Los Lobos Sends A Love Letter To Los Angeles

American rock band Los Lobos has released “Native Sons,” a new album that pays tribute to the music of their city — Los Angeles.

David Hidalgo, a founding member of Los Lobos, says that after 48 years playing together, the group wanted to create a record of songs from bands that formed their taste in music growing up.

“Most of the songs that we’ve done on the album are heroes growing up or mentors,'' Hidalgo says. “Throughout the years, we’ve been able to meet these people along the lines and become friends.”
