LAS RUBIAS DEL NORTE play boleros, cha cha cha, cumbias, huaynos, lieder, and cowboy songs. Fronted by classically trained singers Allyssa Lamb and Emily Hurst, the band mixes musicians from the US, France and Colombia who all look back to the latin motherland most of them never had. Their last album, Panamericana ( barbès records) draws its inspiration from all across the Americas and plays like a dreamy soundtrack where cha-cha-cha and boleros mix with classical harmonies and cowboy music. The result is a collection of thirteen songs, each of which is a "sparkling gem” (The New Yorker.)

No shows until January of 09. The new album will be released in the summer of 09.
