The instrumental group LA LOM (The Los Angeles League of Musicians) embodies the rich, multicultural sound of California’s largest metropolis, paying a warm, rhythmic tribute to the city’s musical street life. The trio transcends genre boundaries, blending into their music the sonic styles heard throughout LA’s neighborhoods: from Cumbia Sonidera and romantic boleros to 1960s surf rock and soul ballads. To the twang of South American guitars, with sultry grooves and danceable rhythms, the trio also weaves influences from Peruvian chicha and the raw edges of Bakersfield country into their sound. The result is an instrumental style from the City of Angels that sounds both nostalgically retro and refreshingly modern, presented in a way that is suited to dance clubs and festival stages alike.
