Rita Payés: Tiny Desk Concert

Anamaria Sayre | October 2, 2024
Admiration is the spellbinding tenor of Rita Payés' Tiny Desk performance.
Flanked by mother Elisabeth Roma and husband Pol Batlle, the Spanish multi-instrumentalist's presence at the Desk reflects the way she creates and lives her music: in the cradle of familial love.
Born to a musical family in the same coastal town in Northern Spain where she now resides, she was raised surrounded by deep, musical tradition which she was able to identify as ripe for revival.
