Luz de Vida -- Spanish for Light of Life -- is an expression of community, love, healing, grace and hope, a positive response from musicians and artists. Ten years ago, following the horrific events known as The Tucson Tragedy, [L-R] Tom Beach, Eric Swedlund, James Tritten, Stephen Seigel, Curtis McCrary, Ryan Trayte, and Nathan Sabatino [not pictured] formed a coalition called Music Against Violence and, along with Fort Lowell Records, released the album Luz de Vida: A Compilation to Benefit the Victims of the Tucson Tragedy to help provide aid and comfort to the victims and their families. To commemorate what took place in 2011, Fort Lowell Records and Zia Records are very excited to announce the official release of Luz de Vida II: A Compilation to Benefit Homicide Survivors, available today -- November 5, 2021 -- on all digital music platforms. All proceeds from both Luz de Vida record sales go directly to Homicide Survivors, Inc.: a non-profit organization that’s helping meet the crisis and long-term needs of families of murder victims through support, advocacy, and assistance. Visit our Bandcamp page now to listen to both Luz de Vida albums, as well as order the vinyl records. Thank you for your continuous support!
“This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before.”
