Our common response to past relationships is so “fuck that man!” that more earnest, hesitant emotions can be complicated to parse. This dilemma is at the center of Y La Bamba’s “Dibujos de Mi Alma,” the lead single from queer Chicanx vocalist and producer Luz Elena Mendoza Ramos’ seventh album with her band, Lucha. “Dibujos de Mi Alma” is part nostalgic indie pop, part psychedelic folk, but mostly rests upon a wispy cumbia rhythm to chart a path forward amid romantic irresolution. The first two minutes are quietly ruminative, like a Helado Negro or Devendra Banhart reverie, with Mendoza repeatedly singing: “Ya ves cuando las cosas no se dicen/Se ven como se ven/Se ven como se van/Son estas palabras que me dejan llevar” (“You can see that when things are left unsaid/They look the way they look/They look the way they go”). But as the track approaches its midpoint, “Dibujos de Mi Alma” grows louder and more confident, evoking Lido Pimienta’s “Te Queria.” A revelation appears like a lost artifact: “Son estas palabras que me dejan llevar” (“These were words allow me to go on”). For Y La Bamba, ambivalence is a guiding force and its own answer.
