Los Hacheros: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2016
- June 30, 2016 by FELIX CONTRERAS • Sometimes it's necessary to get back to basics. In the case of Los Hacheros, that means returning to the deep groove of Afro-Caribbean music that provides the source material for modern salsa and all of its permutations.
As you'll see in this video, the band's dedication to authenticity is masterfully executed with a serious dose of sabor. In fact, the band was so swinging, it was impossible to sit on the sidelines and pass up my own chance to jump in during "Bambulaye" and perform with the band myself. So clear out the furniture and turn up the sound on this video to create your own dance party.
Bambulaye is available now:
iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/bam...
Amazon: www.amazon.com/Bambulaye-LOS-...
Set List:
"Baila Con Los Hacheros"
"Papote's Guajira"
"Bambulaye"

Avec des musiciens comme ça j’ai l’impression de comprendre l’espagnol. Quel bonheur!
This is CUBAN MUSIC not "Afro-Carribean." Afro- Spanish or Criollo would be more accurate if you want to be more "inclusive."
This is one of the most underrated NPR performances. Hats off.
I'm with you
👏👏👏
I Will dare to state that its one of Top 5
Still better than dua lipa come on
for real, these guys straight grind
7 years later and I am still coming back here to feel music again
Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the musicians are:
William Ash - Bass
Itai Kriss - Flute/Percussion
Carlos Padron - Conga
Jacob Plasse - Tres Cubano
Papote Jimenez - Percussion/Vocals
Eddie Venegas - Violin/Trombone

What’s the name of the first song?
@@FrankBishop2 Baila Con Los Hacheros
Finally some love for the Bass Player
@@ebengordon6074 love acoustic bass!
MVP
Dancer, backup vocals, violin soloist and trombone player. Super talented musician.
This should be prescribed to whoever is feeling down.
Penélope Montoya word
Just knowing the Cuban Son??? This is the cure of all diseases!
Penélope Montoya yeah but big Pharma wouldn’t make any money. 😂
after this im takeing spanish clasess
No sh*t after I listened to this I felt ascended lol
Trombonist and Violinist? Daaaaamn!!
yeah damn is the right reaction. hes not human
it had a burundanga effect on me.
Or he's left handed...
Yet he plays the violin as right handed.
Every time I see him live, I want to have his kids. That combo is just too moisture inducing.
I swear Tiny Desk concerts are preserving my sanity and feeding my soul these days, thank you!!

I knoooow!
Before covid I would go to see these guys every week in NYC. Couldn't believe that such a performance was free every week!
You were so lucky! I can't wait until this freaking Covid situation is over and hope to see them live.
Where at ?
Come back! Itai (floutist plays with a live band several times throughout the week) and Los Hacheros has another performance coming up soon!
@@Yatusabe1029 I saw them at Tompkins Square Park in 2019
As a South African; I can hear Home in this soundscape.
I love what you humans do. Thank You
Zack Vye of course you would hear you would find it familiar. As a Cuban and this group even though very diverse on the ppl in the band is mostly Cuban songs. As Cubans we pride ourselves from our Spain and African roots.
I'd be really interested to hear examples of South African Music this reminds you of. Please share!!!
Jose Vega this is a Puerto Rican band not Cuban, just FYI Puerto Rican’s started the salsa we hear today, was created by boricuas in the 60’s in New York 👍🏽
UniquelyMade I think you misunderstood him. He never said they were Cubans. He said most of the music they played was Cuban and that is true :)
no I didnt misunderstand him, Puerto Rican music is very similar and the main singer is Puerto Rican, they mix the styles together so its not exclusively cuban.
The guy playing the trombone and violin plus backing vocals, is definitly the star of this performance for me! So fun to watch!
And dancing, too!
@@emmanuelgomez8840 And smiling too!
El hombre orquesta...one-man band!
The flutenist isnt doing that bad
I served the flautist coffee years ago and I was too nervous to say I loved their music!!!!!! Regret that moment!!!! 🥺🥺
The first song from 11.50, says in literal Yoruba, "bo le ya ko ya, ojo pa ewe koko". Meaning doesn't matter how heavy the rain is Koko plant leaves is ready to accept the rain. Torn leaves or not, the leaves are strong enough to withstand torrential rain falls. In other words the band is capable and well equipped to play any kind of music. Viva Yoruba
Muchas gracias Emma por compartir ese conocimiento! Thank you!
