THIS THIS THIS is the reason I don't listen to radio anymore, very very very little few stations play music that worth to listen rather than hear . All the pop music, all the "moment billboard" top 10, has nothing against this . Thanks NPR for promoting so many great artists that otherwise I wouldn't had never know they existed. Listening this while on my lunch and I can't wait to get home to listen more .
I'm agree, a lot of music played are very bad (on Radio stations) and the question will be ... Why the radio stations only play several groups, several songs?. They repeat the music ill the day . We have a lot of new good music available, new groups also.
I am very lucky to be able to pick up a public radio station out of spindale NC ,wncw, that plays this music and alot of other great music you cant hear anywhere else. The mexicats, yo mammas big fat booty band, jj grey and mofro, samantha fish, and southern culture on the skids just to name a few.
I'm a Venezuelan now living in the UK, the second song makes me remember and miss the beaches of my country so much, driving and having fun with warm weather and sunny days, better times we had before the crisis started. Thanks for this Jenny and the Mexicats!
Imagine a nice restaurant with a large patio at the beach. In the sunset, Mexicat is playing for the dining guests there. Warm breezes and their music would be like heaven.
Recuerdo cuando mi banda les abrió en Tijuana por ahí del 2014-15, terminando el show me fui corriendo a acampar con unos amigos, tuve una noche de lo mejor, tocando a casa llena y terminando en medio de la nada, viendo las estrellas..
I love to see women play the trumpet, trombone or any wind instrument! Something so cool about it 💪💪 I love that all of these musicians are 100% into their music. You can see they’re all fully invested 💕
What a great band. All songs are beautiful. But the song "The Song for the UV House Mouse" was wonderful! WOW! Jenny sang in a very special voice, especially the part sung in a low voice was something fantastic. I've never heard anything so beautiful. Congratulations! Great sound NPR Music.
First i want to thank NPR and Tiny Desk team for allowing me to find new amazing artists. And then i want to say that Jenny and the Mexicats, Mon Laferte, Monsieur Perine and Natalia Lafourcade are FREAKING AMAZING!!!! I hope i ll get to see them live one day.... what an amazing group of true artists...
Saw them a couple years ago when visiting my hometown of El Paso, Texas. They were awesome and certainly had the crowd on their feet and dancing. This performance shows their versatility from the big stage to a tiny desk.
Since it's a bit hard to make out the names Jenny says in the last song, the names of the performers are: Jenny Ball - Trumpet/Vocals Jorge Carlos Sapién-Garza - Electric Guitar Icho - Bass Santiago Ortiz-Betanzos - Percussion David Gonzalez Bernardos - Cajon Grant Jefferies - Piano Pantera Mexicat - Acoustic Guitar
I've been listening to this almost everyday during the COVID pandemic. Very happy musica! Get Jenny and the Mexicats back on soon NPR! Mucho Gracia 1....2....3... Caguama!
I'm glad I fell for them on audio first; if I had seen them first I would never be sure my love was based on the music: Jenny is so pretty she melts me. I love the whole group!
I listen to this every day I still never get bored of the melodies and compositions, I don't understand a word of spanish but its divine!! music has no language barrier.. amazing band! everyone is awesome in they own way!!
If you like these guys give THe Cat Empire a listen, and let me know what you think! (They are very diverse so sample a few songs... live shows are amazing.)
This is a great performance, but, as usual, the real star is the audio crew at NPR. I don't know how you get the mix so consistently good in this setting, especially with a mix of acoustic and electric instruments and trumpet and vocals in the same mic, but keep it up.
to me they mix it great everytime so for me that's the standardl ( I understand they don't get enough credit and until I seen people giving them praise i didn't think too much of cause I feel like this audio setup is a standard (or should be) but obviously It's not cause it's an art in itself)... but for me the new band that came to play is still the star of the show...im nitpicking a bit sorry lol
I discovered Jenny and the Mexicats with this video.I love this band so much. I never understood "a voice" as an instrument until I heard Jenny singing. I listen to at least one song a day but that usually leads to many. It's just so hard to stop listening. Every song is great. Long live Jenny and the Mexicats!
It's Monday morning. In my country it's autumn, a horrible day. It's a national holiday but I still have to work. I get out to have lunch. A quick and indigestible lunch. Later, when I finally got back to my house, I found an NPR notification about J & TMC ... I could end a horrible day smiling from ear to ear and dancing ... "A ella no le gusta trabajar..." :-)
Love them! Great energy, they are super nice and talented!!! And she is an angel, yes. She can sing, she can play the trumpet and introducing the band is professional, respectful and nice! Thank you Jenny and the Mexicats!
