Upcoming Y La Bamba Tour
To declare one thematic narrative from Lucha, Y La Bambaâs seventh album, would be to chisel away a story within a story within a story into the illusion of something singular. âLucha is a symbol of how hard it is for me to tackle healing, live life, and be present,â Luz Elena Mendoza Ramos, lead vocalist and producer of Y La Bamba, says of the title behind the album which translates from Spanish to English as âfightâ and is also a nickname for Luz, which means light. The album explores multiplicityâlove, queerness, Mexican American and Chicanx identity, family, intimacy, yearning, lonelinessâand chronicles a period of struggle and growth for Mendoza Ramos as a person and artist Lucha was born out of isolation at the advent of COVID-19 lockdowns, beginning with a cover of Hank Williamsâ âIâm So Lonesome I Could Cry,â and following Mendoza Ramos as she moved from Portland, Oregon to Mexico City, returning to her parentsâ home country while revisiting a lineage marred by violence and silence, and simultaneously reaching towards deeper relationships with loved ones and herself. The album reflects âanother tier of facing vulnerability,â as Mendoza Ramos explains, and is a battle cry to fight in order to be seen and to be accepted, if not celebrated, in every formâanger and compassion, externally and internally, individually and societally.
