La Bomba and Lady Santana

This mural pays respect to the young men who have lost their life due to gang violence. The mural is composed of two images: La Bomba and Lady SanTana. La Bomba is a type of a low rider car favored by Mexican-Americans/ Chicano youth. The guiding principle of low-rider cars are bajito y suavecito: “low and slow.” On the sombrero of Lady SanTana it reads “SanTana;” Santa Ana is commonly pronounced as one word by long-term residents of the city.
