The Los Lonely Wolves, Los Lobos, Is Still Brilliantly Defying Classification

Los Lobos: 21 August 2012 - Los Angeles
It was on Kiko where Los Lobos decided to throw caution to the wind and just follow their muse to produce an experimental and psychedelic classic. Now, 20 years later, the band finds itself honored with an invite to perform the album in its entirety at the Grammy Museum's ultra-intimate Clive Davis Theater.

'Los Lobos: Kiko Live' Captures the Closest Los Lobos Ever Came to Magical Realism
Kiko is at once a typical Los Lobos album -- full of hard-luck tales and hopes for a better future -- but it's also the only Los Lobos album that might be a little "touched" (as some of our grandmothers might have put it).

Los Lonely Boys + Los Lobos
Despite their disparate dates of inception, it appears that the time for these two Latino-influenced bands to join together for a co-headlining tour has arrived, and there aren’t many double-bills on the road this summer that can match the high-quality tandem of Los Lonely Boys and Los Lobos.

It's easy to take Los Lobos for granted; this album just might fix that.

Los Lobos: The Town and the City
A record full of beauty and pain and fear and hope by five guys who know what the hell they're talking about.

Los Lobos: Wolf Tracks: The Best of Los Lobos
Nothing fancy or sugar-coated here: Simply put, Los Lobos is one of the best bands to ever grace the music world -- period. (And don't argue).
