Hurray for the Riff Raff is the brainchild of Alynda Segarra, a singer/songwriter of Puerto Rican descent born and raised in the Bronx, whose musical imagination was first sparked by punk on the lower east side, beatnik poetry, and the legacy of Nuyorican activists, the Young Lords. Segarra settled in New Orleans around 2004 and began performing on the street, since then Alynda has released 6 albums under the moniker Hurray for the Riff Raff, each expanding the Folk-Rock sound and writing anthemic protest songs for our time.
