Ava Luna

Founded by multi-instrumentalist/engineer Carlos Hernandez in the late 2000s, Ava Luna relied heavily on vocal harmonies, free forms, and jagged, percussive arrangements before taking their indie art funk in a gradually more structured direction beginning with 2014's Electric Balloon. Three albums later, 2018's still more refined Moon 2 was a more democratic effort with Hernandez stepping back as leader ~ Marcy Donelson
