Y La Bamba

Filed Under Shows, Updates | Leave a Comment

Opening for Horse Feathers at the BellTower tonight: Portland’s Y La Bamba. Fronted by Luzelena Mendoza, the heavily-tatted daughter of Michaocan immigrants, Y La Bamba makes music redolent of Mexican folk music and the Rose City’s distinctive indie scene. They have two LP’s to their credit—2008′s Alida St. and the two-month-old Lupon—both of which will be available at tonight’s merch table. Check the widescreen video for “Juniper” from Lupon below; Alida St., as it happens, is streaming (and for sale) over at Bandcamp.

Doors for tonight’s show swing open about 8 PM. Twelve green, American, federally-backed IOU’s will get you past the ticket-takers and into Pullman’s finest performing arts venue—which does, in fact, have a liquor license. See y’all tonight!
