Los Rivera Destino, the entertaining Puerto Rican band that reflects the vibrant
colors of their native island in their playful approach to storytelling,
continues their remarkable ascent as one of the most promising new groups in
Latin music in 2022, today making their appearance on NPR Music’s renowned
Tiny Desk (Home) Concert series.
The acclaimed online concert series has seen countless
up-and-coming and iconic artists deliver unforgettable sets that have reached
millions of viewers around the world, and for Los Rivera Destino, this
incredible opportunity marks an important new step in their rapidly growing
career. Fans will be able to enjoy special performances of the band’s
irresistible songs “Castigo” and “Mis Amigos,” in addition to a
fun presentation of their most recent single “Edgar Allan Poe;” and they
are sure to flip for a delicious rendition of the group’s previously unreleased
song “Pancakes,” which leaps from the stove to the stage to make its
public debut in this showcase as well.
Los Rivera Destino first caught the world’s attention in 2018 with
their viral bolero interpretation of the Latin trap hit “Te Boté” and
have developed a strong rapport with listeners around the world through popular
collaborations like “Flor” with fellow Boricua Benito Martinez (Bad
Bunny), which prompted their career to flourish and to date has accumulated
more than 10M plays on Spotify alone and nearly 16M views on YouTube. Since
then, the progressive band has continued to hypnotize audiences everywhere with
their unique brand of bolero music that merges love and comedy while providing
poignant commentary on relevant socio-political issues and current events, all
filtered through the humorous lens of satire.
Los Rivera Destino también se preparan para
lanzar a mediados de abril su esperado álbum debut "BESITOS Y BESITAS",
un impresionante proyecto tan brillante como el nutrido sol puertorriqueño que
saciará la sed de los fans de todos los rincones del planeta como un
refrescante puñetazo tropical infundido de rock mezclado con sonidos clásicos y
contemporáneos. Canalizando influencias de legendarios iconos puertorriqueños
como Calle 13 y Tego Calderón y de las modernas estrellas del trap Anuel AA y
Bad Bunny, el popular grupo de comedia musical argentino Les Luthiers, e
incluso el grunge psicoactivo de la banda de rock estadounidense Nirvana, el
álbum que mezcla géneros contará con una variedad de artistas invitados
sorpresa, entre ellos Pedro Capó, y mantendrá una reconfortante sensación de
familiaridad al tiempo que desafiará a los oyentes a pensar en el mundo que les
rodea de nuevas maneras.
