Los Lobos

Description

Los Lobos, the multiple Grammy Award-winning rock band best known for their hit version of “La Bamba,” are returning to Raue Center for another Latin-infused show in 2018! Los Lobos released their debut album, “Just Another Band From East L.A.” in 1974. In the nearly four decades that have passed, they have repeatedly disproven that title – Los Lobos isn’t “just another” anything and has consistently evolved artistically without losing sight of their humble roots. Los Lobos were already East L.A. legends, Sunset Strip regulars and a Grammy Award-winning band by the time they recorded their major label debut, “How Will The Wolf Survive?” in 1984. Three decades, two more Grammys, a worldwide smash single and thousands of performances across the globe later, Los Lobos is still surviving quite well. Los Lobos released their most recent album, “Gates of Gold,” in 2015. This marked their first full-length studio album since 2010. With 17 studio albums, Los Lobos are known worldwide for their powerful, diverse and distinctive sound. The band blends rock, Tex-Mex, country, blues, folk, and R&B with traditional Mexican folk music like norteño. Los Lobos are now entering their fifth decade, as the humblest of musical icons, having racked up countless accolades for their uncompromising artistry. With four Grammys in hand and the respect and admiration of their musical peers, the band still hearkens back to their beginnings as “the soundtrack of the barrio” and remains a cultural touchstone for a community.
