SUMMARY:Y La Bamba & Kiltro LIVE
DESCRIPTION:Y La Bamba & Kiltro live in Houston\,TX at Bad Astronaut. \nThursday October 17th\, 2024 7pm \nTo declare one thematic narrative from Lucha\, Y La Bamba’s seventh album\, would be to chisel away a story within a story within a story into the illusion of something singular. \n“Lucha is a symbol of how hard it is for me to tackle healing\, live life\, and be present\,” 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 ‘fight’ and is also a nickname for Luz\, which means light. The album explores multiplicity—love\, queerness\, Mexican American and Chicanx identity\, family\, intimacy\, yearning\, loneliness—and chronicles a period of struggle and growth for Mendoza Ramos as a person and artist. \nLucha was born out of isolation at the advent of COVID-19 lockdowns\, beginning with a cover of Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry\,” and following Mendoza Ramos as she moved from Portland\, Oregon to Mexico City\, returning to her parents’ 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 “another tier of facing vulnerability\,” 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 form—anger and compassion\, externally and internally\, individually and societally. As much as la lucha is about inner work\, fighting is borne from survival stemming from social structures designed to uplift dominant groups at the hands of suffering amongst the marginalized. \nWhile peeling back layers of the past to better understand the present has been integral to this period of growth for Mendoza Ramos\, time\, trauma\, and history can feel like interconnected\, abysmal loops and music has remained a trusted space for Mendoza Ramos to process\, experiment\, and channel her learnings into a creative practice. In this way\, Lucha has become cyclical\, documenting the parallel trust Mendoza Ramos has built with herself to allow the songs to guide how they should be sung\, or even sound. \nThe result is a collection as sonically sprawling and bold as its subject matter. On “La Lluvia de Guadalajara\,” Y La Bamba leans into a minimal\, avant-garde soundscape as Mendoza Ramos recites a spoken word poem. Later\, rhythms veer into bossa nova territory on “Hues ft. Devendra Banhart\,” a full-circle collaboration for Mendoza Ramos as she reminisces on the significance of finding Banhart’s work nearly two decades earlier: “He was the first young Spanish-speaking musician that wasn’t playing traditional Mexican music I heard when I was 21. There was nothing like it around that time.” \nY La Bamba Artist Presale: Tuesday\, July 16th @10am local\nKiltro Artist Presale: Tuesday\, July 16th @10am local\nLocal/Venue Presale: Wednesday\, July 17th @10am local\nPublic On Sale: Friday\, July 19th @10am local \nLive at Bad Astronaut in Houston. Address: 1519 Fulton St\, Houston\, TX 77009 \nDoors 7pm. All ages\, no refunds. Indoor stage \nSupport: Kiltro \nYears ago\, Chilean-American singer/songwriter Chris Bowers Castillo moved to the port city of Valparaíso and became a walking tour guide. \n“I would dress up as Wally and give tours to families and kids\,” he remembers with a laugh. “It was great\, because I got to know the city incredibly well. I’d walk for hours\, then spend the rest of the day partying and drinking\, probably way too much. But I also wrote lots of new songs.” \nBack in Denver\, Chris looked for a moniker that reflected the evocative and subtly rebellious musical concepts percolating in his head\, and settled on kiltro – a word used in Chile for stray dogs or mutts. He then teamed up with bassist Will Parkhill and drummer Michael Devincenzi\, later inviting Fez García to join the band as an additional percussionist on Kiltro’s live gigs. \n“I wanted to do a project mixing different styles and aesthetics\,” he says. “Valparaíso is my favorite city in the world and will always influence my music. There were street dogs everywhere\, and I’m a mutt myself.” \nTitled Underbelly\, Kiltro’s sophomore album crystallizes those dreams and experiences into a post-rock manifesto of dazzling beauty. Its songs combine touches of shoegaze\, ambient and neo-psychedelia with the soulful transcendence of South American folk – the purity of stringed instruments\, supple syncopated percussion and elusive melodies that define the works of Latin American legends such as Violeta Parra\, Víctor Jara and Atahualpa Yupanqui.
