Panteón Rococó — Tiny Desk Concert (NPR), 2026

Published on October 30, 2026 by

Tiny Desk Concert by Panteón Rococó recorded for NPR Music and published on 1 October 2026, as part of the El Tiny series celebrating Latin Music Month. A Mexican ska institution since the mid-1990s, the Mexico City band brings together horns, guitars and committed vocals in a festive, political repertoire blending ska, reggae, punk and Latin rhythms. Crammed behind NPR’s legendary desk in Washington, the collective turns the hushed space into an acoustic and electric fiesta, proof of its stage power even in a reduced format. The Tiny Desk capture, renowned for its intimacy and sound quality, highlights the richness of the arrangements and the fervour of a band that has marked generations of Spanish-speaking audiences. Fans will recognise the spirit of emblematic songs such as 1993. This filmed live concert is an ideal entry point into Latin American ska and reggae, and a fine example of NPR’s openness to music in Spanish. One to savour for the infectious energy of Panteón Rococó.