I just love these guys, they're absolutely fantastic! We play them them at all our family barn parties, Now THERE'S a party until the sun comes up! Keep the music going!
Wow! What an incredible 15 minutes! I need to hear more from this band but until then, I will come back to this video repeatedly! The entire band was on point and a joy to watch and listen to. Thank you!
f***en love this mix or beat, soul, and good vibes of the lovely world. love seeing a base of where lots can enjoy many, many skills on the art of instruments and the vocals ranging in many stars here.
Thank God for NPR Music and Tiny Desk - it exposes you to so much wonderful and completely unexpected music. I've been playing music since the 1960s and it takes something really good to excite me. This is the ultimate feel good music - and Jenny is hot, to say the least!
Wowww que excelente presentación en este espacio de Jenny and The Mexicans y vaya que varios grupos muy importantes se han presentado, que chingon. MX/ES/INGL
Really enjoy this tiny desk concert every time I watch it. I have lost count as to how many times. True professionalism shines through as I see how all of you are lost in the music performance and singing zones! Best Wishes.
Love them, so unique, so different! What a mixture, wow! fun music, they are tight sounding. I can't imagine why anyone would give anything but a thumbs UP! What's not to love? They definitely put on a "show", they are professionals!
I have been to 2 concerts already, it's a FANTASTIC vibe people, totally recommend going, I'd be there as many times as they come close to where I live.
Are the same 500 trolls thumbs downing every incredible Tiny Desk Concert on youtube? Can't imagine not loving something about this- the perky guitars, the perfect percussion, the impossibly good recording, the stellar background vocals- and of course the perfectly voiced Jenny and her amazing trumpet. What.
Their deep knowledge/ understanding of music and technical skill allows them to be incredibly charismatic and laid back at the moment of truth (playing live), with no nervousness at all...
Just discovered this band today thanks to NPR. What a fantastic ensemble and sound! Jenny is a captivating and very talented frontwoman that is not overshadowing the band, their sound truly shines and comes together, very subtly, more than the sum of it's parts. Amazing audio as always, NPR!
You people must watch them live, i had the oportunity in Parral Chihuahua, they were amazing, they can make you feel that energy that make you dance all night long!
People shouldn't be allowed to be this beautiful and also this talented - leave something for the rest of us. Jokes aside this performance is so refreshing and exciting.
I just can't stop watching this,.....again and again and again.....They KICKED A$$ with their performance here! ......and then there's Jenny to add waaaaaaay more appeal!
@@MM-111 ‘horn’ is very commonly used across the world to broadly label brass instruments, particularly trumpets. But of course, it is certainly not a bugle or French horn.
I get a sence of street music with this band, in most the positive way! Like someone mixed up guys from the sidewalks of Barselona, London and New Orleans and gave them a proper exposure as many of them deserve... Great stuff!
@Sal Lopez Never been there, I guess they have some good street music? Anyhow, Mexican vibe is obvious, I was just comparing to some other places and influences. Cheers!
Ö _ I saw them live in Tijuana, Mex. Got to meet them back stage for a sec. They were prett drunk and unengaged but they're awesome performers! I'm an OG fan of theirs and invite as many people as possible to love them too!!
This is my favorite TDC, which says a lot. What a fun set. I've had dozens of views, like so many other folks have. It never gets old. It's even MUCH MORE better with a Kawama. 😁😎
Sigo su carrera desde que empezaban, son de las bandas que no les hace justicia el marketing, ojalá pronto logren el reconocimiento que merecen xq calidad hay y de sobra... animo!!

College radio usually has a great diversity of music. These guys are fantastic.

Jajjajajajjaja
I'm a Venezuelan now living in the UK, the second song makes me remember and miss the beaches of my country so much, driving and having fun with warm weather and sunny days, better times we had before the crisis started. Thanks for this Jenny and the Mexicats!
This is why I love Tiny Desk Concerts. I would very likely never have seen this otherwise and my life was poorer before I had heard them.
Imagine a nice restaurant with a large patio at the beach. In the sunset, Mexicat is playing for the dining guests there. Warm breezes and their music would be like heaven.
