.ylabamba's Lucha is 'a brave and electric endeavor that hurtles across time and space'. Concert preview for 5/20 show at theemptybottle ✍️ wowtashawow
The first song I heard from Y La Bamba was the title track from 2016’s tender and expansive. The music had a transformative quality that made it feel at once like the nostalgia of returning home and an imagined comfort yet to come. Singer-songwriter and guitarist Luz Elena Mendoza Ramos, the leader of Y La Bamba, continues that wondrous world making on the new album, which came out last month via Oregon label Tender Loving Empire.
“Eight” opens the album with gently strummed guitar, piano, woodwinds, and Mendoza Ramos’s signature compressed vocal, which is layered over itself in hushed, heartbreaking, dreamlike harmonies. On “Collapse,” sunny, rhythmic guitar meshes with a catchy vocal hook and a smooth bass line for an undeniably danceable and confident tune.
