On Friday, Bay Area native and nprmusic's 2025 Tiny Desk Contest winner rubyibarra performed an electrifying set at lagunitaspetaluma as part of the Tiny Desk Contest On The Road Tour 🌟 A research scientist and fiercely poetic lyricist raised in San Lorenzo, Ibarra raps in English alongside the Filipino languages of Tagalog and Bisaya. Her Tiny Desk Contest-winning track, “Bakunawa,” was inspired by the dragon-like serpent of Philippine mythology. Want to attend an event like this?
