Support for NPR and the following message come from Yarl and Pamela Mohn, thanking the people who make public radio great every day and also those who listen.

From NPR music, this is Alt Latino. I'm Felix Contreras.

And I'm Anna Maria Sayer. Let the Cheesme begin.

Anna, it's that time of the year, man.

Christmas.

It is in a way.

It's our Christmas, in particular, our Alt Latino and Pure Music Christmas.

We never get more stress, but also things never get more exciting than this time of year.

You got that right. There's a lot of work behind this stuff. We're talking about our fourth annual

takeover of the Tiny Desk concert series, which we call El Tiny. Now, we do it up pretty big every year,

but I don't know. We might have got ourselves beat this year. We say that every year,

actually. No, I have no record of that. I don't remember saying that last year. Good thing we

both have the memories of a goldfish because I think we can convince ourselves that every single

year is a unique and special year. But I swear, this year it really is, because you know what we did, Felix?

I do because I was there, but go ahead.

This year, we said, we're talking about love.

I mean, it's what we love to talk about, but we said, let's bring it to the tiny desk.

And I think we pretty successfully did that.

We're going with this whole like telenovela,

amor, dramatic love vibe. And I think it's a lot more than that because it's really about

familial love and traditional love and all of these amazing things that we got to see from all

these wonderful artists that we brought. So without further ado, Felix, this is like the first mention of what is our tiny desk lineup for this year.
