(NEW YORK, NY) -- Y La Bamba had a huge 2019, releasing the critically acclaimed full-length Mujeres early in the year, followed by the equally lauded Entre Los Dos EP in the fall. The band hits the road later this month with Durand Jones & The Indications and has released the the video for "Entre Los Dos" - an animated clip directed by Daniel Barreto and animated by Daniel Barreto and Paula Palomar.
"'Entre los Dos' is the growth behind the understanding of unconditional love," says Y La Bamba principal Luz Elena Mendoza.
The songs on Entre Los Dos are powerful prayers, created with their purpose being to protect the land and its people, recognize the ancestry that burns in our hearts, and treasure wisdom weaving healthy bonds that reflect self-love with dignity.
"An EP of introspective folk songs that understand just how visceral introspection can be," said Pitchfork. "Luz Elena Mendoza has such a far-reaching creative spirit that it's almost impossible to confine her to a single musical identity,” said NPR Music. "Entre Los Dos is an unsparing work of sonic catharsis.” said Rolling Stone.
Mendoza is currently writing material for an extremely unique and exciting project for 2020. Keep an eye out for details to be announced soon.
