Los Lobos broke into the mainstream music scene with its stirring rendition of the Richie Valens classic “La Bamba” for the big-screen movie, but began in 1973 as Los Lobos Del Este Los Angeles. The band has evolved into a respected artistic entity searching for themes and topics that are an interpretive pulse of our times. Using musical molds built on the blues, rockabilly, jazz, Latin and the group's own Mexican-American heritage, Los Lobos has never beat fans over the head with politics or agendas. Instead, the band subtly challenges them with conscienceness-raising songs and thought-provoking lyrics.
“With the exception of U2, no other band has stayed on top of its game as long as Los Lobos.” -- ROLLING STONE
