Los Lobos

For all the trailblazing musical acts who’ve emerged from Los Angeles, very few embody the city’s wildly eclectic spirit more wholeheartedly than Los Lobos. Over the past five decades, the renowned East L.A. band has made an indelible mark on music history by exploring an enormous diversity of genres—rock ‘n’ roll and R&B, surf music and soul, mariachi and música norteña, punk rock and country—and building a boldly unpredictable sound all their own. In their recent work, the multiple Grammy Award-winners and 2021 National Heritage Fellows map their musical DNA by covering a kaleidoscopic selection of songs from their homeland, ultimately creating a crucial snapshot of Los Angeles’ musical heritage.
