The young wolves were raised on the soul, R&B, and doo-wop of late-night radio. They healed themselves through the African American currents of blues, jazz, and rock 'n' roll. An amalgam. As proud Chicanos, their songs have always shone with the essence of their Mexican and Latin American roots, nourished by norteña and rancheras, enlivened by bolero and cumbias, and soaring to the rhythm of son huasteco and son jarocho. Los Lobos have helped spread this rich cultural diversity across all continents, throughout the global community.
