One Of The Original Bands Of the 80s - Los Lobos Concerts
rowena on Mar 6th 2009
They made the hit La Bamba, and made a distinct imprint on the world of rock. There are so many intellectual reasons to champion Los Lobos, such as their American Dream-like rise from the “other” side of the Los Angeles River to international stardom, or their nearly seamless stylistic embrace of blues, rockabilly, R&B, country, heartland rock, jazz, folk, Tex-Mex, norteno and Mexican traditionals, their success at delivering without compromise the music of their Mexican-American heritage to a wider audience, and their uncommon ability to bring people of various cultures together through their music. But more than anything else, Los Lobos are just a great rock band.
Los Lobos was one of America’s most distinctive and original bands of the ’80s. They may have had a hit with “La Bamba” in 1987, yet that cover barely scratches the surface of their talents. Los Lobos is eclectic in the best sense of the word. While they draw equally from rock, Tex-Mex, country, folk, R&B, blues, and traditional Spanish and Mexican music, their music never sounds forced or self-conscious. Instead, all of their influences become one graceful, gritty sound. From their very first recordings their rich musicality was apparent; on nearly every subsequent record they have found ways to redefine and expand their sound, without ever straying from the musical traditions that form the heart and soul of the band.
