Los Lobos leaped into the national spotlight in 1987, when their
cover of "La Bamba" became a No. 1 hit. But what looked like an
overnight achievement to the band's new fans was actually a way
station in a long musical journey that began in East Los Angeles in
1973 and is still going strong. Across four decades, Los Lobos
(Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, and Steve
Berlin) have ranged through virtually the entire breadth of
American vernacular music, from rockabilly to primal punk rock,
R&B to country and folk, Mexican son jarocho to Tex-Mex
conjunto and Latin American cumbia. Their sui generis sound has
sold millions of albums and won acclaim from fans and critics
alike, including three Grammy Awards. Los Lobos, the first book on
this unique band, traces the entire arc of the band's career. Music
journalist Chris Morris draws on new interviews with Los Lobos
members and their principal collaborators, as well as his own
reporting since the early 1980s, to recount the evolution of Los
Lobos's music. He describes the creation of every album, lingering
over highlights such as How Will the Wolf Survive?, La Pistola y El
Corazon, and Kiko, while following the band's trajectory from
playing Mexican folk music at weddings and dances in East L.A. to
international stardom and major-label success, as well as their
independent work in the new millennium. Giving one of the
longest-lived and most-honored American rock bands its due, Los
Lobos celebrates the expansive reach and creative experimentalism
that few other bands can match.
