Y La Bamba

From the album 'Court The Storm' (2012) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/la_Bamba

Shadows of forsaken vows

This is wedding for my folks

A wedding for folks

Representing my forgotten faults

My forgotten faults

This broken bread is my humble offering

Well I walk on these waters

This is my humble offering

Holy sister you were so brave

Teaching this girl just a mind to behave

You taught her right you gave her all

Holy sister you were so brave

Well I heard that the snow

It’s ready to share her season

It’s slow it’s my flow

It’s been a while since I’ve grown

Well it’s nice

To have a life a life of tribulations

It’s nice to have a life a life of tribulations

I am sure we are born just to make it

Luz Elena Mendoza’s songs draw from her strict Catholic upbringing as an only daughter of a Mexican immigrant and the vocal harmonies of the Latin music she grew up around. Neko Case, who hand-picked Y La Bamba to open for her on multiple tours, lends her vocals to the title track of the band’s sophomore album, Court the Storm, produced by Grammy-winning producer Steve Berlin (also of legendary rock outfit Los Lobos). Court the Storm is packed with delicately crafted art-folk that finds Mendoza’s ethereal vocals combining with bittersweet melodies and thrumming, Latin-inspired rhythms, resulting in one of the finest indie-pop releases in memory