Dont scare them with their own culture...please!🤣❤
Yoruba is spoken in Cuba...where they take most of their music and inspiration.
@@hyasmine7336 , scare? Our families don't become scared of their sacred culture and certainly not ashamed of their language. It is something to be proud of because it is rich. It is not borrowed and therefore not a thing to be ashamed or scared of. Some people may want to distance themselves from their Africaness, I understand that clearly but please let's appreciate those who are not copycats and want to be lost and blind to their own history. I am proudly Yoruba. Alafia to you: Peace to you.
@@usergvhhyu1223 , thank you. May our ancestors bless you
My God, that salsa breakdown at 13:52 gave me goose bumps!
I LOVE IT TOO
¿CÓMO HE PODIDO VIVIR TANTOS AÑOS SIN ESCUCHAR A ESTE GRUPAZO? 😱
Lo mismo pense cuando los escuche por primera vez hacen 2año. Sin duda un grupazo q con mucho sazón....
Bullet in the head!
¡Exacto!... Afortunadamente existen este tipo de plataformas o sino me hubiese perdido de esta joya...
Cómo se llama la primera canción que tocan?
Nunca se s tarde para comenzar querido...!!!...🎶🎊🎆🎵🍾y tienes razón : que grupazo...!!!🇲🇽🎶 saludos desde Chihuahua México.!!!✌️‼️
These guys are the best! After 8 years still enjoying their music!
Trombonist/violinist dancing is everything
This guys remind me of the Golden age of Buena Vista Social Club, I went to two concerts when they were all alive. I can hear their voices (ghosts) with these guys! Thank you NPR, had no idea of them
La esencia del son cubano!
Omar Ramirez totally agree!
@@pmireur04 Me too..from Danmark.
Absolutely!
Sounds like Ibrahim Ferer. Also the hat.
This brings back so many memories from my childhood in Venezuela. I remember my parents having parties at home and me falling asleep in the couch to this music.
what a sweet memorie!
HERMOSO!! es un recuerdo que probablemente todos los latinoamericanos tenemos en común, mas que nada los caribeños, en mi Campeche, México es algo que todos vivimos, cansados dormidos en las sillas de las fiestas o sillones de las casas

This is probably one of the greatest Tiny Desk intros
My new favorite NPR concert ❤ Love from Algeria 🇩🇿
Not a clue what they're singing but I could listen all day.
Once you understand it, then it's done for.
1 song says something like: if you want to dance so dance, if you want to enjoy, enjoy. And then some: dance with the "boat man" x ntimes. They are really good.
just enjoy it!
Para el que me lo pida se lo doy
As a latino this is so damn funny xD
This is a lost art. Less and less Latino bands... Compared to the days of la fania so respects and bendiciones for keeping our roots strong ..!!
check out buyepongo!
Ali solja boy voice: LOOOOST????? LOST???? No fucking way this is alive and well... where do you live?????
check out mecanik informal from Panamá!
The lead singers voice is a bit similar to that of Mayito Rivera, former lead singer of Los Van Van and a Cuban musical tour de force in his own right.
Serving in the army early ‘80’s at a large base I remember Latino musicians meeting in the park with their instruments, food, families and soul! They would make the most joyous music. Inevitably, it would draw listeners and before long people would be dancing and singing bringing in additional instruments. This organic rotation of performers and audience would take place throughout the day.
What a fond memory this wonderful band brings me.😄
As a South African I didn't know latin music had a similar tempo as South African music it's astonishing!
It has more Latin than African rhythm, obviously it has influences but salsa , bolero . hector lavoe the biggest salsa exhibitor
I seriously have to look into south African music then! Super awesome to know. Thanks!
The caribean percusion is african desendant
It's all of african descent.
African roots baby forever!!!!!!!
That solo at 2.23 was one of the wildest piece of music I've seen, I'd never expected it to come from a violin!
Good catch, went back, nice, but true unexpected to say the least.
NUTS!
the flutist is flawless.
