I grew up in Los Angeles. The real LA, not the suburbs but central LA which is maybe why I like Los Lobos so much is that they sound a lot like home. David Hidalgo went to Garfield High and my band used to play dances there... an early incarnation of Los Lobos played at Belmont (my high school) and we both grew up listening to the Midnighters... "Let's Take a Walk Down Whittier Blvd!"
Like I said... Home.
If you don't really know Los Lobos you really should be nice to yourself and listen to one of their albums start to finish or check out their DVD of them at the Fillmore.
Simply an awesome band...
