LOS LOBOS

About this event

Starts at $87 With Opening Support from Taylor Scott. It’s a matter of time—50 years, to be exact. And in that time, Los Lobos have created an unprecedented body of work and a legacy of greatness. The numbers are staggering: more than 100 gigs a year for five decades, crossing millions of miles to rock millions of fans. And that’s just the live shows. In between, they’ve recorded 17 studio albums, seven live LPs, three compilations, two EPs, and two DVDs, while contributing more than 40 guest appearances to their friends’ recordings—all garnering four Grammys, an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction, the ALMA Ritchie Valens Pioneer Award, National Endowment for the Arts and Hispanic Heritage Foundation honors, congressional recognition, and countless “Keys to the City” and “Los Lobos Day” celebrations. And those are just a few of the highlights. Beyond all the hoopla and applause—and the source of it all, really—is tremendous heart. Rather, hearts. Cinco corazones. Five blood brothers who have dedicated their offstage time to helping others, working for peace and justice, and writing some of the most literate and important music of their time. They have transformed the hard cries of the East L.A. barrio into songs of hope and stories of ordinary people finding ways to endure. The young wolves were weaned on late-night radio’s soul, R&B, and doo-wop. They were cured through the African American currents of blues, jazz, and rock ’n roll—an amalgam. As proud Chicanos, their songs have always glistened with the distillation of their Mexican and Latin American roots—nourished by Norteña and rancheras, buoyed by bolero and cumbias, and soaring on the rhythms of son huasteco and son jarocho. *Donors of $500 or more to the 2027 Annual Fund receive presale access.
