Los Angeles, CA (July 7, 2026) – Y La Bamba announced today a Fall tour with Hermanos Gutierrez, starting September 23 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver. YLB will be appearing as a duo, and the tour will coincide with the 10th Anniversary of Ojos de Sol, being reissued on vinyl and available at the shows.
Luz Elena Mendoza is a first-generation Mexican American producer, multi-disciplinary artist, and force behind the critically acclaimed project Y La Bamba. Since emerging from Portland’s indie scene nearly two decades ago, they have carved out a space in contemporary music. With a singular, avant-garde spirit, Mendoza blends deeply rooted Mexican folk traditions and emotionally charged songwriting with an experimental, soulful psychedelic sound.
Across six studio albums, Mendoza has undergone a profound evolution from a raw singer-songwriter into a boundary-pushing producer – a transformation fully realized in the lush, expansive landscapes of their latest LP, Lucha (2023). Y La Bamba’s music has earned praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, NPR Music, Pitchfork, Billboard, and many more along the way, and the live performances bring this innovation to the forefront, pairing intricate musicianship with emotional intensity.
