The Labra Brothers Drop New Single Ahead of November LP

Youngstown, Ohio (October 13, 2023) - Latin sibling band The Labra Brothers releases a new Cumbia-style single, “Lonely” on Friday, October 13. “Lonely” gives listeners a taste of the band's upcoming LP releasing on November 3rd: Home. 

With intricate storytelling artfully crafted in both Spanish and English, “Lonely” pays homage to The Labra Brothers’ musical and cultural roots. Various sentiments like love and obsession are explored through interwoven harmonies and rich background instrumentals. Colorful bits of accordion are sprinkled throughout the track, accompanied by Latin percussion elements that will leave listeners tapping their feet to the beat. 

This song is a fresh take on the Latin-Funk genre our music usually fits into. For the creation of “Lonely,” The Labra Brothers put a modern twist on a classic Cumbia-style groove. The band infused traditional sonic elements of the genre such as acoustic guitar, but they personalized it by expanding their percussion section and blending both English and Spanish into their music.

Hey, I’m so done being lonely

Hey, yes you’d better believe me

I’m so done being lonely

Yes you’d better believe when I tell you

That this one is gonna be mine

Tengo un amor que no puedo creer

Todos los días la quiero ver 

En mi canción la quiero poner

y me hace sentir feliz

The Labra Brothers are a Latin Funk sibling band from rustbelt Northeast Ohio. Influenced by the diverse music taste of their parents, the brothers developed a distinguished sound that combines blues, funk, and Latin. After falling in love with playing their own renditions of their favorite music, the band decided to put their talents to work within their original creations. Consisting of Adrian Labra on vocals and guitar, Cristian Labra on vocals and bass, David Labra on vocals, guitar, and sax, Antonio Labra on percussion, Danny Svenson on keys, Victor Labra on vocals and percussion, and Matt Hayes on drums, the band quickly discovered their ability to effortlessly interlock in an instrumental groove with each other. The Labra Brothers continue to release music and have established themselves regionally as a dynamic and diverse powerhouse of musical presentation. With four-part sibling vocal harmonies at the forefront, their versatility has become more evident with each new original studio recording they release. The Brothers had an eventful 2022, during which they played a direct support role for Average White Band, and were voted “Best Latin” by the Cleveland Music Awards. This year (2023), The Labra Brothers opened for Los Lobos, and were awarded Editor’s Pick for “Best Latin Fusion Band” in Cleveland Magazine.
