With a Dr. Simi doll in front of him, pop cariño Cuco brought every single piece of who he is and his artistry to El Tiny.
Slow-rolling through a set of four tracks, he seamlessly blended the soul of chicano ballads and the smooth energy of soft rock anthems. Opening with gentle vocals and simple chords on “Pendant,” Cuco brought corazon from an earlier era to his concert. Closing out the emo moment with a sweet guitar solo, he moved on to the tranquil percussion of “Hydrocodone,” delivering heartbroken melody and transporting the audience back to the bedroom where his songwriting career first began.
Complementing the rumbling bass with some light synth, he showcases that same soulful energy on “Feelings,” and closes out the set with the bumpy, bilingual new track “Under the Sun,” shifting to cumbia rhythms as he swaps languages. The guitar-heavy, percussive-laden show invites the audience to share in a Cuco we’ve never seen before, all parts heartbroken, hopeful, and evolving.

jajaja Dr. Simi es famoso ya :)
jaja es verdad y su playera anda por ahí en un mic 😂😂😅😅
Porfavor no mueras amigo
Grande Cuco! It's amazing seeing how far he's gotten since his "Lover is a Day" days. Verdadero talento.
😅😮
Nah fr im glad i sticked with him for so long😭🙏
I mean I liked lover is a day
Lover is a day is hands down my all time favorite song its too good like i love what hes done since but i still feel lover is a day is the best things hes written
Lover is a day is still mi favorita. But his newer salsa groove fused chill hop stuff is still sick
I’m going to bet that Cuco is a fan of Pink Floyd.
Absolutely and I am here for it
Yeah he is
Everyone is a fan of Pink Floyd
O los temerarios
And Radiohead i think
wish “Lover is a Day” was there, still this tiny desk was flawless
Think he wanted to do some songs he hasn't done in some of these other sessions, he did lover is a day on audiotree and one other one I believe
Somebody grew up listening to 'Dark Side of the Moon' a lot.
Same thought!
Lol he actually did
Got u brooo
No kidding, exactly what I was about to say.
That’s what I’m sayiiing
This ain't Summertime "Cuco" I discovered in 2018...I'm learning this version of him today. Very interesting 😌
i learned to enjoy this version of cuco but i do miss the other version of him
This version's better bc it has a healthy sober cuco
I prefer this version. Sober, water drinking Cuco is pretty dope.
Same
@@error_4004 didn't knew about this, but makes kind of sense. The music display here feels like a hug, very peaceful. The Cuco I first heard was depressing asf.
0:00 Pendant
5:39 Hydrocodone
8:32 Feelings
12:38 Under The Sun
Omfg thank you so much for this
This version of Under The Sun with the emphasis on the cumbia at the end honestly made the song 420x better
Negra Tomasa vibe at the end
I see what you did there
He's grown so much as a vocalist Over the last four years. His progress is amazing to see. I can't wait for more bangers from him 🥰🩷
"grown so much as a vocalist"
😆
A 5a série não perdoa mesmo....
02:35
He’s also a virtuoso 02:48
hahaha wow! you need to listen to more good music lady!
Accidentally clicked the notification that started the video - hooked and invested in the first 2 notes. New fan.
Cuco's voice: 😇
Cuco's Style: 🥵😈
if there’s one concert you should go to in your life, it definitely should be his. the vibe and aura from not only him and his band, but from the fans, is a true once in a lifetime experience :’)
LOL he's decent nothing amazing
@@snarfjohnson2262saw him back in 2022, as a musician he’s average but as a performer he’s amazing. He knows how to draw energy from the crowd and has the best vibes at his concerts. Best one i’ve been to and i’ve been to a couple of concerts
Dude on bass is doing something nice.

