I'm really grateful to be playing with these wonderful people.

They've helped me, like, create a family away from my own.

From Futuro Media and PRX, it's Latino USA.

I'm Maria Innojosa.

Today, Luna Luna, a band from Texas, on how the stars align, bringing them together to live out their dreams.

On this show, some music, this time from Luna Luna, the rising band based in Dallas, Texas.

Luna Luna is best known for mixing nostalgic sounds of the past and fusing them with elements of funk and dreamlike pop.

We had Luna Luna Luna on the show back in 2022 and we're happy to have them on with us today.

One of Luna Luna's favorite things to sing about is Young Love.

You know, from the joys of a newly blossoming relationship to the withering of love and,

oh, the heartache.

Each member of this millennial four-member band comes from a very different walk of life.

And that's part of Luna Luna's DNA.

They're made up of vocalist Kevin Gonzalez, who also goes by Kavi, backup vocalist and keyboardist

Danny Bonilla, drummer Kaylin Martinez, and bassist Ryan Gordon, who goes by Gordo.

The band has had different members throughout the years, but they say destiny has brought them together

from across the Lone Star State. Now they're having a good time creating music and going back on tour across the

country. I'm going to hand things off now to Kevin, Danny, Kaelin and Ryan of Luna Luna.

We're going to get to know more about the people behind the instruments and hear about how the

universe brought them into each other's lives to let them live out their

wildest dreams. Here's Luna Luna in their own words.

Hey, my name is Kavi.
