Show Notes
Host Evie Stokes sits down with Seattle duo Lucha Luna to talk about the music that’s moving them. First up, the duo talks about their love for Helado Tropical, the collaborative project from Helado Negro’s Roberto Carlos Lange and Reyna Tropical’s Fabi Reyna. The duo talk about opening recently for Helado Tropical and why they love their song “Déjate Caer.”
“It just found me at the right time,” Lucha Luna singer Eva Vazquez says. “And it moved me to tears, and I think when music does that, it really reminds me, ‘Wow, music is healing.’”
“Déjate Caer” comes from Helado Tropical’s self-titled debut, out now via Psychic Hotline.
