Y La Bamba - Squawk by tender-loving-empire
Y La Bamba's new album Court The Storm creates a multi-ethnic musical landscape that walks a musical tightrope between alt-latino and indie while delivering on the promise of 2010's critically acclaimed Lupon. With the veteran, Grammy winning producer Steve Berlin at the helm, as well as a guest appearance from Neko Case (the band's twice tour mate in 2011), Court The Storm features abilingual songbook as well as the energy of their must-see live shows.

Y La Bamba - Juniper by tender-loving-empire
With a raw songbook of home recordings under her belt and a new group of musicians to help Mendoza with her musical vision, Y La Bamba began to captivate audiences in Portland and tour stops around the US. Eventually, the quintet would attract the attention of The Decemberists guitarist, Chris Funk, who offered his production skills for the band’s first studio recording. Funk worked tirelessly to capture Y La Bamba’s rustic tones, songs inspired by the traditional tunes of Mendoza’s childhood, and her signature vocals that resemble the sounds spilling out of a 1930’s Victrola. Dubbing the confidently stunning body of songs Lupon (after a nickname that Mendoza’s father despised), Y La Bamba has emerged from the studio, ready to wow listeners everywhere.