I lived for 2 years in Serbia. Somehow Mexicans und Serbs have a lot in common. Every Mexican should be invited to a serbian marriage. Crazy stuff.
Recuerdo cuando mi banda les abrió en Tijuana por ahí del 2014-15, terminando el show me fui corriendo a acampar con unos amigos, tuve una noche de lo mejor, tocando a casa llena y terminando en medio de la nada, viendo las estrellas..
De México, Madrid y Londres 🔥🔥🔥!!!!!
Me encantan.
Griss Romero Griss soy tu fan
Yo también soy tu fan!
Y de los mexicats
Porque de madrid si el.grupo es.mexicano y solo ella es inglesa?
betincb David (percusionista) es de Madrid
David (el que toca el cajon) es Madrileño. Ademas, formaron en Madrid.
Tiny desk is the best thing on UA-cam
I come to this sight to get my musical fix now. Thanks NPR for keeping real music alive.
A pretty Britt who plays trumpet and sings in Spanish with a Mexican band; this is waayyyyy too fun!!! Awesome!
Vivia en Mexico o otro pais que habla espanol. Yo creo
There is also Spanish talent
british mexican and spanish talent
MAAAAAAAAAANNN!!!
long cornet if I'm not mistaken
Why can’t I give it a like one more time?? I never get tired of this guys!!
I love to see women play the trumpet, trombone or any wind instrument! Something so cool about it 💪💪 I love that all of these musicians are 100% into their music. You can see they’re all fully invested 💕
Jenny play trumpet.
8:00 am wow this is wonderful 😍
It's all been said below but I am blown away by the quality of the sound. Craziness
What a great band. All songs are beautiful. But the song "The Song for the UV House Mouse" was wonderful! WOW! Jenny sang in a very special voice, especially the part sung in a low voice was something fantastic. I've never heard anything so beautiful. Congratulations! Great sound NPR Music.
Completely agree, thus must be one of the most under rated songs in the whole youtube
@@emens0450 You're right.
First i want to thank NPR and Tiny Desk team for allowing me to find new amazing artists.
And then i want to say that Jenny and the Mexicats, Mon Laferte, Monsieur Perine and Natalia Lafourcade are FREAKING AMAZING!!!!
I hope i ll get to see them live one day.... what an amazing group of true artists...
X2
Monsier Perine are Colombians and Mon Laferte is Chilean... Just Natalia is Mexican.
ugh yes Lafourcade blew me away as well.
If you like them, I recommend checking out Carla Morrison’s Tiny Desk concert
This might be my favorite concert from that tiny desk.
Saw them a couple years ago when visiting my hometown of El Paso, Texas. They were awesome and certainly had the crowd on their feet and dancing. This performance shows their versatility from the big stage to a tiny desk.
Since it's a bit hard to make out the names Jenny says in the last song, the names of the performers are:

Icho - Bass
Santiago Ortiz-Betanzos - Percussion

Pantera Mexicat - Acoustic Guitar
You don't find many jenny's in this world, what a brilliant combination of talents, thoroughly enjoyed this.
This performance never fails to make me happy.
I'm jealous - they're having much more fun performing than anyone listening! That brings tears of joy to my eyes.
I've been listening to this almost everyday during the COVID pandemic. Very happy musica! Get Jenny and the Mexicats back on soon NPR! Mucho Gracia 1....2....3... Caguama!
These musicians exhibit the sheer joy of making excellent music.
Great to watch!
Awesome musicians all the way around. However Jenny and her trumpet playing is out of this world!! Just love this band!!
Thank you to all those great wonderful and creative artists out there. Your art makes this world a better place for sure.
You guys are what have been waiting for...mexamerican...si signor
Saw them for free live in El Paso, loved them. They sound great live.
I'm glad I fell for them on audio first; if I had seen them first I would never be sure my love was based on the music: Jenny is so pretty she melts me. I love the whole group!
Was thinking the same exact thing. The music is awesome but its hard to keep my eyes off of Jenny. Shes 🔥🔥🔥
I am so jealous of that trumpet tone!
me too
Envious!!!!
I'm jealous of the trumpet, never mind its tone.
You guys are fantastic....comme to France and we will worship you...
Love that tone Jenny gets out of that trumpet. Gorgeous!
I listen to this every day I still never get bored of the melodies and compositions, I don't understand a word of spanish but its divine!! music has no language barrier.. amazing band! everyone is awesome in they own way!!
chetan pardeshi she sings in English too!
