Los Lobos

Fusing good old fashioned rock and roll with brown-eyed soul, cumbia, boleros and norteno, Tex-Mex outfit Los Lobos (which translates to The Wolves) first gained commercial success and an international following when their cover of Ritchie Valens' La Bamba hit the top of the charts around the world in 1987. Experimenting with multiple genres over the decades, their wide-ranging sound has flourished in a variety of styles, from acoustic ballads to experimental rock. Whilst they may reinvent themselves constantly, their definitive fusion of Latin and American music remains at the creative core.

Dubbed both 'Mexico's Aretha Franklin' and the 'Queen of the Ranchera', Aida Cuevas has spent over four decades at the center of Mexican and Latin American music, from her early exposure on the weekly radio program 'El Taller XEW' to the cultivation of an inimitable voice, style, charisma and tour-de-force performances that mark her a living legend.
