Uay – Somos Luz : Listen

Guadalajara-based duo UAY takes their name from the phonetic translation of a Mayan word for spell or wizard, and they do indeed create a sort of magic with their hypnotic, frenzied playing.

Uay has contributed a track to Call and Response, a mutual aid compilation by Halfshell Records artists. 100% of proceeds will be split equally between NAACP, ACLU, National Bail Out, Okra Project, King County Equity Now, Real Rent Duwamish, and Border Angles. 

Uay is Rodrigo Torres (bass/vocals) and Francisco Lopez (guitar/vocals) and a rotating cast of drummers, percussionists, and guest musicians. Francisco and Rodrigo are founding members of the Mexicadelia Festival and have helped cultivate a thriving psych music scene in Guadalajara.
