Los Lobos

Ever since Elvis Presley bowed on the national stage, our greatest rock'n'rollers have transmuted personal experience and vision into universal art. So it is with Los Lobos, who have distilled their lives as sons of Los Angeles' predominately Hispanic East Side into powerful, affecting, and uncommon music. Deriving their name, Los Lobos del Este de Los Angeles (the Wolves of East L.A.), from that of a popular Tex-Mex band, Los Lobos del Norte, the band developed a repertoire of some 150 traditional songs, and accompanied themselves on the acoustic instruments employed by their Mexican precursors-bajo sexto, guitarron, jaran requinto, and button accordian. In time, Los Lobos became a popular fixture in East L.A., playing prolifically at barrio restaurants, parties and weddings. In 1978, the band released an LP of traditional material; in a mockingly self-deprecating reference to an album by Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, it was titled Just Another Band From East L.A. But, as that title suggests, the group never left their rock'n'roll roots entirely behind: For one ongoing gig at an Orange County restaurant, they brought their electric instruments along, and shook up the house with a mix of rockers, R&B tunes, and blues covers. Los Lobos had arrived, but they instantly understood that their chart-topping status could become an artistic cul-de-sac. So, in 1988, the band returned to the foundations of their music with La Pistola y El Corazon, an album of acoustic traditional music; it won the group a second Grammy Award. In 1990, the release the all-electric album The Neighborhood, which summed up their major musical and thematic concerns. Los Lobos continue to stake out fresh creative territory in 1999. The release of their Hollywood Records debut This Time was prefaced by a series of releases that found the band members probing the sources of their sound in unexpected ways-Cesar Rosas' Soul Disguise (a stirring roots exploration by the Lobos' rock'n'roll heart and soul), Houndog, (a kozmic blues recital by David Hidalgo and ex-Canned Heat member Mike Halby) and Latin Playboys' Dose (the second avant-garde exploration of Chicano culture by Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Mitchell Froom, and Tchad Blake). Like these releases, This Time ups Los Lobos' artistic ante, and finds this extraordinary band with their feet in the streets of East L.A. and their heads in the stratosphere, forging an altogether unique and prescient music for a new musical millenium.