If you like these guys give THe Cat Empire a listen, and let me know what you think! (They are very diverse so sample a few songs... live shows are amazing.)
She sings about killing pakistanis.
This is a great performance, but, as usual, the real star is the audio crew at NPR. I don't know how you get the mix so consistently good in this setting, especially with a mix of acoustic and electric instruments and trumpet and vocals in the same mic, but keep it up.
+Jeremy Smith yea I'm always looking at their mics to see what they do and which they use. I love the KEXP recordings too, they also come out amazing.
to me they mix it great everytime so for me that's the standardl ( I understand they don't get enough credit and until I seen people giving them praise i didn't think too much of cause I feel like this audio setup is a standard (or should be) but obviously It's not cause it's an art in itself)... but for me the new band that came to play is still the star of the show...im nitpicking a bit sorry lol
it's called post-production
For real!
She never points the trumpet at her vocal mic. Great sound.
##### oooh alles wunderbare Talente -- danke Jenny und Kollegen ----danke auch an NPR Musik---viele Grüße aus Deutschland !!#####
I discovered Jenny and the Mexicats with this video.I love this band so much. I never understood "a voice" as an instrument until I heard Jenny singing. I listen to at least one song a day but that usually leads to many. It's just so hard to stop listening. Every song is great. Long live Jenny and the Mexicats!
Same here, I found them about 3 months ago and can’t stop listening to this great music. They are an amazing band!
What an awesomeeeee band and the lead singer steals the show... Absolutely!!!Loads of Love to you Dearest Jenny ❤️❤️💐💐More power to you 👍👍
It's Monday morning. In my country it's autumn, a horrible day. It's a national holiday but I still have to work. I get out to have lunch. A quick and indigestible lunch. Later, when I finally got back to my house, I found an NPR notification about J & TMC ... I could end a horrible day smiling from ear to ear and dancing ... "A ella no le gusta trabajar..." :-)
And by the way... Jenny... What a woman!!!
Music has the ability to turn any day around! Hope all is well, my friend
damnnnn 😆🤘 sigues !!
Thank you for taking me way far from the boring mainstream. Amazing sound and originality
Jenny has buckets of charisma, and the music is totally fab. Love this to bits.
How could anyone not love this band!? They're just wonderful. They just make you smile and smile and want more! 👍👍👍👍👍
They are incredible Viva Mexico, Ole España (Mi Tierra), Go London
A huevo chinga!
I dont understand why anyone would give this a thumbs down.
Whenever you get the range of a band like this live, it's a priviledge
This bank is one of my best discoveries ever. i smile very time I watch them. I am in love with Jenny. The guitarist is awesome too. lol
Love them! Great energy, they are super nice and talented!!! And she is an angel, yes. She can sing, she can play the trumpet and introducing the band is professional, respectful and nice! Thank you Jenny and the Mexicats!
I'm literally clapping hands in front of my computer. GREAT band, GREAT performance, GREAT recording. Thanks Tiny desk!!!
I just love these guys, they're absolutely fantastic! We play them them at all our family barn parties, Now THERE'S a party until the sun comes up! Keep the music going!
They are incredible!!!!!! Especially love the second song! What a voice!
I knew this would be fun just by the name of the band. Thank you NPR.
found another fantastic band on NPR. impressive as always. thanks!!
Esa morra tiene un ángel que no te la crees!! Todos tiran buena vibra y son excelentes músicos!
Wow! What an incredible 15 minutes! I need to hear more from this band but until then, I will come back to this video repeatedly! The entire band was on point and a joy to watch and listen to. Thank you!
Hi NPR please ask Jenny to come to winnipeg manitoba and play at the winnipeg folk festival in 2022 thanks
Wow. I'm loving this vibe. Just what we need right now as an antidote to the gloom of the world. Thanks Tiny Desk.
Thanks for bringing this fabulous group to Tiny Desk! First I've seen them, really appreciate the introduction!
f***en love this mix or beat, soul, and good vibes of the lovely world. love seeing a base of where lots can enjoy many, many skills on the art of instruments and the vocals ranging in many stars here.
Desde la Patagonia saludos para todos: refrescantes, sobretodo la fusión en castellano!
Best Thing a girl Trumpet! Ive ever seen!! outstanding player ! Wow! wOW!
