Fito Páez: Tiny Desk Concert
This Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, NPR Music celebrates artists from all corners of Latinidad with an 'El Tiny' takeover.Felix Contreras | September 15, 2025
What an honor to host Fito Páez, one of the pioneers of Argentine rock, at the Tiny Desk for the start of Latin Music Month. In 1984, Páez released his debut solo album one year after Augusto Pinochet's brutal dictatorship, joining the swell of Spanish language rock and roll that was growing in Argentina. His lyrical insight was poignant then and resonates now.
In this set, his beloved storytelling is on full display as well as his connection to the audience. Páez reaches back to early '90s classics, including "A Rodar Mi Vida" and "Mariposa Tecknicolor," but also features the retrospective new song "Sale el Sol." The closing feels like a homecoming with a rendition of "Circo Beat" that wildly transitions into the reference-heavy "Tercer Mundo," which gets a few lyrical updates for 2025.
