Adrian Quesada brings his restless creativity to NPR Music’s Tiny Desk as part of the “El Tiny” takeover celebrating Latinidad (Sept. 15–Oct. 15). Best known for his work with Grupo Fantasma, Black Pumas and Brownout, Quesada leads a four-song bolero set from his Boleros Psicodélicos project, showcasing just enough drama without overdoing the vocal gymnastics.
Each track features a different singer—Angélica Garcia on “No Juego,” Mireya Ramos on “Tus Tormentas,” Trish Toledo on “Hoy Que Llueve,” and iLe on “Mentiras Con Cariño”—backed by Quesada’s guitar, keys, bass, drums, strings and percussion. It’s a stripped-down, emotive take on a classic Cuban form, highlighting the power of heartbreak rendered with discipline and soul.
