Y La Bamba - Lupon

  Listen to the song "Juniper" After accumulating a bundle of raw home recordings and winning fans all over the US with their infectious live shows, it was time for Y La Bamba to record their first studio album. Chris Funk of The Decemberists was one of many who became enamored with Y La Bamba’s spirited folk sound and offered his production skills for this debut release. Funk worked tirelessly to capture the raw, contagious energy present at live Y La Bamba shows, and it’s safe to say his work paid off. Featuring frontwoman Luz Mendoza’s distinctive vocals and songs inspired by the traditional tunes of her childhood, a more stunning debut album is hardly imaginable.TLE-025 (2010)
