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 worldโ€™s 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 โ€œRumba Percussion Jam,โ€ Sheila E.โ€™s 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 โ€œPlaya 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.

SET LIST

โ€œMi Amorโ€

Lyrics:
From all the memories Iโ€™ve got inside my head
I get a little bit higher
Even though I know Iโ€™m not deserving it
I feel a little desire
Every time I open up and lose control
But now Iโ€™m out of one-liners
And still a little bit tired

When thereโ€™s a good thing coming
I turn around instead
Iโ€™m getting good at ignoring it

Is it too late to say that Iโ€™m lost on my own
Itโ€™s like all of its for not on a sinking stone
So Iโ€™ll tighten my grip on the last part of me
Is it too late to say I was always afraid
But not today

Remember late 2000โ€™s
Empty bottles and a pencil in my hand
Maybe a part of me doubted
So I never said the things I shouldโ€™ve said

It turns out that itโ€™s a challenge
The balance
Iโ€™m probably thinking too much
About it
The sentiment was lost but
I found it along the way

When thereโ€™s a good thing coming
I drown it out instead
I canโ€™t keep it from flooding in

Is it too late to say that Iโ€™m lost on my own
Itโ€™s like all of its for not on a sinking stone
So Iโ€™ll 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 canโ€™t take it all the way

Is it too late to say that Iโ€™m lost on my own
Itโ€™s like all of its for not on a sinking stone
So Iโ€™ll 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
