Hurray For The Riff Raff 'Look Out Mama' LP

Hurray For The Riff Raff began when Alynda Segarra left her native Bronx, New York at the age of 17 and started hopping freight trains across the USA to satisfy a yearning to explore its mythical small towns and backwaters and live a life on the road and the rail track. When the roaming was done she settled in New Orleans, a magnet for the creatively dispossessed, and allowed music to properly take hold of her life. She

quickly embraced the city's own community of street musicians, who encouraged her to develop her voice by singing old Jazz songs. She was soon performing with many of the traditional bands that cluster the sidewalks of the French Quarter, playing and singing while learning from the music of the city she loves.