12:12 Cuco’s giving shout-out
12:34 Under the Sun
cool band even if “Pendant” is directly ripping off pink floyd's "dark side of the moon" era sound. if your gonna steal steal from the best!
@@RobertSlover nothing is ever original anymore, there's gonna be someone out there who's made it before; and there's always gonna be someone who nitpicks.
@@RobertSlover nothing is original anymore everyone takes inspiration from some song
@@dzhtown7744 simply incorrect. there are no excuses for being a thief.
@@irongaming27 simply incorrect. there are no excuses for being a thief.
Such a sweet version of Pendant. Definitly hear the Floyd influence on that one. Love their sound. Really talented guys here.
He is definitely underrated but true fans been here since the beginning 💯💯
La voz de Cuco ha mejorado bastante
My dude on the guitar was hitting those notes, man on a mission.
This is insane! I've waited a long time for this! Pendant has such a Pink Floyd vibe too!!!
Came to say this very thing!
Very DSOTM! Never heard of the band but that first song hooked me.
100% - very Floydy
Wow it's so close! I wonder someone can hear it as a copy :o
It’s got similar chord structure to “great gig in the sky” of the dark side of the moon album
What a vibe. Never heard of this dude but I hope his album stuff is as chill as this session, if not I'll just keep listening to this while cleaning cooking and doing dishes...😊
What were your thoughts when you listened to his other music?
Esa versión de Pendant me dio escalofríos. Sublime.
I’m getting a Chicano Pink Floyd feel 🔥
Ahhhhh yes finally!! So freakin proud of you, YOU ARE GLOWING! My boyfriend and I went to your concert as our first date a couple years ago and now we play your songs to our baby 💕 forever a fan
great to see his homies still with him
3:41 That funky jam sesh is soooo fire 🔥
I love getting to watch cuco become a whole different human. Glad I’ve been here to see him change in a positive way
One of the best tiny desk episodes ever
how far this man has come, this is like listening to dark side of the moon for the first time again, from the simplicity of his songs like CR-V to this amazing dynamically filled intro with amazing modulation on the guitar and riffs man this hands down is one of the best Tiny desk performances fr, up there with tylers and macs
0:00 The Great Gig In The Sky
5:39 Hydrocodone
8:32 Feelings
12:38 Under The Sun
😂
wdym the great gig in the sky?? was it inspired by pink floyd???
@@Gipsy_T. the guitars give it away
I think this is my fourth time watching and im not bored yet. I wish It was longer );
Cuco never disappoints with his performances 🔥
He disappointed me when he cancelled his performance in Madrid ☹️☹️☹️
@@cristiansk878 he doesn’t perform for Spaniards anymore. They were really racist to him last time. Horrible people
@@Jason21012 what happened?
oh no, what happened? hope he could come to the Philippines someday 😢
Lovely early morning music for me!!

I've listened to so many of these tiny concert performances and i genuinely think this one is the best
GRANDE!!!!!! I'm so insanely excited to see Cuco finally get a tiny desk, he deserves it SO MUCH
i love this band 💚
For real they have a differently cool vibe
Not a band. But he does have a band he performs his songs with. I believe most of them are his friends.
@@TheBlkWlfthis is who he performs with?
What a wonderful surprise, I am now a MAJOR FAN/FOLLOWER of Cuco. Shout out to Tom Anderson guitars 🎸 . rik Ventura
He estado siguiendo la trayectoría de Cuco por más de 5 años. Y es increíble lo mucho que ha crecido musicalmente en tan poco tiempo!
Una de las mas grandes mentes en la musica en estos tiempos, sus letras y sentimiento en sus canciones están en otro nivel.
Grande Cuco!
Been a fan for years. He's incredible.
This is absolutely gorgeous, I've loved so much of Cuco's recorded music, but this life performance just took my breath AWAY.
His voice is so comforting 🫂 fan since lo que siento!!!💝
Es mi primera vez verle😂❤ 😢
Qué lindo ser testigo de tu crecimiento músical y personal Cuco! Te sigo desde el comienzo y siempre aposté a que ibas a llegar lejos!! Amor pleno por lo que hacés 👏🏻💖
La evolución musical de Cuco es impresionante, les tengo un gran respeto, que gran talento de todos los músicos presentes en esta sesión 👏
The Smoothness of this set is beautiful!!
Just now hearing Cusco 1st time, holy smackeroos this band hits the chill spot. Love love love. New listener and fan. They’re so young too which is even more exciting to think great music for a long time to come, God willing. I hear the Pink Floyd resemblance at first song. Thank you Tiny D.
The band is made for each other. Such a chill sesh!
his singing improved so much, i remembered when they would bash him on tiktok lol
Always did like that bassline in Mexican music, now that I think about it! I grew up in East la! So I had one or two Mexican neighbors...... But that baseline was always sweet to my ears. Even when I was a kid. I liked the way that sounded!
The guys above me is an idiot lol
Discovering this artist right now.
Why only now?!
This deserves so many more views. Cuco is so talented. I always come back to listen to his tiny desk
