Description
Hailing from Portland, Y La Bamba plays Latin-inspired, indie-folk music with a bittersweet edge. Originally the solo project of Luz Mendoza, whose haunting, ethereal voice provides the centerpiece of the band's sound, Y La Bamba has grown into a full band complete with harmonies, rich textures and an accordion. Garnering critical praise, it has also caught the attention of established artists including Neko Case, who recruited Y La Bamba to tour with her, Chris Funk of the Decemberists who handled production duties on the band's debut album, and Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, who produced its sophomore release.
