Description

Since they began as Los Lobos Del Este Los Angeles in 1973, Los Lobos have evolved into a respected artistic entity searching for themes and topics that are an interpretive pulse of our times.

Already big stars in their native East Los Angeles barrios, it was the production of the soundtrack for the 1986 movie, La Bamba, that put them on the national music map. Using a musical blend of blues, R&B, cumbia, barrio rock & roll and their own Mexican American heritage, Los Lobos have developed a distinct sound. They subtly challenge their fans with conscience-raising songs and thought-provoking lyrics. Their latest Hollywood Records release - "The Town and The City" - certainly does that.

The epic "The Town and The City" is told in the first-person, with each song serving as an episodic step in a rough journey that is in your face at times, comforting and nostalgic at others.
