It’s Happening at Chinook Winds • ••by Teresa Simmons
Los Lobos to Perform
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with the
unique sound of Los Lobos on May
4 and 5.
Los Lobos was founded in the early
1970s by David Hidalgo, Cesar Rosas,
Louie Perez, and Conrad Lozano, who
met as students at Garfield High in East
L.A. The four musicians had played a
variety of different styles in
neighborhood groups. Together, the four
friends began studying the traditional
Mexican music their parents played.
The band developed a repertoire of
some 150 traditional songs and played
the acoustic instruments employed by
their Mexican precursors — bajo, sexto,
guitarron, jara requinto, and button
accordion. In time, they became a
fixture in East L.A. playing at barrio
restaurants, weddings, and parties.
May of 1980 saw them take their
first step outside of East L.A., as an
opening act for the local debut of the
punk rock band Public Image, Ltd. at
Olympic Auditorium. In 1982, they
signed with Slash Records and released
“And A Time To Dance,” recorded with
Steve Berlin (now a band member) in
1983. They received a Grammy in 1984
in the newly instituted category of best
Mexican/American performance for the
traditional two-step “Anselma.”
In 1987, Los Lobos found
unprecedented commercial success after
supplying the soundtrack for “La
Bamba,” about the life and tragic death
of Ritchie Valens, the first Hispanic rock
’n’ roll star.
By 1996, Los Lobos were also
increasingly in demand for movie
soundtrack work, and contributed to the
scores of such major Hollywood
productions as “Desparado” (resulting in
a third Grammy), “From Dusk ‘Til
Dawn,” “The Mambo Kings,” and
“Feeling Minnesota.” Los Lobos
