LOS LOBOS

DAVID HIDALGO, CONRAD R. LOZANO, STEVE BERLIN, LOUIE PEREZ, CESAR ROSAS

plus MITCHEL FROOM, ALEX ACUNA, GARY MALLABER, FERMIN HERRERA, etc.

One of the most acclaimed American bands of the 1980s and '90s, Los Lobos were seasoned 

musical veterans with nearly 15 years of experience under their belts when they scored 

their first hit in 1987 with a cover of Richie Valens' "La Bamba." Though their time as pop stars 

was short, the group -- who enjoyed calling themselves "just another band from East L.A." -- 

won over critics and a legion of loyal fans with their bracing mixture of rock, blues, 

Tex-Mex, country, R&B, and Mexican folk sounds, with the band's sound ranging from 

gentle acoustic ballads to the outer limits of experimental rock. 

While often cited as one of the great bands of Latino Rock, Los Lobos' eclectic sound 

in fact defined them as a vital example of America's cultural melting pot

Los Lobos had earned a reputation as one of the most intelligent and creative roots rock acts 

in America with the albums By the Light of the Moon and The Neighborhood, but it was 

with 1992's Kiko that they really demonstrated the breadth of their sonic ambitions. 

Produced in collaboration with Mitchell Froom, Kiko exchanged the more straightforward 

approach of Los Lobos' previous sessions for a uniquely textured sound, with the group's 

guitars thrown into sharp relief against Froom's collection of vintage tape-loop keyboards, 

and the arrangements are often unusually spare, most powerfully in the ghostly spaciousness 

of "Kiko and the Lavender Moon" and "Wake Up Delores." Even the more full-bodied cuts, 

such as the rollicking "That Train Don't Stop Here" and the hard-rocking "Whiskey Trail," 

boast a different personality than in Los Lobos' previous work, with the guitars clean 

but cutting like a switchblade and the drums snapping hard, and the more contemplative 

selections drip with a mysterious, otherworldly ambience that's matched 

by the impressionistic imagery of David Hidalgo and Louie Pérez's superb songs...(AllMusic)
