Hurray for the Riff Raff is the band Alynda Mariposa Segarra, a singer-songwriter from the Bronx, New York, put together in New Orleans in 2007. Segarra sings lead and plays banjo and guitar, and the early records, released independently, roamed through different strands of folk music.
The Navigator, from 2017, broadened the canvas: songs like "Hungry Ghost", "Living in the City" and "Rican Beach" pull folk toward rock and wide-screen storytelling, with Segarra's voice at once tender and defiant. Life on Earth, in 2022, carried "RHODODENDRON", a lush, restless track that sounds like something blooming through concrete.
The Past Is Still Alive followed in 2024, with "Hawkmoon" pushing Segarra's roots-rock into sharper, more urgent territory. They record for ATO Records.
