But what looked like an overnight achievement to the band's new fans was actually a way station in a long musical journey that began in East Los Angeles in 1973 and is still going strong. Across four decades, Los Lobos (Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, and Steve Berlin) have ranged through virtually the entire breadth of American vernacular music, from rockabilly to primal punk rock, R\u0026amp;B to country and folk, Mexican \u003ci\u003eson jarocho\u003c\/i\u003e to Tex-Mex \u003ci\u003econjunto\u003c\/i\u003e and Latin American \u003ci\u003ecumbia\u003c\/i\u003e.

Music journalist Chris Morris draws on new interviews with Los Lobos members and their principal collaborators, as well as his own reporting since the early 1980s, to recount the evolution of Los Lobos's music. He describes the creation of every album, lingering over highlights such as \u003ci\u003eHow Will the Wolf Survive?\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLa Pistola y El Corazon\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eKiko\u003c\/i\u003e, while following the band's trajectory from playing Mexican folk music at weddings and dances in East L.A. to international stardom and major-label success, as well as their independent work in the new millennium. Giving one of the longest-lived and most-honored American rock bands its due, \u003ci\u003eLos Lobos\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the expansive reach and creative experimentalism that few other bands can match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHRIS MORRISis a music journalist and disc jockey.
