There&#8217;s no other event quite like the multi-day tradition, as it marks an honorable celebration of life through loss<em>&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;<\/em>remembrance in recalling those who are no longer with us.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2>This sentiment of searching, to trace one&#8217;s beginnings,&nbsp;is what Luz Mendoza of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/artists\/y-la-bamba\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Y La Bamba<\/a> sets out to transcribe within Marmoset&#8217;s latest artist profile video. It&#8217;s inward introspection of understanding, respect for one&#8217;s own journey.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2>In the latest chapter of our artist profile series,&nbsp;Luz opens her story to us, a message thoughtfully constructed through a struggle of genuine exploration and forgiveness \u2014&nbsp;for her to then fiercely embrace. This is a woman who does not relent, opening doors, even when some are tender, digging deeper into self discovery.<\/h2>\n<h2>It then makes sense why it&#8217;s essential to highlight this particular Y La Bamba performance that took place at Holocene&nbsp;on November 2nd. As with Dia de los Muertos, Luz equally shows there&#8217;s a visceral beauty in life and death, in both past and present. Where we travel to, but also from where we arrived.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>   <iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/256450661?wmode=opaque\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Artist Profile Series | Y La Bamba\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"sqs-svg-icon--outer social-icon-alignment-center social-icons-color-black social-icons-size-medium social-icons-shape-circle social-icons-style-border\" >\n<nav class=\"sqs-svg-icon--list\">\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MarmosetMusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper facebook\" aria-label=\"Marmoset\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#facebook-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#facebook-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marmosetmusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper twitter-unauth\" aria-label=\"Twitter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#twitter-unauth-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#twitter-unauth-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/marmosetmusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper vimeo\" aria-label=\"marmoset\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#vimeo-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#vimeo-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC6_Fa0ef9xGRvs9aFp6mnww\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper youtube\" aria-label=\"marmosetmusic\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#youtube-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#youtube-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/marmosetmusic\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sqs-svg-icon--wrapper instagram\" aria-label=\"Marmoset\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div>\n        <svg class=\"sqs-svg-icon--social\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\">\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--icon\" xlink:href=\"#instagram-icon\"><\/use>\n          <use class=\"sqs-use--mask\" xlink:href=\"#instagram-mask\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/div>\n<p>    <\/a><br \/>\n  <\/nav>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If a descendent of Hispanic culture, heritage, or lineage, one would immediately recognize what holiday&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2340,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-filmmaking","category-marmoset","has-excerpt"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/ScreenShot2018-02-19at9.34.20AM.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2339"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8854,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339\/revisions\/8854"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marmosetmusic.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
