can honestly say, I was moved. such beautiful vocals, such beautiful music. Had me swaying...............

This is fantastic. I love the percussion heavy arrangements and the accordion. I bet their live shows are out of this world.

Not only a great singer, a very good musician and a beautiful woman.. but also a nice person. What a nice surprise. Thanks Bob!

+cicci0salsicci0 Thank you for the kind words. And shout to Felix Contreras at NPR!

I absolutely loved the fusion, the moustaches, the fact that the drummer is right on the pocket, the vocals, everything.

She has such a refreshing country flair to her voice! I love it!

This grooves in so many directions that I think I'm lost.

That audio engineer though , I salute you sir 👍🏼👏🏼

WOW - the trumpet player absolutely impressed me - gave me goosebumps!! (Michael Romero) - so much control and subtlety. Great tone. Really impressive. Gina Chavez's voice is incredible! Everyone else is top tier talent, too. Thanks, Tiny Desk, once again for featuring incredible talent!

This lady is fabulous! I got to see her in Tallahassee, Florida in 2019. She was so gracious with her fans!💕💕

Discovering this 6 weeks into isolating at home due to Covid 19. Thank you for making my soul smile. Beautiful voice, contagious energy, great band. What a gift to me tonight!

Everytime i watch one of these...I'm stunned by the musicianship, the perfection of the audio, and left flabbergasted and wondering...who are these poor soulless, bitter shells of humans who vote "dislike" on this? If its not your cup o' tea, ok. But an actual down vote? Really? I feel bad that this music doesn't make you happy.

I so agree with the comments below. Tiny Desk scores yet Another wonderful discovery and exposure of a great band! Gina Chavez is a treasure.

Gina! You do Texas proud! Amazing stage presence and musicianship. I have watched this dozens of times. Gets better every time. Thanks so much....

Stop it, NPR. Stop exposing me to all these fantastic bands... I keep on clicking on these links and saying 'just one song', then I end up listening to them all & damn it I've got another band that I love.

the whole band is amazing, awesome!

Where music is concerned it's a great time to be alive there are so many wonderful musicians out there

Trumpet guy smiles even when he's singing. Mustache guy, keep that stache alive! Accordion skills galore. But the best surprise is Gina's sensual voice. Loving this band BIGTIME!

Wow! Awesome performance. Gina, you rock. I wasn't sure at the start of the first song but it just got better and better and I didn't want the last song to end. Tiny Desk concerts are the best.🙌 x

seven years by now, and always as good to be heard !

What rock have I been living under that I have missed this amazing talent? Gracias por compartir su talento con el mundo, Gina! I love it!!!!

Makes me so proud of my heritage! I can't wait to tell my family and friends about you Gina.

I absolutely meant every word and would add that your mission work in El-Salvador just makes me admire you even more as an awesome human being willing to put your life on the line for others. Having grown up around LAA (Latin American Assistance), Pax Christi, and Tabor House members dealing with refugees from political violence in Guatemala, El-Salvador, and Mexico, I have nothing but massive respect for you. If you've never been to Tabor House in Ciudad Warez, I highly recommend doing so. Father Peter Hinde and Sister Betty Campbell (both in their 90's and going strong) I regard as living saints and some of the most beautiful human beings I've ever known. BTW, I'm also a fellow musician/songwriter who, like you, also sings and plays many different instruments including some odd ones like the Sitar and Baglama Saz. You can hear my music here if you're curious. www.soundcloud.com/wigon So if you're ever interested in collaborating on any music, I would be deeply honored as I'm also living in Central Texas.

What a great performance! The energy she puts out is awesome!
