The artist known as Y La Bamba doesn’t exactly fit into one genre.
Yet, in a strangely cohesive way, she manages to weave together elements of indie rock and experimental music to create a sound similar to early St. Vincent, only more Latin sounding.
Y La Bamba is heading to San Antonio in support of her newly released record Mujeres, and if you dig experimental and unexpected elements with your indie rock, this may be a show to mark on the calendar.
San Antonio R&B-rock outfit Idyll Green opens the night.
