A cal concept album partially inspired by Segarra's first listen to David Bowie's The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust, The Navigator follows the journey of Navita, a Puerta Rican folk-punk who discovers her identity and sharpens her politics as she journeys through the boroughs of New York City

Alynda Lee Segarra, the creative force behind Hurray for the Riff Raff, spent her formative years crisscrossing the country on greyhounds and freight trains. She climbed from the streets of New Orleans to the airwaves of NPR with a washboard and a banjo, a Horatio Alger narrative for the Americana set. Her last LP, Small Town Heroes, felt like a thesis presentation from a student of American folk music. She’d spent years studying the form and its practitioners, a product of a community that helped lift her from street corners and coffee shops to international tours and a record contract. In that sense, The Navigator represents a departure-she hasn’t abandoned those sounds, rather she’s graduated to something singular. It's roots music for the immigrant ID, a folk concept album from a Nuyorican runaway who grew up obsessed with West Side Story before being liberated by Bikini Kill.

It's a concept album in the most complete sense of the term. Its creator is a fierce independent woman with a confident creative vision. Alynda Segarra, aka Hurray for the Riff Raff, returns to her Bronx roots in The Navigator. The album opens- on a track titled "Entrance" no less- with what sounds like the bustle of a subway train running through the tunnels of the NYC transit system.

The band’s sixth album, The Navigator, follows the story of a similar young girl, Navita, as she does the same. Be something!’ goes the rallying cry of the American by-your-bootstraps dream, of ‘Pa'lante,’ Segarra’s ode to the working class Puerto Rican community she grew up with in the Bronx. Colonized and hypnotized, Be something,’ she sings in her piercing, wavering alto over a slightly out-of-tune piano - ‘Sterilized, dehumanized, Be something. A call to keep moving with unwavering memory because we must, ‘Pa'lante’ is Hurray For the Riff Raff’s strongest anthem of resistance to date. Pa’lante" Track Info.
