Joss Favela: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

Published

August 12, 2025

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music’s Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It’s the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.

Anamaria Sayre | November 3, 2021
Every inch of Joss Favela’s Sinaloa-based, sombrero-shrouded “El Tiny” concert invokes the musical lineage of Mexican Regional music. Mixing soulful vocals with twangy guitars and a classic accordion, he opens with a sweet rendition of a genre staple, love ballad “Pienso en Tí.” Next, he dips into a heartfelt, piano-driven version of a song he wrote for his sister “La Mejor Versión de Mi.” Taking a beat between the tracks, he invites us to partake in the legacy of generations of caballeros that preceded him. “Yo soy de un rancho que se llama Caitime, Sinaloa, Mexico y con esta música crecimos,” he says, “esta música vivimos, y nos gusta porque son nuestras raíces, nuestra cultura, nuestra gente. (I’m from a ranch town called Caitime, Sinaloa, Mexico and we grew up with this music, we live this music and we like it because it’s our roots, our culture, our people.)”

After moving through an upbeat performance of “El Alumno,” Kinky bassist Cesar Pliego Villarreal joins the ranchero ensemble. The Monterrey native uses his bass to infuse a different Mexican tradition on three more classic Regional tracks: “Me Vas a Extranar,” “Bonita” and “Cuando Fuimos Nada.”

As torch-bearers of a complex and beloved sonic tradition, one can imagine there are moments for Mexican Regional stars where preservation precedes performance. At the end of his Tiny Desk, the caballero pauses and allows sweet accordion sounds carrying souls of the past to fill the space.

“Muchas gracias Tiny Desk,” Favela says, “por llevar nuestra música regional a tantos lugares,
y tantos corazones. (Thank you very much Tiny Desk for taking our regional music to so many places, and so many hearts.)”

From Toilet Paper to Survival Kits: Britain’s Emergency Warning Triggers Shopping Frenzy | Gravitas

WION

The UK government’s “Be Ready” resilience campaign has inadvertently sparked panic buying and a surge in retail sales for items like toilet paper and emergency hardware across Britain. Authorities emphasize that the guidance is a long-term preparedness strategy for potential disruptions rather than an indicator of an imminent crisis. Under the advisory, Britons were advised to keep three days’ worth of essential supplies, including bottled water, non-perishable food, cash, a torch, spare batteries and a radio, in case essential services are disrupted.

US Midterms: Trump Shrugs Off Democrats Midterms Gains | WION News

Published

WION

The 2026 US Midterm Elections could reshape the balance of power in the US Senate, with Democrats targeting three key battleground states in an effort to gain seats. The races are drawing national attention as both parties compete for control of Congress. The outcome will play a major role in determining President Donald Trump’s ability to advance his legislative agenda and influence major policy decisions. Official election results will ultimately determine whether Democrats can shift the balance of power in Washington.

US President Donald Trump has vowed to use his presidential veto power if Democrats take control of Congress following the 2026 midterm elections. Trump said he would reject Democratic-backed legislation before eventually negotiating deals with the opposition. He described the veto as a key tool to counter a Democratic-controlled Congress. His remarks signal a potential legislative standoff between the White House and Congress.
