Y La Bamba Concert

AMP is excited to present Y La Bamba with support from Shannon Patiño! The performance will take place Tuesday, February 18th at 8PM in the WWU Viking Union Multipurpose Room. Tickets are on sale now in person at the WWU Box Office or online by following the linktree in our bio. 

 

Y La Bamba’s newest album Lucha explores multiplicity—love, queerness, Mexican American and Chicanx identity, family, intimacy, yearning, loneliness—and chronicles a period of struggle and growth for Mendoza Ramos as a person and artist. “Even though I’m trying to fight, I never want to demonize suffering, because that’s part of growing. And it’s hard, because we’re living in times where that [stigma] is what’s happening. So if this—me talking about my mental health and finding healing in my queerness—is a risk, I hope that I find a community that protects it and protects me, because they know I have their back. I am also trying to be my mom’s community.”
