  • Description

    La Yarará is the sophomore LP from Argentinian-born London-based artist Malena Zavala. Written and self-produced, the album was recorded over two hot weeks in August 2019 in London's Urchin Studios and mixed alongside Strongroom's Gareth Jones. The record is a departure from her previous works, as Zavala progresses her psychedelic sound further down her Latin roots. La Yarará withholds 10 mesmeric and arresting tracks all influenced by different musical practices from across the South American continent. The album features lead single 'En la Noche', which combines traditional cumbia rhythms with lysergic guitars and a swirling ambient production, the evocative, bluesy lament, 'I'm Leaving Home' and the fiery, sinuous and energetic 'La Yarará'. Released on Yucatan Records, home of Blanco White and Matthew and the Atlas, it follows Zavala's critically acclaimed debut album, Aliso, which the Guardian hailed as one of 2018's 'most underrated albums'. Zavala has received radio love from Cerys Matthews (BBC Radio 6), Lauren Laverne (BBC Radio 2) and Janice Long (BBC Radio Wales). On the campaign thus far, Zavala has received recognition from The Guardian, The Line of Best Fit, For The Rabbits, ESOJ, Indie For Bunnies, Niche, Underrated, Beehive Candy and Listen Before You Love and received further tastemaker playlist support from London In Stereo and Crack Magazine.
