"elegant, finely wrought Latin-influenced songs. Las Rubias del Norte compress big-band compositions into sparkling gems.." - The New Yorker
Las Rubias del Norte's Ziguala Hit's stores March 9th on Barbs Records. Las Rubias del Norte was started seven years ago, when Allyssa Lamb and Emily Hurst decided to quit their classical choir and start a group of their own. The groups sound quickly veered off its classical course, incorporating Boleros, Cuban Guajiras and Cowboy songs. The result played like a dreamy soundtrack with classical harmonies set to a Latin beat.
After a two year hiatus, the Blondes of the North are back. Their material covers a wider range than usual. The songs run from an intimate Neapolitan ballad to a Bollywood production, a Kurt Weill song in French and a classic Chicha. While the dynamic range and the geographic scope are wider than ever, Las Rubias do keep the Pan-Latin spirit alive by treating it all like it was recorded in Veracruz in 1961.
BKLYN Magazine. Idiosyncratic, stylish , and almost unbearably romantic brand of mostly Latin music. This strange menagerie of sounds is at once surprising and accessible, sweet and sexy, soothing and hip.
