 Lana brings her ray of Latin injected sunshine to the people and delivers the ultimate break up song ‘Don’t Call Me Baby’, her debut single released 20th October. The single features the lead track ‘Don’t Call Me Baby’ bringing out Lana’s Latin vibrancy. Having half her heart resting in Spanish territory, she sings a beautiful version of it in Spanish. Lana’s Latin influences were fully honed following a year in Mexico, where she spent a year writing new tunes.
Hanging around with a group of Argentinean musicians, Lana followed them through Mexico supporting them at gigs in Cuernavaca, el DF, Pueblo and later Chiapas and the Yucatan Peninsula. They had a Latin rock band and were informally touring South America, selling artesan bracelets and hand made charms along the way to earn a roof and some bread. Lana sold her handmade silver, her beaded bracelets and necklaces and poured tequila or two and served some tacos when she had to. While her lifestyle was not luxurious by the standards that we know, the people she met, places she saw, things she learned were priceless. † You can catch Lana performing live at the following dates: 7th Oct - In The City, 27th Oct - The Abbey, London, 28th Oct - Cella, Brighton, 29th Oct - The Bedford, London, 30th Oct - Monkey Chews, Camden. www.myspace.com/artistlana
