Like many singer-songwriters, Lisa Morales started penning tunes as a way to express her emotions addressing the complex landscape of relationships through music and verse. Her perspective now is that of a woman who’s gone through many storms and witnessed their sometimes-beautiful aftermaths as well.
With Luna Negra and the Daughter of the Sun, Morales sought to reach even more deeply into her soul. Drawing from a creative palette informed by the rhythms, colors and flavors of the Southwest, from the painted-desert skies of her native Tucson, Arizona, where she and cousin Linda Ronstadt grew up, to the sea-salted air of Houston, where she moved at 18, and the history-filled city of San Antonio, where she now lives, she’s crafted an album of maturity, sensitivity and strength.
On each of its 11 tracks, all but one of which were written or co-written by Morales, she confirms that she is a woman in touch with her emotions and inner power. Lyrics, sung in English, Spanish and Spanglish, also convey the promise of new beginnings.
Lisa Morales shared the stage with Hayes Carll and Graham Wilkinson at the Nutty Brown Amphitheatre. They continue across the United States with the last stop at the The Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe in Galveston, Texas on June 11, 2021.
