As NPR Music flips Tiny Desk for Latin Music Month, Argentine rock pioneer Fito Páez brings us back to the spirit of post-dictatorship ’80s Argentina, blending the lyrical poignancy that’s defined his career with an intimate Tiny Desk vibe. He breezes through ’90s classics like “A Rodar Mi Vida” and “Mariposa Tecknicolor,” introduces the new “Sale el Sol,” then explodes into “Circo Beat” before a surprise revamp of “Tercer Mundo” updated for 2025.
Páez’s band—featuring dual guitars, brass, and rich backing vocals—kept the energy high, and NPR’s Tiny Desk team delivered flawless production from behind the scenes. It’s a perfect mini-set to celebrate the roots and future of Latin rock.
