Eladio Carrión is stripping back his music for El Tiny. On Sunday, the Puerto Rican trap star visited NPR Music for a performance that featured special guest, the singer Lia Kali, and a sweet serenade for his mom, who was in the crowd.
Carrión opened his Tiny Desk debut by dropping the bars to his tracks “Gladiador” and “Air France,” backed by his band and trio of background vocalists including Devin Velez, Alexandria Dopson, and Tayler Green. After some claps and cheers, Carrión went straight into the head bop-inducing “Tata” from 2021’s Monarca.
