Oh my goodness! Honestly, I wouldn't have clicked on this video if I didn't see the violin in the thumbnail but I'm SO glad I did. I'm a Black female violinist, who's grandfather escaped Cuba many years ago. I loved this entire performance! This is a masterclass in our to give a short performance. Every space was filled with a purpose. Loved the shout out of their name as they were wrapping their final song. Thank you for featuring them.
Wow ❤❤❤ Cuban musicians never disappoint…just to give you a hint of the importance of Cubans in music in general that many of music genres were invented in Cuba, e.g. mambo, son, cha cha cha, and many others ❤
WOW WOW WOWW!!!! muchas gracias por compartir este video, y priorizar y dar luz a artistas afro latines es súper súper importante!! que bonito video y que talentosos todos!!!!!!!!
Just saw them last night in Portland without knowing who they were. They were amazing! Totally phenomenal, we'd just seen Green Day the day before and they run a live show with even more magnetic energy. Hope to see them come back soon as a main act!
I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve played this. It’s so positive with a groove that calms you & hypes you at the same time! 😩 I just have to see them live. 💫
Saw them last night opening for Rodrigo Y Gabriella in Salt Lake City. Listened to the Tiny Desk on the way up but it did not prepare us for the energy and musicianship that we saw on stage. Totally blown away, and they just lit up my kids who were reluctant attendees. We had the great fortune of meeting them in the merch tent and getting a few pictures and some signed merch. I hope this exposure blows them up like some other TD artists, they deserve it.
Es maravilloso que hayan seguido su cultura incluso si vivían lejos de su país. Yo también soy una latina en el extranjero y me emocionó mucho este concierto :')
These fine ladies have great flow and have been my El Tiny favorite so far. They don’t sound at all schmaltzy like almost all of the male based Latin groups I’ve heard recently on this series.
Great performance. Viva OKAN, Viva Cuba, Viva Canada. There appears to be a sizable Cuban community in Canada. After Alex Cuba, this is the second Tiny Desk Concert I've watched, of Cuban music artistes with links to Canada. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 25th September 2024.
❤❤❤❤OMG even is one of MY dreams come true!!! Beautiful girls I studied with 🥹 !so proud of you guys!. Amazing concert, now I have to watch OKAN live!!!!
No matter where you are and are black, You're African. Africans have got the rhythm. I heard so much Yoruba words. Yoruba language is widely spoken in Nigeria. Your ancestors are proud of you. Please visit Western Nigeria. There's a state named Osun state in Nigeria
I saw them this summer at Atlanta’s jazz fest! I went just for them and they did not disappoint. They were the BEST! So happy to see that they made it to Tiny Desk! ❤

Wow!! I didn't know I loved Afro-Cuban so much. I don't know Spanish and this still felt so good to my ears and my heart!