This band is the real deal! This is the music! That old school sound that you can't front on. No machines! REAL PEOPLE BRINGS REAL FEELINGS! VIVA LA MUSICA! Jamaican in N.Y! Caribbean flavor! Spicy!!!
Love it so much, at 62 I want learn Spanish!
Jugador de fútbol, trombonista y violinista. Falcao, eres increíble!
😂😂😂 y Karim Benzema en el güiro también!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
AJAJAJAJJAJA
Player of the year on multiple levels
Hi Jairo, his name is Eddie Venegas
This second generation Cuban is moved to tears. Thank you! I lost my parents, but they live on through our music and food.
The dude switching up his instruments was a boss.
Bro........I had to REWIND!!!!!
Which one lol? They all played at least two.
shore was
@@bofurseamantle9547 common sense isnt that common it seems, based on your comment lol
Karim Benzema en el güiro y la flauta, Radamél Falcao en el trombón y el violín y Aziz Ansari en voz y percusión. ¡Grandes Los Hacheros!
Cesc Fabregas en la Guitarra
😂😂😂
@@estebanmillaldeo3649 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
That’s live folks. It’s difficult enough to get 4 guys on the same page. These guys are top notch.
I'm African-American and loving this Afro Latino sound ,Just beautiful!!!❤️❤️
Cuban music.
@@usergvhhyu1223 Cuba has African, Spanish, and Indigenous (Native) roots. Stop trying to minimize the African influence. Spanish people contributed the strings, flute, piano, the percussion instruments (conga drum, cowbell, etc.) that come from West Africa.
@@teresai1877 I'm Cuban, Teresa, tell me something new....but warning, careful making assumptions about my previous comments, you may end up looking like a buffoon.
@@usergvhhyu1223 they literally have a song with the lyrics “ritmor cubano, sabor africano” if they can honestly and openly say that african rhythms instrumentation scale and music influences the sound why can’t you.
@@daphne9733 Simple:
1) If you were to study in-depth Cuban music you'd learn that is a combination of multiple cultural vectors: African, Spanish, French, Taino, Chinese, etc, etc, etc. Cuban music, although significantly influenced by African music, is different from African music. The are multiple excellent books on the subject, I recommend you read about it. The general idea to emphasize African and de-emphasize Cuba in Cuban music and rhythms is based on utter, complete ignorance and attempted ridiculous manipulation of Cuban history and disrespect to the thousands of composers, arrangers, folk singers, bands enclave, and academic faculty in Cuban music conservatories since 1492.
2) What they say or don't say, or play in this case is irrelevant. This is a small local band that pretty much recycles, repackages and changes lyrics of traditional and contemporay Cuban music. Meaning, get existing lyrics from authors and/or owners that can not really fight their intellectual property rights in US Courts, change a few words and play it. If they were in the Rock and Roll, R&B, Rap or other forms of American music, they would have received multiple cease and desist letters of had to pay royalties that would probably either take them out of business or forced them to change their repertoire due to copyright infringement.
As a colombian I have to say THANK YOU for this beautiful latin piece full of love and sabor!!!
Son músicos fuera de serie. El vocalista es la resurección de un sonero de los 70. El del violín es un show, siente y expresa la música con alegría.
Tears in my eyes thinking of pre-Corona times , dancing the nights away ......freedom
Eddie Venegas es increíble, es realmente un músico libre; no usa teclas, no usa trastes, no usa llaves, no usa pistones. Usa sus manos y yo creo hay que agradecerle que use el arco jajajaj. Tremendo, tremendísimo todo!
Big time digging the international selections of late, NPR! This is a great choice.
Aché pa' Los Hacheros! Son unos bárbaros.
Palo! Music Needs to have a it’s Tiny Desk!
¿Cuanto debería de pagar este grupo como para tener a Falcao en el trombón y a Benzema de flautista?
Brutal el grupo, de la mejor salsa contemporánea que he encontrado
20:50 this bass player is a stone cold killer for most of their set, but the mad lad has just a hint of fun here and it's so heartwarming
These cats are the real deal - as close as I've heard to Fania's golden era. They have it all. And Felix Contreras deserves a special shout out, not only for his killer conga cameo at the end, but for promoting the best in Latin music for years through such an important channel as NPR.
