Wouldn't "si" mean they play all there songs according to the logic of the meme P.S. Sorry Daniel my phone doesn't allow me to put apostrophes above the i. You will have to endure it..
Make no mistake, this is timba. It has all the makings and all of the gears. It starts with a preview of the montuno section and then it goes into the main body of the song. From then on: 4:07 - Congo, conguito coro. 4:27 - bloque into next section 4:30 - this section is commonly called "Presión" o "Pedal". All instruments drop out except for the piano, which enters with a new, exciting part + Pedrito's voice. It generates tension. 4:43 - New coro ("yo tuve un sueño...") all instruments enter on marcha arriba - features cowbell - this is the call and response montuno section featured in most afro-cuban music, which consists of a "coro" and a response by the lead singer. 5:09 - mambo, percussion stays on marcha but the keyboard plays the part of a horn section 5:30 - masacote: the percussion turns exciting and more improvisational 5:50 - yet another new coro ("vamo a ver si la cuenta a ti te da") back on marcha arriba, call and response montuno 6:07 - bass drops out briefly (along with the percussion) and then comes back on sliding up and down the fretboard. The percussion gets wilder. This section is called "bomba". this is one of the hallmarks of timba music and it is one of the main differences between salsa and timba. Bomba rarely -if ever- happens on salsa. 6:27 - back on marcha arriba - with plenty of efectos (syncronized stops and breaks) 6:47 - piano solo, band turns the dynamic down. 7:50 - HUGE pedal there. Issacito delivers a big piano tumbao. Tension mounts. 8:11 - after the bloques (synchronized percussion break) straight into bomba. Tension releases. This is the part where dancers go wild. Efecto at 8:24 8:32 - Marcha arriba again. Issac keeps on soloing. 8:43 - Leitmotiv bass and piano. Jhair (and Pedro sometimes) plays 12/8 against 4/4. Pedro soloes. 9:44 - Marcha arriba but Pedro keeps on soloing! Bass and Piano keep playing the motive. 10:40 - Unaccompanied conga solo 13:33 - New piano tumbao. Presión. 13:53 - Bombazo. 14:08 - Another leitmotive. This one from the intro. Pedrito and Jhair play 12/8 against it though. 14:14 - marcha arriba. same coro as intro. 14:30 - big bloque to end. Nice bookending effect. I've actually heard this live and they add more coros at the end there. So, this is actually a "shortened for NPR" version! Hope this helps for anyone curious enough to follow all the insane twists and turns of modern Cuban arranging. One thing I'd like to get across is how Cubans divide the band horizontally between rhythm and harmony. Like you could have the coros and horns go uninterrupted through sections but the percussion could change underneath (entering bomba for instance). This is all very modular and that's how they keep the songs fresh live eve when they hit the ten minute mark: adding new coros (not on the studio version) and using the resources of pedal and bomba to generate and release tension. Another thing: bloques vs efectos. Bloques are written out as part of the arrangement and efectos are more of a rhythmic punctuation developed by the band over time as they play more live. They are not exclusive to the song. If you get to see Pedrito live, you will notice he does the brief sudden stops in most of the songs.
Thank you for your vast knowledge. Listening to it, it is obviously intricate but flows so naturally. Timba is a brilliant form and they seem masters of it. Best from Canada
This is the best comment, and should be stickied at the top! Thank you for describing that so well. I listened to it again while reading your comments. Thank you.
I love Pedrito man!! I play congas and I remember last year i was playing with my group in a small bar in Union city, nj. When pedrito walked in for a quick bite after having performed at B.B. Kings in nyc. My jaw dropped, i finished the song being super nervous, then met him and what a humble musician he is!! He sat down with us and played Chan Chan with a crazy ass solo on my congas. Love this man.
It's freaking Timba, probably the most difficult music you can play (besides some crazy Indian quarter tone stuff). The time lines are out of this world!!! The piano player is actually the son of legendary singer Isaac Delgado!
Cool! Yes, is the piano player the same one who came with Issac to summer stage in New York City in 1998? I was there and boy was that a special day! People hadn’t really heard Timba much yet, so when they started the first song just with keyboards and not even a Clave, then they started adding things in and purposely left out the Clave for a while, the audience was very silent until the clave was indicated and then they broke out in this incredible cheer of appreciation and amazement, the concert continued to gain intensity steadily till the end, just great! Also the best Timba Bass-playing I’ve ever heard from Alain Perez. He owns that stuff! Also later they came to play at SOBs downtown (where I was that Recording Engineer downstairs) and I’ve got to say the piano keyboard work was out of this world, quite almost experimental sounding at times and even “psychedelic” and it’s effect. Would he have been in those bands? Was around 1999 2000
@@TiqueO6 no, when Issac played Central Park in 97, the piano player was Ivan "Melon" Lewis. By 98, the piano was taken over by Pepe Rivero. Issac's entire band defected in 98 in Madrid. Both Melon and Pepe live there still, both formidable jazz players. Issac's son entered his father's band in 2004-ish and played with him for a while when Issac defected to the US. Now he flies back and forth.
