Music reviews of Del Este De Los Angeles: Just Another From East La
Music Review: Extraordinary Band from L.A.
Rating: 5 Stars
These guys rock in English or Spanish, this happens to be in Spanish and oh, so good! This is original music released 22 years later, after the success, sounding oh, so sweet. If you check out the info above you'll get the 411 on the story behind the CD. This is roots music of Los Lobos, when they were playing the local market in L.A. I saw this band then, in it's formative years at my Tio's(uncles) party playing in the back yard!! At the time I thought they were so cool as they blended tradional Mexican music in a slightly different manner, expressive of the times, reflecting the ethnic pride that was everywhere in the 70's. Proud music with new interpretations by young Chicanos. I liked them ever since and have seen them perform at various venues in Mexico and the US, much more eclectic and polished now but still one of the best bands of the last 25 years. The songs included here are fun, acoustic numbers that represent family and strong ties to their heritage. The fact that these guys are having a blast recording is evident as they laugh and whistle throughout, never detracting but adding to the flavor. The styles employed are son jarocho, bolero, rancheras and just plain tradional Mexican music, with a twist. The band whoops it up and gets into that tourist favorite "Cielito Lindo", it's a party atmosphere as the chorus is sung by everyone present joining in. The tune really kicks when they transform it into a son Huasteco by David Hidalgo complete with falseto voice and violin. The harmonizing shines throughout the CD and Cesar Rosas's pipes sound magnificent, young and energetic, less mature sounding to the current Lobos sound. The instruments are played with such passion and precision it is hard to believe that at the time these young studs could play so good. They sound like seasoned veterans of Mexican music. A nice treat is the tradional song "Guantanamera" sung by a rarely featured Conrad Lozano who normally plays bass and guitarron. There is no other way to explain it than to say that this happy music, feel good music that makes you want to move your feet or kick back with a refreshing cool one and a big grin on your face. The boys in the band were not much more than that at the time and the black and white photos included are cool, complete with a hardly recognizable Rosas buried underneath long hair and beard. Hidalgo is more recognizable as he is sporting a full beard for what is now just a goatee. Definitely grenudos!! For long time fans this is a gem, orinal recordings to be filed under Chingon. Music for your next family get together, quality music is always fresh. Great musicians endure styles that change as they never go out of style. Los Lobos are forever young.
Description of Del Este De Los Angeles: Just Another From East La
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Long before they became American rock legends and Grammy favorites, Los Lobos (or rather Los Lobos del Este de Los Angeles--the Wolves of East Los Angeles--as they were then known) turned a faithful musical tutelage by their parents' Mexican folk music records into a steady stream of gigs at parties, weddings, and what was then a career plateau--a regular engagement at a Mexican restaurant. They also invested in this long out-of-print 1978 independent recording of the best of their all-acoustic traditional Mexican repertoire of that time. Perhaps prophetic of the fusion to come, they named themselves after a popular Tex-Mex group, Los Lobos del Norte, but titled the LP in a good-natured nod to Frank Zappa. Though light years from the experimentation of Kiko and Colossal Head, this collection nonetheless exudes a dedication, soul, and sheer musicality that will be instantly familiar to Lobos admirers. Especially in tackling chestnuts such as "Cielito Lindo" (here quickly segueing from typically sloppy party favorite into a fresh, intricate arrangement in a heartbeat) and "Guantanamera" (in a traditional, rhythmically compelling guajira), the Lobos can't resist some loving musical tweaking. More than just the roots of a modern legend, this is truly music from the heart. --Jerry McCulley
