The Bay is so back! NPR Music announced the winner of the 11th Tiny Desk Contest and it’s rapper, spoken word artist, and director Ruby Ibarra from Fairfield. Filmed in Oakland, her winning entry “Bakunawa” is a chill-inducing intergenerational collaboration with Filipina artists that Ibarra wrote inspired by her first child and Philipine mythology.
Ibarra will perform at the iconic Tiny Desk at NPR headquarters in D.C. before embarking on the Tiny Desk Contest on the Road tour, which includes a stop in Petaluma on Friday, June 13. You can get tickets here…
