The long-awaited Lupon, produced by Tender Loving Empire is the brainchild of brilliant and beautiful beloved Portland band Y La Bamba. If you’ve been fortunate enough to see them live, you know the magnetic and moving voice of lead singer Luz Elena Mendoza is magical and haunting. The soft and atmospheric quality of this music is often likened to Latin lullaby.
The first music video for this band is available now, entitled “Juniper”, and I wept the first time I watched it, no joke. For more information, visit www.myspace.com/ylabamba, and www.facebook.com/ylabamba. Y La Bamba will be your new favorite.
