Aha Moment: Lydia Mendoza

Studio 360

Alyssa Lamb sings in a Brooklyn-based band called Las Rubias del Norte, ‘the Blondes of the North.’ But her path to singing was circuitous-she was playing the accordion when an injury kept her home alone. She found her calling by singing along with the powerful voice of Lydia Mendoza, a legend of Texas-Mexican music. Produced by Trey Kay.
