Band Website..Band Membersluzelena guitar, vocals, loops Y La Bamba, lead vocalist Luzelena and Kin, Their spiritual and haunting sounds are composed of shadowy percussion with captivating backing vocals - quirky arrangements and dancing harmonies. Luzelena is inspired by the legends of poetic warriors and the intense memories of a childhood rich with aural & visual tapestries. Her songs conjure a lucid time travel - a guide to an ancient land of diamonds and rubies.

   About y la bamba
The desert makes me dance. The month of october makes me sing. DEFINING THE SPIRITUAL TERM “WARRIOR” (A brief and casual overview) by Silverstar Red Crow © 2008 Warrior Consciousness is accessed through a long, arduous process of physical, emotional and psychic tempering, through the implementation of discipline on all levels. A Warrior is called to a Life of Service, much as a Shaman is, through the voice of Spirit, presented as NEED by other humans and creatures on, above, around and in the Earth first, then the Greater Universe. A Warrior knows the cost of sacrifice. This knowledge is gleaned through personal loss of loved ones and/or through personal blood sacrifice, illness and sudden disability and war. A true Warrior is a Peace-Maker always! One who sheds blood knows how precious it is and will sacrifice her/his own, before taking another’s in anger, vengeance or dare! A Warrior upholds and serves the Highest and Greatest Good Principle, for the good of Self, other creatures living and dead and for the All, represented by the Greater Universe. A true Warrior walks softly and teaches those around her/him to do the same. One follows and leads both by example first! A Warrior knows and teaches Chaos is simply fuel and a temporary step in the greater organizational process called life/survival/immortality. One must learn to use, then transcend Chaos, quickly and effectively, not to room and board it! A Warrior knows truth lies in Love and the spiritual surrender needed to manifest desire.   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) body{ background-color:rgb(132,222,205); background-image:url(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z289/ylabamba/l_99ed49981b692fa3afdc274470afa092.jpg); background-position:center center; background-repeat:repeat-x; background-attachment:fixed; } I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V4.4

dear pretty lady,
did you know that even though i don't really know you, every time i see you, i want to squish you!
... and then blush madly.
your random appearances at the gallery never cease to be a breath of fresh air.
