David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano e Steve Berlin se reuniram em 1973 para continuar a tradição americana de importar ritmos e adaptá-los à própria cultura. Muitas levas de artistas latinos já haviam enchido os sonhos americanos da sensualidade do bolero, do merengue, do calipso, do reggae ou do samba. Ritchie Valens, por exemplo, nos anos 50, mesmo dentro da sua breve carreira, estourou com a folclórica La Bamba, apimentada para o gosto americano. Afinal, o Tabasco nasceu no Texas. Los Lobos ficaram conhecidos mundialmente pela participação no filme La Bamba, que retrata em cores vivas a carreira de Valens, culminando com o acidente aéreo que nos roubou também os talentos de Buddy Holly e Big Bopper em 2 de fevereiro de 1959; o dia em que a música morreu.
David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano and Steve Berlin joined in 1973 to continue the American tradition of importing rhythms and adapting them to their own culture. Many waves of Latin artists had already filled the American dream of sensuality through the bolero, the merengue, the calypso, the reggae or the samba. Ritchie Valens, for instance, back in the 50’s, even though he had a brief career, revived the Mexican folk La Bamba, with tons of pepper to the American taste. Remember, Tabasco sauce was born in Texas. Los Lobos became worldly known by their participation in the picture La Bamba, painting in lively colors the drama of Valens, whose life was cut in a flight crash that also stole the talents of Buddy Holly and Big Bopper in February 2, 1959; the day that music died.