I have listened to this 50 times in the last 2 months
That violin solo is gold
IS PLATINUM 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The amount of times I've watched this is INSANE.
Same! Keep coming back again and again. In love with the sound this band puts out. So much love for what they do
This is my first and will definitely come back again and again 🙌🏼
Wait, a left-handed trombone player playing left-handed? AWESOME. And then he picks up a violin and plays it right-handed!
Will Findlay. No me percaté. Increíble. Es el más chiflado del grupo
Venezolano. Eddie Venegas, toca en la orquesta de Marc Anthony
Good eye that was my first pick on multitalentness what a perform lovo it great post.
Cool 😎.

I was actually looking for a totally different band and stumbled upon this... absolutely incredible... Every member of this group is truly a master of their instruments, but hats off to the flutist and the violin/trombone player. I don't throw the word around, almost ever, but the fact that this group was able to snag 2 virtuosos is the second most impressive part lol...
La belleza de esta música es que cada miembro hace parecer fácil lograr la conjunción de sonidos pero hay una perfección en cada sonido mucho más allá de lo común. El son cubano es sin duda un patrimonio de la humanidad. Es testigo de la capacidad humana para sobrellevar con una sonrrisa hasta las más difíciles situaciones de vida.
Viva Cuba y su bella musica,alimento para el alma.
@@walterfuentes249 viva Cuba, los músicos de la agrupación son estadounidenses, de ascendencia portorriqueña.
¡Que hermoso! ojalá sigan mostrando al mundo que américa latina tiene músicos y artistas fenomenales.. Saludos desde 🇦🇷
LOVE, LOVE. Rageton WILL NEVER REPLACE SALSA IN OUR HEARTS! TRUE BORICUA HERE.
This is actually a classic and should be somehow monatized to benefit the artists. Grateful.
Es la magia de tocar un instrumento y cantar natural que nunca va a poder emular tecnología. Es puro sentimiento en cada golpe, cada nota musical, simplemente hermoso, Excelente Los Hacheros. Aun recuerdo cuando los vi hace años en un video donde tocaban en una calle prácticamente vacía de Chinatown
“Si quiere bailar que baile, si quiere gozar que goze!” WEPAAAAAAAAA
That’s gonna be stuck in my head for a while lol ❤️ 🎶
I wish there was a love button for this!
Yes Real salsa music
Just a group of professional hitmen with a secret passion for music!!
Espectacular! Y de algún modo por momentos siento que estoy viendo y escuchando a Óscar de León, Johnny Pacheco y Alfredo de la fe en concierto. Estas son las bandas que necesitamos para que pedure el legado musical de calidad!
Man, Latin America has everything. I love it.
Well so many races, ethnicity sometimes in tiny countries like mine. Panama, we had french with the French, canal, then with the US Panama Canal, chinese and Indians from India, we have italians, of course Mother Country Spain, african latinos that came with the spaniards as.slaves.with the conquest, the natives indians, etc.
El sujeto que toca dos instrumentos es un monstruo y aparte baila! Lo amé!!
Y canta xd
toca el violín con la derecha, y el trombón con la izquierda...
This is so beautiful and joyous. The way they alter the tempo on Papote's Guajira is amazing. I love those minor key guajiras.
Me dan miedo estos locos, son una brutalidad, suenan más potentes que muchas orquestas de salsa.
I can hear Celia and Johnny in their music with a twist of yomo with acoustics.. Throw in a little Willie and this is the NEW FANIA!! love this sound
wow, music is actually a universal language. c'mon. all the way from Nigeria, one love.
em 2023 me apaixonei por essa banda! linda e maravilhosa! obrigado por tudo
If we could all enjoy our work as much as Eddie Venegas enjoys his, we would have no more problems left in the world.
Desde Cali Colombia repito no me canso de escuchar esto
NPR! Thank you for the love and dedication. I'm hooked like a fish to this channel of musical education. A plethora of fine arts and expression of these artist. I'm sincerely grateful.
Must have listened to this set about 50 times I ❤️ It
God damn it's so nice to see Latin music represent on Tiny Desk Concert! Makes me miss La Republica Dominicana.
Mostly Cuban music played by an awesome group of musicians.
Truly great! The best of it all is how such a variety of diferent cultures are within this band... Cuban, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan!!! Thats what makes this so GREAT!
