It's our 500th show at the Tiny Desk, featuring The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and the new band he started with Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss, a Mariachi band and more.
He's a world-class Afro-Cuban percussionist, the first call of jazz and pop stars. He's also a Santería priest. As he tells us after a traditional ceremony, the two aspects of his life are connected.
The North Carolina band uses a typewriter for rhythm, a toy piano for whimsy and a harmonium for mood, as well as a gong, multiple odd percussive accents and subtle guitar effects.
