"From a Preview Center in a small room to a healthy, (almost) accredited Museum in just twenty years. Amazing! Glorious! And we just keep getting better."

Los Lobos, the hard working, constantly touring band comprised of David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano and Steve Berlin has sold millions of records, won prestigious awards and made fans around the world. The Grammy®-winning band, has prided itself on never covering the same ground twice while making music for nearly 50 years.

On October 4, the band released their first-ever Christmas album – Llegó Navidad –breaking the holiday-album mold. But perhaps Los Lobos’ most lasting impact will be how well its music embodies the idea of America as a cultural melting pot. Styles like son jarocho, norteño, Tejano, folk, country, doo-wop, soul, R&B, rock ’n’ roll and punk all come together to create a new sound that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