My first time hearing Los Hacheros.
WOW!
It’s so heartening to see young musicians keeping classic salsa and son alive. Beautiful stuff.
El cantante es fenomenal!
The congero made a perfect solo on one drum. You don’t need 5 congas if you are an artist.
indeed!
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
Exactly
Great band! Don't know what they're saying but they sure do look happy! Well done, tiny desk!
Love the diversity in their group! They are all amazing musicians and I am a fan of them.Thank you NPR for inviting "Los Hacheros" to your program.
Love it!!!! Caribbean Latin music is just the best! Nothing comes close imo! How can you not wanna dance? 🇵🇷
WhatsHappeningNowNews lo llevamo en nuestra sangre hermano! Cheers from LA🙌🏼🇨🇺
Cuba and Puerto Rico the two wings of Latin American music. Tiny but mighty islands in terms of Latin music and literature. Amazing performers!
they r venezuela tho lol
@@benjaminmolero5965 while they are Venezuelan, their genre of music is “Son” which is a predominantly (and invented by) Cuban/Puerto Rican
That violin solo was freaking amazing! Bravo!!!
He's venezuelan! He dances while he plays!
I return to this more than any other NPR performance... just pure class from start to finish.
Esto le cambia un mal día a cualquiera! Cuanto sabor Los Hacheros!!!
I keep coming back to this video...
shut up and take all my money... !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW... ! Magistrate this instrumental execution... !!!!! the Caribbean have the best rhythm in the world. !!!!!!!!
I’ve come here about 2000 times a day since seeing this concert ....
god damn where has this been my whole life, they killing it!
These guys are fantastic it takes a lot of work to sound like that, there super tight!!!!!!
Brilliant young musicians rescuing old school music. Great sonero singer. Cheer up everyone, in covid's season.
First time watching these guys and hooked. What a combo! Greetings from Spain. Puerto Rico y Cuba siempre tendrán un hueco en nuestro corazón!
This is in the top 5 tiny desk concerts imho
This is the sound. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE SABOR, SAOCO, SANDUNGA Y SAZON CARAJO.
carmelo soto sr. Hahaha!
We need more salsa like this!! Old school with today’s flavor!! Great job!!
Sounds like music from the past. Reminds me so much of Fania All-Stars.
It's so great that there are still people doing this kind of music that has been forgotten somehow. What a great discovery I've made today. I was longing for this and I didn't know it
Makes my soul and body dance
Cuban MUsic 100%
Quien disfrutando de esta maravilla en 2019!
Subiéndome el Ánimo con estos maestros
Sim, continuamos amando isso em 2019!

Yo justo en este momento, 1ero de Enero 2020 a las 18:55, disfrutando de esta maravilla
I cant begin to express how happy it makes me feel to listen to this old school SONEO being played beautifully by young people! From PR Orquesta El Macabeo comes to mind immediately. Me encanta este son!!!! NPR tiene Salsa y Sabor ñeta!!!!!
How amazing is to listen to well developed, and built music 🎉
Qué grata Sorpresa !!!No los habia escuchado. El toque del son cubano Genial!!! Los sonidos son armónicos. Excelente interpretación del violín , el trombón, la guitarra, la flauta, la conga, el bajo , los coros y la voz del cantante. Los Hacheros , agrupación con mucho sabor, auténtico sabor latino. Felicitaciones desde Bogotá, Colombia.
muy buena musica. como dijo alguien: en lo puro no hay futuro, la pureza esta en la mezcla, en la mezcla de lo puro que antes de ser puro fue mezcla.
maestreee revolucionariooooooo caballeroooooooo ¡¡¡¡¡
Rafael Beltre Muy bien dicho👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Rafael Beltre + Amen!!!
Damn! Que letras maestro! Tan buena como la musica esta!

Name of the first song?
Latin American music seems to have one commonality: it is simply sustenance for the soul. Whether , Sones, Mambos, Huarachas, Cumbias, Tangos, Milongas, Rancheras, Norteñas, it is simply impossible to not find a direct relation to the value of our cultures and our life-giving rhythms. And Los Hacheros ar a great example of the incredibly talented people from our Great Continent. Gracias por tan delicioso concierto