@@JuanCarruyo Hi Juan, thanks for the info! Maybe I had my date wrong, I’ll listen to my recordings again for the announcements. It was definitely Alain on bass though. Would he have been there both in 97 and 98?
@satellite wish. salsa is what americans called the many cuban and caribbean genres like merengue rumba son etc... because they couldnt tell the difference
The chemistry between Pedrito and Jhair Sala (bongo/bell) is ridiculous!!! They make it look really easy, but there's a lot of stuff happening there that is pure magic. I've watched this thing about 25 time straight (no kidding lol). Also, listen to the amazing phrase Pedrito plays at 9:02. RIDICULOUS phrasing! Love it Tiny desk keep them coming!
Pretty sure Jhair studied under Pedrito. I've caught a few live shows over the years and it's always killer music, the original pianist took the group to a different level, but every member has been masterful.
Juan Carlito Mendoza Was referring to Ariacne. Have seen them live 3 times twice with her on keys and both performances were extraordinary and stellar!
pedrito is the evolution of latin music. Is the master of time, singing and playing at the same time like all the components of your group.. few know the difficulty, amazing. thanx so much for the video and for transmitting culture.
WOW, Amazing musicianship by the master Pedrito Martinez. Keyboard Player Isaac Delgado Jr was incredible, sic solo and filling in the horn parts. The timing and precision of the fills and rhythm section is unbelievable. Just beautiful all the way around. Full sound of a big band with only four musicians. Very hard to do. Props to Tiny Desk for their intercultural talent.
Wow ese comentario suena al revés, Edwin Bonilla es bueno pero definitivamente Pedrito está en otro nivel otra galaxia que el gran Bonilla nunca a visitado y admiro mucho a Edwin Bonilla y si le preguntas el diría lo mismo. Pedrito esta en otro nivel la toca la canta y la baila como nadie.
porque no el seru giran.... es mas bien una timba suite antes que una opera. dream theater no demuestra espontaneidad mas alla de sus grandes demostraciones de virtuosismo
and that's the intro of a new song from Pedrito, "Yo si quiero estar contigo" is like a hip hop/reggaeton/timba song that explodes at the end, check it out in these year videos on youtube!
Pedrito's smile is worth a million bucks! I so love this band! It's just what I needed today to raise my vibration! What would the world be without music? NADA!🎵❤🤍
Me parece Mambo excelente; aunque en el fondo es una fusión de varios géneros musicales, estos jóvenes músicos,se las traen,el Montuno en el piano es muy bueno.
Tiny Desk we just wanted to thank you for all you do! You inspired us to do something like this in our living room and we are loving serving the Minneapolis, MN music scene!
As a Latin musician who’s played in the same circles and often touch the same stages, these dudes are dope. Pedrito has been on fire for years. Sebastian is a multi instrumentalist and arranger. I wish they brought a horn section with them though.
Growing up in Northern New Jersey there was no Mexican Or Cuban food or culture. I’ve discovered all this when I moved to south Florida. Now I enjoy Afro Cuban music while sipping my Cafe Conlechee .
Esai Hernandez yea man def my family is in perth amboy and elizabeth, v large latino communities, also all of hudson county, there are just so many spots throughout the state.
Adan Carlo I’m sure your correct but were I grew up there was no Jews no People of color as an Italian I was a minority most everyone was Dutch . It was very Waspy but Jersey has ethnic sections My section was pure Anglo American
Damn, just when I was about to go to sleep, I watched this... and then went back to listen to the solo 4 times. Holy f'ing sh... I don't think I'm going to sleep for days now.
Man! As a cuban I'm soo glad that these 4 guys represent some of the best timba/latiz jazz musicians in the cuban music scene at this moment! Pedrito is one of the best percussionists I' ve ever seen performing. So talented and such a great performer! Que Viva la Música Cubana!
Mi pregunta es sencilla. El que puso q no le gusto, lo puede hacer mejor? si es asi subalo. Pedrito esta fuera de liga, es el mejor percusionista del mundo, a recogerce conooooooooooooooooooo
@@alexnunez4574 actually they didn't. They just did it differently. Have you heard of jazz, gospel, rock and roll or r&b? Those are all music types directly influenced by the descendants of enslaved Africans.
Guys........CUBAN MUSIC....Specifically, TIMBA CUBANA! This in fact has more American influence than African. About 150 years (or more) away from Africa. African influence BUT not at all African music. Not Latin, Not African. Cuban. Dont know why the fanaticada keep on making this rhythms what they are not. Regards.
#1 NPR needs to evaluate their ventilation in this office. #2 I saw him live and wish this sound engineer was working there too. Clearly hearing every instrument Pedrito is playing is just great.
This brother!!!! I saw him in 2012 at Mountain Jam music festival and immediately became fan. Do yourself a favor and seek out his other UA-cam videos whether you consider yourself a fan of Latino beats or not. Such a talent as both a percussionist and band leader. Thank you so much for making my morning, Tiny Desk. (yes, I'm still gushing!)
