“The song ‘Pa’lante,’ one of the most articulate songs of a generation, speaks of being colonized and hypnotized, sterilized and dehumanized, with the refrain, ‘pa’lante’ which translates as ‘forward.'” – NPR
The band has an upcoming spring tour with Waxahatchee and Bedouine. Additionally, Alynda was selected by Ethan Hawke to act in his new film about Blaze Foley; she performed at its Sundance Film Festival premiere last month. Full PR below.

The album ‘The Navigator’ has received career-best reviews and landed Alynda Segarra performances on The Daily Show, CONAN, a NY Times feature, NPR’s Morning Edition and more.
Segarra was selected by Ethan Hawke to act in the new film “Blaze,” which he directed and co-wrote.

Segarra plays Blaze’s sister Marsha in the film and performed at its Sundance Film Festival premiere.
