Nuestra Comunidad
Avanza is more than a radio station—it’s a community service dedicated to amplifying and uplifting Utah’s bilingual communities. Our name was chosen by people just like you—la comunidad—at the inaugural Voces en Bloom concert in Salt Lake City.

Tiny Desk.... on the radio? Now every Friday at 6pm on Avanza 88.3! On an episode of Conexion on Avanza 88.3 right before the launch of Tiny Desk Radio, Edgar Zúñiga interviewed Anamaria Sayre, co-host of NPR’s Alt.Latino and curator for the iconic Tiny Desk series, to talk about the new show.
“There’s not quite another platform where you really get to have an artist be directly in front of the audience in the way that they are with Tiny Desk,” Anamaria said. “There’s no money involved, no big production, no in-ears, no monitors, just a space for artists to show up as who they are, where they’re from, and what they care about.”
She went on to describe the show’s guiding philosophy. “My mandate around Tiny Desk is always to bring artists who say something significant, who have something important to say,” Anamaria said. “The music itself is resonant, it’s meaningful, it connects people. Music is power. Music is truth.”
Both Anamaria and Edgar celebrated the power Tiny Desk and music have to bridge cultures and hope Utah audiences love the new show!
