Eight Gigs: Y La Bamba

Feel lucky, Sacramentans and Davisites: Y La Bamba’s fourth and terrific new album Ojos Del Sol drops September 2, which means you get to celebrate a full day early with a live show. Hailing from Portland, Ore., Y La Bamba’s latest is rich, textured, nuanced, evocative—I could go on and on with the adjectives, but just know that Luz Elena Mendoza’s vocals are both Old World and cutting-edge, backed by three-part harmonies that manage that same duality; all together, the band creates an experience rather than a simple sequence of songs. 129 E Street in Davis, www.ylabamba.com.
