Music
This Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, NPR Music celebrates artists from all corners of Latinidad with an 'El Tiny' takeover.
Felix Contreras | October 11, 2024
Sheila E. is a portrait of motion.
Not just the movement of her body as one of the worldโs most recognized drummers, but also as a versatile musician who glides easily from genre to genre with the ease of a master. For her time behind the Desk, she assembled a team of musicians to play tracks from her first ever salsa album Bailar.
From the first notes of โRumba Percussion Jam,โ Sheila E.โs bona-fides performing true rumbera (traditional Afro-Cuban drumming and singing) are on full display with her conga chops. The entire set is a reflection of her long standing ability to meld Afro-Caribbean, jazz and funk into a danceable celebration that caps off with shots of tequila for her final track โPlaya Tequila.โ
Any amount of time spent with Sheila E. is a reminder that high caliber musicianship is always first and goes down easier when presented with the joyous energy of an icon.

Lyrics:
From all the memories Iโve got inside my head
I get a little bit higher
Even though I know Iโm not deserving it
I feel a little desire
Every time I open up and lose control
But now Iโm out of one-liners
And still a little bit tired
When thereโs a good thing coming
I turn around instead
Iโm getting good at ignoring it
Is it too late to say that Iโm lost on my own
Itโs like all of its for not on a sinking stone
So Iโll tighten my grip on the last part of me
Is it too late to say I was always afraid
But not today
Remember late 2000โs
Empty bottles and a pencil in my hand
Maybe a part of me doubted
So I never said the things I shouldโve said
It turns out that itโs a challenge
The balance
Iโm probably thinking too much
About it
The sentiment was lost but
I found it along the way
When thereโs a good thing coming
I drown it out instead
I canโt keep it from flooding in
Is it too late to say that Iโm lost on my own
Itโs like all of its for not on a sinking stone
So Iโll tighten my grip on the last part of me
Is it too late to say I was always afraid
But not today
When crashes come calling
Still I keep stalling
Who am I to say
I canโt take it all the way
Is it too late to say that Iโm lost on my own
Itโs like all of its for not on a sinking stone
So Iโll tighten my grip on the last part of me
Is it too late to say I was always afraid
But not today
No not today