And when in NYC please come to Pedrito's Thursday-night residency . (when he is in town) at Ginny's . Supper Club/Red Rooster in Harlem at 125th St and Lenox Ave
Descubri hoy a Pedrito, imposible no sonreir todo el tiempo, mi cuerpo no parava al son altamente emocional y matemático de estre grupo. "vamos a ver si la cuenta a ti te va"... a mi me va 1000%
Superb performance. Been a fan of Pedrito for a long time. Although the performance was amazing, what I found impressive was that at @10:12, if you pay attention, the keyboard came in early, and although Pedrito is soloing and keeping the tempo with the hi-hat, he noticed and shout the keyboard melody in the right tempo to get the player back on track. This guy is on another level!!
Who's going to see them at the Cuban American Music Festival on May 19? Because I know I am going for sure. Already bought my tickets and it's during my birthday weekend , shoot say nothing but a word
virtuosidad y talento junto.. pero amigo mio eso no lo entienden los europeos si lo que quieres es vender, pues no venderas nada eso es un piocadillo de musica que todos no la entienden.. con todo mis respeto,, pero eso no vende el esta metido solo en su mundo y no piensa en nada mas... en conclusion eso no sirve al menos para aqui en Europa..
NPR: We have a 15 minutes set, which songs you want to perform?
Pedrito: Si
*Sí (sorry for being _that_ person)
I laughed out loud at this
Wouldn't "si" mean they play all there songs according to the logic of the meme
P.S. Sorry Daniel my phone doesn't allow me to put apostrophes above the i. You will have to endure it..
"si" (sorry for my bad spanish)
@@stvia It probably does let you put the mark above the i, if you hold down the "i" key, it will give you a list of accent marks to choose from.

One of the best things I've heard in a while!
amazing.. congas is very wonderful.. i like latin music.. fantastic.. thank you very so much.. i enjoy it music..😊
Yes! I've been following Pedrito's band for years. So happy they've done Tiny Desk. Thanks for inviting great artists like this!!
Que corto el vídeo, quería ver más!!!!
wow very good music
#1 NPR needs to evaluate their ventilation in this office.
#2 I saw him live and wish this sound engineer was working there too. Clearly hearing every instrument Pedrito is playing is just great.
so authentic and the stops are so tight.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
12:17 - imagine getting a massage like that!
Thanks a lot npr music. The world needs to know what afrocuban jazz and timba are!!! MÚSICA CUBANA🇨🇺
This brother!!!! I saw him in 2012 at Mountain Jam music festival and immediately became fan. Do yourself a favor and seek out his other UA-cam videos whether you consider yourself a fan of Latino beats or not. Such a talent as both a percussionist and band leader. Thank you so much for making my morning, Tiny Desk. (yes, I'm still gushing!)
I apologize if it seems that I'm discounting the rest of his band, because I'm not. They are fantastic too!! :D
And when in NYC please come to Pedrito's Thursday-night residency . (when he is in town) at Ginny's . Supper Club/Red Rooster in Harlem at 125th St and Lenox Ave
@@hudsonpes Thanks for the hot tip!!!
Descubri hoy a Pedrito, imposible no sonreir todo el tiempo, mi cuerpo no parava al son altamente emocional y matemático de estre grupo. "vamos a ver si la cuenta a ti te va"... a mi me va 1000%
This kind of music gives me so many memories of my dad😊
man can't stop playing congas - 15 min
What a groovy team!
i recently started listening to afro-cuban music (mainly because of the percussion) and god, pedrito and the band are just godlike
i just vibed to the whole video! perfection
EL PIANISTA ES UN FUEGOOO!!! CANDELA DIOS MIO ESAS MANOS!
Probably one of the best conga players alive today. Love Pedrito!
This performance was breathtaking - absolutely brilliant. Shout out also to the sound engineer 🤙🤙🤙
Superb performance. Been a fan of Pedrito for a long time. Although the performance was amazing, what I found impressive was that at @10:12, if you pay attention, the keyboard came in early, and although Pedrito is soloing and keeping the tempo with the hi-hat, he noticed and shout the keyboard melody in the right tempo to get the player back on track. This guy is on another level!!
I never noticed that! Wow!
Who's going to see them at the Cuban American Music Festival on May 19? Because I know I am going for sure. Already bought my tickets and it's during my birthday weekend , shoot say nothing but a word
sin duda cuba baila , se inspira e inova . felicidades por tanto amor a la tierra y al espiritu. un abrazo grande a todos .
El guitarrista es uruguayo!
Estos son mis hermanos cubanos...el verdadero SON🎶👏👏👏🎵👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is truly amazing! The Anderson .Paak of the Afro Cuban music. They bring the same enjoyment, smile and energy to their music. Just great!
Such a great commemt yours!👌🏾
virtuosidad y talento junto.. pero amigo mio eso no lo entienden los europeos si lo que quieres es vender, pues no venderas nada
eso es un piocadillo de musica que todos no la entienden.. con todo mis respeto,, pero eso no vende el esta metido solo en su mundo y no piensa en nada mas... en conclusion eso no sirve al menos para aqui en Europa..
Es que el estilo de pedro siempre ha sido ese, nada comercial y piezas muy sofisticadas para el oído.
