- This Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, NPR Music celebrates artists from all corners of Latinidad with an 'El Tiny' takeover.
Felix Contreras | October 11, 2024
Sheila E. is a portrait of motion.
Not just the movement of her body as one of the world’s most recognized drummers, but also as a versatile musician who glides easily from genre to genre with the ease of a master. For her time behind the Desk, she assembled a team of musicians to play tracks from her first ever salsa album Bailar.
From the first notes of “Rumba Percussion Jam,” Sheila E.’s bona-fides performing true rumbera (traditional Afro-Cuban drumming and singing) are on full display with her conga chops. The entire set is a reflection of her long standing ability to meld Afro-Caribbean, jazz and funk into a danceable celebration that caps off with shots of tequila for her final track “Playa Tequila.”
Any amount of time spent with Sheila E. is a reminder that high caliber musicianship is always first and goes down easier when presented with the joyous energy of an icon.

Old White dude (for Harris/Walz!) here. I just love Sheila E. and this fabulous group of musicians supporting her! ¡Todos ustedes tienen mi corazón! 🥰
And exactly T H I S makes america great again. Thanks you wonderful people, so many times, way underappreciated! under paid! And not getting the respect Latinos deserve. Never forget south California was Mexico.
I’m Ready for a tour Concert ❤ Sheila Im 67 don’t take too long.
Can we talk about those background singers...Oooooweeeeeee
Es demasiado dura ❤
We see you Sheila and Lynn! In memory of Raeshawn Williams, your former advocate at Concord Records ❤
🔥 🔥 🔥 ❤❤❤
never knew about her father and that music was in her family. that is interesting that with her stage name, it seems like she tried to make a name for herself. also I was not aware of the breadth of her career. was aware of her work with Prince (or the Artist formerly known as, or that symbol that he was using at a time)... really fun to listen to her work with salsa...
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
It’s crazy that she’s almost 70.
