The members and music of Una Mas y La ChaCha reflect the diversity of Santa Fe – the Indigenous, the descendants of Spanish and Mexican families and multigenerational Anglos residents; and cumbias, boleros, flamenco, 70’s Chicano funk and eclectic covers with the band’s unique spin that they call Northern New Mexico soul music. With a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Brian Shannon, percussionists Adrian Trate and David Gomez supporting the soaring leads of guitarist and band founder D’Santi Nava, and the soulful vocals of Trate and la Cha Cha Krystle Lucero, Una Mas can deliver an intimate performance in a cozy venue that draws in the listener to rocking out before a crowd of thousands at large public events.
An Una Mas show is a night of passion and heritage that has crowds clearing out a dance space for a set of songs by Selena, listening respectfully to a hymn for Quetzalcoatl, or gazing in rapt attention as Nava, “el Brujo,” furiously works the fretboard. To hear Una Mas y la Cha Cha is to be present in a moment that weaves threads of time, genres, and peoples.
