Y La Bamba
Part of Club Hancher
World Café says Luz Elena Mandoza Ramos, lead vocalist and producer of Y La Bamba, "[Her] inimitable songwriting is propelled by an earth-shaking voice and incisive lyrics that speak towards the duality of hurt and healing." And The Boston Globe said of the band's 2019 album, "Fusing psychedelia-dappled dreampop, south-of-the-border rhythms, and intricate guitar work with forthright lyrics of Mexican-American womanhood, [Mujeres] is one of [the year's] most stunning—and catchy—musical statements." The band's most recent record, Lucha, explores multiplicity—including queer, Mexican American, and Chicanx identities as well as love, intimacy, and yearning.
