NPR Music recently hosted a series of special Tiny Desk (home) concerts in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, featuring the talented Colombian-Canadian musician, singer, and songwriter, Lido Pimienta. Known for her diverse musical influences ranging from traditional indigenous and Afro-Colombian styles like Cumbia and Bullerengue to contemporary synthpop and electronic sounds, Pimienta gained widespread recognition with her award-winning 2016 album, La Papessa.

During her Tiny Desk performance, Pimienta showcased her unique blend of musical styles, captivating the audience with her emotive vocals and intricate instrumentation. Notable moments from the concert included powerful renditions of songs from her acclaimed album, providing a glimpse into the depth and complexity of her artistry.

As NPR Music continues to adapt to remote performances through Tiny Desk (home) concerts, the series offers a platform for artists like Lido Pimienta to share their music in an intimate and stripped-down setting, maintaining the essence of the traditional Tiny Desk experience despite the shift to virtual performances.
