Показать описание

This Latinx Heritage Month Tiny Desk is celebrating with an 'El Tiny' takeover, featuring a wide array of artists from all corners of Latinidad.

Felix Contreras | October 13, 2023
The Tiny Desk had a considerable pop sheen when vocalist Becky G took her place alongside a backing band featuring a string quartet. The stripped down sound of some of her biggest hits offered a rare view of her artistry.

"BAILÉ CON MI EX" is the perfect example of an unforgettable hook. It had the NPR staff audience bopping in place for what she described as a "warm up" for the rest of her set. "MAMII" was originally recorded with Karol G, but performed alone, and the Tiny Desk version was no less a scorcher. Here, interplay with guitarist Justice West at the beginning set the temperature for a slow burn.

The showstopper is her duet with vocalist DannyLux, "CRIES IN SPANISH," a song they did together on her latest album, Esquinas. I have to admit that when he started his part of the song, it was apparent that their voices were kind of made for eachother. And by the time she obliged us with her Tiny Desk concert take on "Shower," she had cast her spell: I ended up singing that chorus for the rest of the day.

The fact that she finished with Shower just shows how grateful she is for her roots cause that was her first really big hit before the massive Mayores and Sin Pijima plus more

as someone who was a fan of Becky G when she sang in English, this feels like reconnecting with a long-lost friend after life took you in different directions but the love is still so real 🥺💕

She sounds so good live. Her voice sounds clean and very in tune, with a lot of breath control and beautiful melismas. She is undoubtedly a good vocalist and what to say about her charisma and beauty. Proud to represent our Latin culture at such a level.

I've followed Becky G since she would post her rap videos...her talent was evident and amazing to watch. So happy she's found success in the Spanish market. She deserves it so much! La mejor!

Okay but why does Tiny Desk seem to always bring out the best of the artists?! & don’t get me started with the instrumentals always being the perfect match to the artist! 🔥 Iconic moments so far from Tink Desk; Ivy Queen, Karlo G, Becky G ! 🙌
