Shrouded in all black, flamenco garb and flanked by his very personal angelitos on the Tiny Desk, Spanish singer Omar Montes is the shining embodiment of the contrasts he consistently performs with.

Dancing alongside the border of custom and modernity — flamenco and hip-hop — the artist recounts his story as a child of Roma heritage rising up on the streets of Madrid, over the melodic heartbeat of clapping fingers. Opening the present with “Patio de la Cárcel,” he trades artificial beats for transitive horns and lays naked his soul with vivid bars about life in his barrio. Locking in his viewers with a heart-thumping trombone line, he switches to flamenco-driven “Metió en un Lío.” Settling again into the beat of clapping fingers, he and his band dance by way of the up-tempo “La Llama del Amor.”

Omar Montes walked into the constructing on a video name along with his grandma — one of the crucial vital individuals in his life. He closes out his efficiency with “Conmigo,” infused with the form of romance you’d think about his abuela taught him. “For you I might deliver down the moon,” he coos. The Spanish artist exudes custom and soul as he facilities his barrio, his individuals, his familia in his present — bringing slightly piece of Spain to the remainder of the world.
