La Palma share new single

Based between San Francisco and Washington DC, La Palma is the indie folk duo formed by musicians Chris Walker and Tim Gibbon. The pan-American music project collaborates across the country by passing ideas, demos and recording back and forth to build out compositions that draw inspirations from everyday sounds and experiences.

In 2019 they made their introduction with their eponymous debut album, featuring eleven songs and showcasing their original modern indie folk sound with the world. Since then, they’ve followed up their first record with four well-received singles and the sophomore album titled Moonflower.

Now they bring us their latest work with their new single, “Sangue Latino”, a cover of the song originally written and recorded by Brazilian outfit Secos & Molhados back in 1973. Chris Walker, who’s mother is from Brazil, grew up listening to the song and as such it holds a special place in his heart.

With their worthy tribute to the original, they apply their own take and reimagine the song with delicate sonic textures to create a kaleidoscopic tapestry with psychedelic touches. Layered up with guitars, bass, keyboard and found sound samples, the cover is led by Walker’s intricate and understated vocal work, creating a nostalgic feeling wrapped up in their own unique flair.
