| La Cruzada, the Spanish-language version of Alejandro Escovedo's acclaimed album The Crossing, is out Aug 27 via Yep Roc. |
Sez Alejandro...
“I began developing this story about a southern Italian boy named Salvo and a young boy named Diego from Saltillo, Mexico, who meet in Galveston, Texas while working in an Italian restaurant,” says Escovedo. “They set out on a journey in search of the America created by beat poets, rock ‘n’ roll savants, new wave films, and the underground garage. The America they discover is a very divided and unwelcoming land filled with racism and unrest. La Cruzada is the realization of a dream that I’ve always had to record an album in Spanish in honor of my father’s heritage, and it has finally come to life.”
Pre-order La Cruzada from Yep Roc Records right here. Check out "Algo Azul" followed by a list of upcoming fall tour dates.
