After sorting through nearly 1000 hours of unseen footage captured by el Divo de Juárez himself, the creators of Netflix docuseries Juan Gabriel: Debo, Puedo, y Quiero unearthed an unknown side to the beloved Mexican star. Juan Gabriel’s career spans decades as a singer, producer and composer with timeless hits such as “Querida”, “El Noa Noa” and “Amor Eterno.” The icon sold over 150 million records, wrote over 1,800 songs and it has been reported by Mexico’s Society of Authors and Composers, that every 40 seconds, a Juan Gabriel song is played.

Nearly two decades ago, the first NPR Tiny Desk performance was conceived when folk artist Laura Gibson was invited to play at NPR’s D.C. headquarters. Since then, the program has grown to be a pop culture phenomenon that musicians such as Becky G consider to be a career milestone. Whether artists are revisiting their classics or launching their careers, a Tiny Desk performance can be pivotal in showcasing their raw talent.
