Gloria Estefan’s Tiny Desk Comeback

Gloria Estefan marked her 50-year career with a reflective, high-energy Tiny Desk concert during NPR Music’s “El Tiny” takeover. Backed by Cuban percussion, tight keys and powerful background vocals, she proved again why hits like “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You” and “Conga” broke barriers and brought Spanish-language music to the U.S. mainstream.

The intimate set also dived into classics such as “Mi Tierra,” “Raíces” and “Wrapped,” showcasing Estefan’s enduring knack for blending authentic Latin rhythms with pop savvy. It’s a joyous reminder that her music still unites communities and gets everyone on their feet.
