31 Minutos: Tiny Desk Concert

NPR Music’s “El Tiny” takeover spotlights Chile’s beloved puppet-rockers 31 Minutos, who made their U.S. debut at the Tiny Desk on October 6, 2025. Kicking off with a fog-shrouded puppet guitar solo, the show blends classic Southern Cone riffs, cutesy choral moments and sharp social commentary, turning the Tiny Desk into a full-on playground.

They ripped through seven high-energy tracks—“Mi Equilibrio Espiritual,” “Bailan sin César,” “Objeción Denegada” and more—backed by creators Álvaro Díaz and Pedro Peirano on vocals and puppetry, music director Pablo Ilabaca on guitar and keys, a crack team of puppeteers and the Tiny Desk production crew helmed by Anamaria Sayre. It’s equal parts educational, silly and downright unforgettable.
