Bad Bunny’s Tiny Desk Rumors Are Heating Up and We Are Ready

Bad Bunny’s Tiny Desk Rumors Are Heating Up and We Are Ready

For years, fans have been waiting for Bad Bunny to step into the iconic Tiny Desk Concert setup and deliver a one-of-a-kind acoustic performance. And now, it looks like it might finally be happening.

Rumors started swirling after leaked photos surfaced online, showing Bad Bunny inside what appears to be the offices of NPR Music, home to the famous Tiny Desk Concerts. Some images even seem to show him mid-performance, leading many to believe that the Puerto Rican superstar has already recorded his long-awaited set.

So, is it real? When is it coming out? And what could we expect from a Bad Bunny Tiny Desk? Here’s everything we know so far.

The Clues That Started It All

Bad Bunny has been having a massive year. His latest album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, he’s been selling out stadiums worldwide, and now, it seems like he’s about to add another huge milestone to his career: a Tiny Desk performance.

The buzz started when fans saw photos of Bad Bunny in what appeared to be NPR’s headquarters. Some pictures even showed him in front of a microphone, which was enough to send the internet into a frenzy. If this is accurate, it means we might be just days or weeks away from watching Bad Bunny in a stripped-down, intimate setting, something that’s pretty much unprecedented.

Tiny Desk Concerts are famous for showcasing a different side of artists, letting them reinterpret their biggest hits with a live band in a more raw and personal way. Given Bad Bunny’s versatility and his love for experimenting with sounds, his potential Tiny Desk performance could be one for the history books.

While NPR hasn’t confirmed anything yet, some reports suggest that if Bad Bunny has indeed recorded his Tiny Desk, it could be released by the end of March 2025. Until then, all we can do is wait, and maybe rewatch some of the best Tiny Desk performances from other Latino artists.

3 Must-Watch Tiny Desk Concerts from Latino Artists

While we wait for Bad Bunny’s (potential) Tiny Desk to drop, here are three unforgettable performances from Latin stars that you need to check out.

  1. Karol G

Karol G’s Tiny Desk set is pure magic. If you didn’t get to see her on tour, or if you just want to relive her best hits, this is the perfect way to do it. With over 7.8 million views on YouTube, her 17-minute acoustic performance is one of the most-watched Latin Tiny Desks. She performed four songs from Mañana Será Bonito with an all-female band, giving each track a fresh and emotional twist. NPR introduced her set by calling her “the first female artist to ever top the Billboard 200 with a Spanish-language album,” highlighting just how much of a cultural force she is.

  1. Nathy Peluso

If there’s one thing about Nathy Peluso, it’s that she never does anything halfway. Her Tiny Desk Concert was no exception. Performing songs from her album Grasa, the Argentine singer-songwriter brought all her signature confidence and genre-blending magic to NPR’s stage. The performance, which has racked up 3.5 million views, was described by NPR as “a showcase of vocal power and fearless experimentation.”

  1. Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso

Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso took over Tiny Desk in October, and the result was nothing short of legendary. As part of NPR’s El Tiny series (a segment dedicated to highlighting Latin American artists), the Argentine duo performed five tracks from their latest album, Baño María. Their set, which has already amassed 28 million views, was praised for its creativity and raw energy.

NPR described them as “two of the most exciting artists in Latin music today,” adding that “everything they touch turns into creative gold.” Their setlist included fan-favorites like Dumbai,

El Único, Mi Deseo/Bad Bitch, Baby Gangsta, and La Que Puede, Puede. The live band brought a whole new dimension to their sound, blending jazz, hip-hop, and electronic beats in a way that only Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso can.

Now, if Bad Bunny is really doing a Tiny Desk, it’s going to break the internet. Until then, all we can do is keep our eyes on NPR’s YouTube channel and get ready for what could be one of the most iconic Tiny Desk performances ever.
