The day after the fourth of July. The fifth of July, to be exact is the date when Y La Bamba shared their musical grace with the city of Reno at Knitting Factory Concert House as the opening act for Neko Case. The music was lively, bi-lingual (English y Español), and blurs the lines of indie, folk and jam band in a way that could be described as something that may or may not already exist: Pueblo Rock. Let me know if you disagree.
As per la cámara, and how they interacted with la cámara… I’m sure you can guess my shutter speed. Go on, give it a try. Did you guess 1/250th of a second? Bingo! That allowed me to capture just enough of the action to essentially ‘suspend’ each band member in time. How about the aperture on my 50mm f/1.8D that was attached to the Nikon D7000? 1.8. Did I hear a 1.8? Bingo again! Why? To let the light in! Now for my last trick… ISO. 1600. Guess why? Also, to let the light in! Remember we’re in pitch black except for stage lighting folks, there’s no moon to ‘brighten’ up our evening here. It’s just not going to happen. Anyway, you get the gist… This band is amazing. Follow them, download their music and make it a point to see them perform live for a spectacular show. Come back and thank us when you’re ridin’ the high.
