OUTLINE

The Blues, as a musical branch, as a chant against the oppression, as a singing to love and suffering, or as a way of life, has been kept to the present and continues spreading in such a way that it has crossed the borders of North America, where it was born, becoming  a strongly influence for musicians of the whole world.

Mexico, our country is not the exception and a clear example is the blues movement that is currently developing, with the participation of several blues groups that carry out an  exhaustive work to spread the culture of blues in Mexico.

La Rambla is a blues band whose main goal is to get anywhere with its music, in a concept that can be defined as "Blues made in Mexico or mexican blues". The music of La Rambla includes classic blues and rhythm & blues with fussions of rock, providing with this a touch of originality.

La Rambla’s repertoire consists of original songs with lyrics in spanish, including themes with common and daily topics, handling a simple, understandable and straightforward language. Their repertoire includes also some interpretations of what are considered as the classic  themes of the blues. Their music is based mainly on the Chicago blues, but united to the variety of influences of each one of their members.

La Rambla has appeared in diverse forums, cultural events, meetings and festivals of blues, being specially important the following ones: Tianguis Cultural del Chopo, Museo Universitario del Chopo of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, massive concerts at the Zocalo and Monumento a la Revolucion in México City, Route 61 Hoochie Coochie Bar, Restaurant-bar Déja Vú, Quimera and Luminaria Festivals, Festival of Jazz of the Mexico City, and they participated in the " International X Festival Aguas-Blues " in the city of Aguascalientes in Mexico.
