Brooklyn Rider, the adventurous string quartet, revisited NPR's Tiny Desk concert series recently, showcasing their eclectic taste by blending Asian folk tunes, Beethoven string quartets, and their original compositions. This time, they were joined by Mexican jazz singer and songwriter, Magos Herrera. Herrera, known for her multilingual singing in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, has a decorated career collaborating with various artists like Javier Limón and Tim Ries. She has received accolades such as the Berklee Latin Masters Award and was recognized alongside Michelle Obama as one of the most influential women by Siempre Mujer magazine.

During the concert, Herrera mesmerized the audience with her soulful voice on songs like "Aquarela do Brasil" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away." The intimate setting of the Tiny Desk allowed for stirring performances, showcasing the unique blend of genres that define both Brooklyn Rider and Magos Herrera. Moreover, Herrera's advocacy for gender equality through her involvement with UN Women UNITE and the "He For She" campaigns adds depth to her artistic endeavors. This collaboration at the Tiny Desk concert encapsulated the essence of musical diversity and social consciousness, leaving a lasting impact on the audience.
