F riday, July 20 at 7 p.m ., as part o f the
W ells F argo S um m er C o n c ert S eries p re ­

rize, m oves from acoustic folk to all-out rock

Los Lobos, Spanish for “The W olves,”
prove they know the secret to survival.
The East Los A ngeles rockers have com e
back m ore than tw o decades after their debut
album. They are alive and well and still pro­
ducing inventive and passionate rock m usic.
The group perform s at the O regon Zoo on
W ednesday, July 25 at 7 p.m.
Los Lobos draw their sound from a com bi­
nation o f blues, rockabilly, jazz and Latin m u­
sic, filtering it through their M exican-Am eri­
can heritage. Even after more than 30 years
together, the three-time Grammy winnerscon-
tinue to expand and refine their sound, and
their more eclectic albums have won them the
most critical praise and recognition.
C urrently the group is on tour for their
m ost recent release, "The Tow n and the
C ity,” described by Rolling Stone magazine
as magical.
And on July 25, from behind the stage on
their hilly, grass-covered habitat in the Alaska
Tundra exhi bi t, some real gray wol ves w i 11 no
doubt be listening closely to the magic.
