Chris Morris Los Lobos (Hardback) American Music Series (UK IMPORT)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Los LobosCondition: NewDescription: Los Lobos leaped into the national spotlight in 1987, when their cover of “La Bamba” became a No. 1 hit. 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&B to country and folk, Mexican son jarocho to Tex-Mex conjunto and Latin American cumbia. Their sui generis sound has sold millions of albums and won acclaim from fans and critics alike, including three Grammy Awards. Los Lobos, the first book on this unique band, traces the entire arc of the band’s career. 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 How Will the Wolf Survive?, La Pistola y El Corazon, and Kiko, 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, Los Lobos celebrates the expansive reach and creative experimentalism that few other bands can match.Author: Chris MorrisCountry/Region of Manufacture: USEAN: 9780292748231Format: HardbackGenre: Music Dance & TheatreISBN: 9780292748231ISBN-10: 029274823XItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Weight: 454gItem Width: 25mmLanguage: EnglishPublisher: University of Texas PressRelease Date: 09/15/2015Book Series: American Music SeriesSubtitle: Dream in BlueRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
