Los Lobos Nominated for Rock Hall of Fame
Los Lobos, the Mexican-American band from East Los Angeles, has been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One observer refers to Los Lobos as “immigrant voices in America.”
Here is a link to five videos that the Los Angeles Times claims demonstrates that Los Lobos deserves the Hall of Fame nomination.
Los Lobos (“The Wolves”) have won multiple Grammy Awards. Their music is influenced by rock and roll, Tex-Mex, country, folk, R&B, blues, soul, and traditional music such as cumbia, boleros and norteños. They gained international stardom in 1987 when their cover version of Ritchie Valens‘ “La Bamba“ topped the charts.
I am looking forward to seeing Los Lobos tonight at the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts in Davis.
