Hey, I'm Nora, and with me as always is Sarah Oda.

Welcome to the show. Welcome to the show.

Welcome to the show.

Our guest today is Ila Bamba.

We sit down with singer-songwriter, guitarist, Luce Elena Mendoza Ramos to talk about their

influences growing up with traditional Mexican music styles that lend themselves to the art of storytelling.

This was such a fun episode.

I just love their music so much.

So it was really fun for me to meet them and get to share this time with them and play music.

I know you touch on this in the episode, but they sing in both Spanish and English, but it's like you don't have to understand what's being

said to feel like your heartstrings are being pulled on. Yes, I don't, I don't speak Spanish

and I don't know what the meaning is, but I, it's just feel so emotional when I hear it.

It's so powerful to kind of transcend language with music. I loved hanging with Luz, and I'm so happy to share this episode with you.

So please enjoy Ila Bamba.

Okay, so one, two, one, two, three, four.

Okay. I'm going to I'm going to