Uauuu, the perfect mix, espanol, english, world music is it...E olha que eu sou brasileiro e essa mistura me tocou profundamente. Virei fã.
Cosmopolitismo

Kind of like the old KDKB in phx. The Bone Mommy was the dj. My introduction to "other" music.
Wowww que excelente presentación en este espacio de Jenny and The Mexicans y vaya que varios grupos muy importantes se han presentado, que chingon. MX/ES/INGL
Jenny, I will follow you and your band wherever you go. You're that talented!
Dios! Esa guera está pudriéndose de divina y bella! Y de paso tiene una voz que eriza.
This is what diversity looks like and sounds like! Just wonderful!
Really enjoy this tiny desk concert every time I watch it. I have lost count as to how many times. True professionalism shines through as I see how all of you are lost in the music performance and singing zones! Best Wishes.

Brilliant NPR sound. Everything clear and sounding Superb. Yo Jenny & the Mexicats come to Christchurch NZ
This was a quality performance by an excellent band. They deserve success.

One of the best performances I've heard from this amazing band.
I’m always open to new music . Feeling this very much
These songs are timeless so good!
If this doesn’t make you smile your dead inside!! Seriously fun to watch and listen!
Found so much good music thanks to Tiny Desk.
Not sure I’ve ever had more fun in an office, especially with such a tiny desk!
VIVA!
Interesting band, and she is so amazing speaks spanish like a native, and is so beautiful.
IKR!!!!
You people must watch them live, i had the oportunity in Parral Chihuahua, they were amazing, they can make you feel that energy that make you dance all night long!
People shouldn't be allowed to be this beautiful and also this talented - leave something for the rest of us. Jokes aside this performance is so refreshing and exciting.
Yessssss! @PabloYPablo gracias por mostrar esto!
I have to admit, I clicked because of Jenny, but I stayed for the talent. Wow...
I just can't stop watching this,.....again and again and again.....They KICKED A$$ with their performance here! ......and then there's Jenny to add waaaaaaay more appeal!
Jenny's tone on that horn is exquisite! What a totally unique band! I love 'em.
absolutely. the harmonies could use a bit of work though.
Agree, a great band.
But this is not a Horn.
This is a Trumpet.
Don't you see the difference between the two instruments?
@@MM-111 ‘horn’ is very commonly used across the world to broadly label brass instruments, particularly trumpets. But of course, it is certainly not a bugle or French horn.
Espectaculares. From Spain, Mexico and England!
Perfect to lift a rainy Bank Holiday in England! Thanks!
such a fun group, and Jenny... lovely voice, terrific fun!!
Absolutely love this. Thanks Tiny Desk, you strike again.
I get a sence of street music with this band, in most the positive way! Like someone mixed up guys from the sidewalks of Barselona, London and New Orleans and gave them a proper exposure as many of them deserve... Great stuff!
@Sal Lopez Never been there, I guess they have some good street music? Anyhow, Mexican vibe is obvious, I was just comparing to some other places and influences. Cheers!
This band is really good and refreshing. Real music from real players.
One of the best tiny desk concerts ever ❤️
Incredible Vibe and energy from these!!! Immediately added to the list of people I need to see. They are living, breathing sunshine!
Ö _ I saw them live in Tijuana, Mex. Got to meet them back stage for a sec. They were prett drunk and unengaged but they're awesome performers! I'm an OG fan of theirs and invite as many people as possible to love them too!!
Ö _ yea they gooood, wonder where they got Jenny from.
Dont know why, getting the Moloko irish Vibe from her, just instinct,doesnt matter.
woody johnson they all met in Spain.
No doubt they would love the Irish music
BRAVABRAVISIMA!!!!! Muchas gracias por vuestra musica. Sois una banda fabulosa. Saludos desde Gipuzkoa!!!
Cada vez que veo y escucho el video soy felíz.Graaaacias....🤸
This is my favorite TDC, which says a lot. What a fun set. I've had dozens of views, like so many other folks have. It never gets old. It's even MUCH MORE better with a Kawama. 😁😎
Damn, they're full of energy. And the singer is just gorgeous!
Ahhh! Wish I could like this more than once! Me encanta la fusión
Sigo su carrera desde que empezaban, son de las bandas que no les hace justicia el marketing, ojalá pronto logren el reconocimiento que merecen xq calidad hay y de sobra... animo!!
love them to bits...now, im searching more of their live shows!
