Y La Bamba—the group led by vocalist and producer Luz Elena Mendoza Ramos—have announced a new album: Lucha arrives April 28 via Tender Loving Empire. Today, the group has shared lead single “Dibujos de Mi Alma,” which was written for Mendoza Ramos’ romantic partner right before the onset of the pandemic. “It’s a song of longing for this person but at the same time trying to detach myself from the unhealthy parts of connection,” Mendoza Ramos explained. Hear the song below and scroll down for the LP artwork and tracklist and the band’s tour itinerary.
Lucha follows Y La Bamba’s 2019 album, Mujeres, and the follow-up EP, Entre los Dos.
