Get tickets for the Tiny Desk Contest on the road in Seattle at KEXP's Gathering Space on Sunday, June 12!: nprpresents.org Hailing from Boston, Mass., Alisa Amador is a singer-songwriter with a powerful voice whose music explores jazz, funk and folk styles, all rooted in the spirit of the Latin music she grew up with. Amador impressed the Tiny Desk Contest judges with her tender performance of “Milonga accidental,” which she calls “an ode to in-between-ness – to having several identities at once, to feeling split between cultures and languages.” After a two-year hiatus, NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest is heading back on the road! Join us on Sunday, June 12 at KEXP's Gathering Space in Seattle for a one-of-a-kind concert with the 2022 Contest winner, Alisa Amador, plus some amazing Tiny Desk Contest artists in Washington.
