Hurray For The Riff The Navigator [Slipcase]

"[A] coming-of-age concept LP about a young woman that suggests Patti Smith as a barrio poet....This is proudly intersectional folk music."
"[T]he identity behind THE NAVIGATOR's politically-charged, vividly-realised song cycle was proudly that of Segarra; a singular talent, finally being given a platform."
"On THE NAVIGATOR, Alynda Segarra, the sole permanent member of Hurray For The Riff Raff, fights the tendency to erase and assimilate, instead celebrating the lives of the displaced and dispossessed through snatches of gospel and bomba, doo wop and Dylan."
"Raised in the Bronx, New York but honing her craft in New Orleans, where she formed the band while busking on the city's streets, it isn't just Alynda's strident vocal that's powerful -- it's what she's saying with it."
Paste (magazine) - "As an album, THE NAVIGATOR's musicality -- both the melodic nature of its songs and its musical-like structure -- highlight Segarra's raw talent and growth as an artist."
