Hurray For The Riff Raff: 'Pa'lante' SXSW 2017

- "I'm ready for the world," Alynda Lee Segarra sings in the chorus of the rousing "Hungry Ghost" - and her band's set told that simple truth again and again. In the past seven or eight years, Hurray For The Riff Raff has blossomed slowly but fully, transforming its sound from intense-but-delicate one-woman bedroom recordings to the rip-roaring full-band jams that dominated the group's set at Stubb's BBQ in Austin, Texas, recorded live for NPR Music Wednesday night.
Segarra commanded rapt attention throughout a string of powerful songs from Hurray For The Riff Raff's new album The Navigator, which examines her Puerto Rican heritage and a search for what she calls "my lost humanity." Wearing a homemade T-shirt that read "No Human Is Illegal," Segarra roared through songs that seethed with coiled intensity - even the slow-burning ballad "Fourteen Floors," for which Segarra took over on keyboards, was performed with to-the-skies power. So, yeah: Ready for the world.

The view count is criminal. This is the best new song I've heard in years.
Yah, what's that Despacito shit ... 36 BiLLION VIEWS!!!?
Good gods! This is an extraordinarily fine level of song-writing. Anger and defiance and love and hope. It’s reminiscent of Springsteen and Cohen and Smith yet holds its own torch high and is not diminished by such comparison.
I feel so late coming to the party. Can’t wait to see them live this May. And every song feels like a new favourite. I’ll finish as I started- Good gods!
Ten months later on a train, 8000 kilometers from Austin and we're still streaming this... Because we keep going forwards. Magnificent song
... and here we are in 2022 ❤️✊🏼
When you can put a song together like Hunky Dory era Bowie and have it mean so much, that's special. I agree, this view count *is* criminal! Spread this vid far and wide!
This is a powerful song.
Hoy acabo d descubrir esta banda y esta gran canción, la palabra, el nombre del tema "Pa' Lante" más con todo lo que dice esta canción, hace que sea imposible no sentirse identificado, muchas gracias por el video.
Palante!!!!!! A lot of force from Barcelona!!!!
Excellent sound quality for a live show.
Finally bought and listened to the CD, it's great! Called NAVIGATOR.
Amazing..people all over the world can relate IMO
thank you NPR, amazing video coverage I'm truly inspired and proud again of my heritage because of this artist and such a important time again to recognize my culture and share with people are struggles in America. There is a new movement growing again and it's music that's pushing it , thanks to Trump election the youth will be heard the Hispanic culture music scene is growing and it will be heard. We will push forward 😁👍🎶🇵🇷❤👏
Lindo, lindo!! Pa'lante!!!
This is a story I can get behind.
This is this and this is someting
Powerful!
PALANTE YES
It's so easy to fall in love with her
alynda is very passionate. she has a wonderful voice. the song at around the 3 minute mark sounds beatle-eque
part of the problem with the limited view count is facebook and other social media outlets...when I post to fb now, they limit what gets shown based on how much an artist has paid them to populate links...if an artist has paid nothing, they deliberately will not spread news on timelines even when I posted...one of many reasons I am not a fan of FB...but you pay them and they will happily post fake news...
🖤
Such an excellent song. But I sorta low-key thought that was Jay Duplass on the drums
❤️
Who else came here tonight after watching sharp objects ✌️❤️🤘
This tries to be far more powerful than it is. The message is strong but the music itself just falls flat and is missing a whole lot of something. Just flat. Doesn’t move me.
E.M. Medrano
Lol for me it’s quite the opposite.
Music is brilliant, but the message is kinda quite trivial
