Luz de Vida

Luz de Vida is a charity album benefiting the Tucson Together Fund, supporting those affected by the 2011 shooting in Tucson, Arizona. Similar to Can We Get Together, another album with the same cause, Luz de Vida (whose title is Spanish for "Light of life") features a large lineup of Tucson-based artists, but unlike that album, a number of nationally-famous acts from Tucson are featured. The album was released by Fort Lowell Records on October 18, 2011 on Bandcamp and as a limited-EDition 12-song vinyl, and was sanctioned by Music Against Violence, a coalition of Tucson-based writers, recording engineers, and venue operators. As of April 29, 2016, the album is still available for purchase on Bandcamp.
