Hurray for the Riff Raff
Hurray for the Riff Raff is a project by Alynda Segarra. Her latest album 'The Navigator' tells an interwoven, cinematic story of a wandering soul named Navita at a crossroads of identity and ancestral weight. The song songs were inspired by Segarra's own journey from the Bronx to the downtown punk scene and beyond, IN SEARCH OF her identity. She looked to poetry including Pedro Pietri's 'Puerto Rican Obituary' and the Nuyorican Cafe, the singer-songwriter Rodriguez, Puerto Rican activist groups the Young Lords and the Ghetto Brothers, Fania Records and more.
