Legendariska Los Lobos Åter Till Gävle Konserthus Los Lobos 2018-08-28 13:17 CEST Legendariska Los Lobos åter till Gävle Konserthus I april 2007 spelade Los Lobos för en euforisk publik i ett knökfullt Gävle Konserthus, för övrigt den enda konserten i Sverige. Den 1 september kommer Los Lobos tillbaka till Gävle för en ny konsert. Med sin sköna mix av rockabilly, latin, jazz och blues blandat med sitt mexikanska arv har Los Lobos mutat in sitt eget musikaliska område i över 40 år. Los Lobos bildades 1973 som Los Lobos Del Este Los Angeles och är hos den breda massan antagligen mest kända för filmmusiken till ”La Bamba”, historien om rock’n’roll-stjärnans Ritchie Valens korta liv. Men de är så mycket mer än så. De har sina rötter i mexikansk musik men blandar upp den med rockabilly, latin, jazz, soul och blues. Genom åren har de släppt ett tjugotal studioalbum och valdes 2015 in i Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Senaste plattan Gates of Gold celebrerar immigranternas Amerika och låtarna handlar om ögonblick ur bandmedlemmarnas liv och vilka erfarenheter och val livet bjuder. Hela tiden nyfikna och aktuella har de skannat av och speglat sin samtid. Med rötterna i stadsdelen East LA är Los Lobos självklara företrädare för ”Nuevo Latino” där de blandar det mesta av den mixade kulturen som Los Angeles är byggd kring till en musikalisk gryta av rock, blues, country, tex-mex, r&b, spansk och mexikansk folkmusik. Med sin särpräglade ”Nuevo Latino” har de kommit att bli ett av musikvärlden viktigaste band. Den 1 september kommer Los Lobos till Gävle Konserthus! Los Lobos, som betyder ”vargarna”, består än idag av samma medlemmar som varit med sedan starten: Louie Perez – trummor, gitarr, slagverk, sång Steve Berlin – saxofon, slagverk, flöjt, midsax, munspel, melodika Cesar Rosas – sång, gitarr, mandolin Conrad Lozano – bas, guitarrón, sång David Hidalgo – sång, gitarr, dragspel, slagverk, bas, keyboard, melodika, trummor, violin, banjo Enrique ”Bugs” Gonzalez – trummor/slagverk Sedan invigningen 1998 har Gävle Konserthus varit den naturliga arenan i Gävle för Musik, Mat och Möten. Konserter, kongresser, konferenser, event, middagar och föreställningar samsas med Gävles skönaste utsikt. I konserthuset har även Gävle Symfoniorkester, som firade 100 år 2012, sin hemmascen. Chefdirigent för orkestern är den karismatiske, i London boende, spanjoren Jaime Martín. Kontaktpersoner Christer Björklund Producent Gävle Konserthus [email protected] 026-172916.

    Media Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 25, 2021 Sweetland Amphitheatre to Host Steve Earle & the Dukes and Los Lobos Saturday, August 28th Tickets Available at sweetlandamp.com LaGrange, Ga. August 25, 2021 – Two incredible acts are teaming up for a fantastic night of music at Sweetland Amphitheatre Saturday, August 28th - Steve Earle & the Dukes and Los Lobos. Steve Earle & the Dukes Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protégé of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, he quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, The Pretenders, and countless others. 1986 saw the release of his debut record, Guitar Town, which shot to number one on the country charts and is now regarded as a classic of the Americana genre. Subsequent releases like The Revolution Starts...Now (2004), Washington Square Serenade (2007), and TOWNES (2009) received consecutive GRAMMY® Awards. Los Lobos The journey of Los Lobos began in 1973, as the band earned their stripes playing revved-up versions of Mexican folk music in restaurants and at parties. The band evolved in the 1980s as it tapped into L.A.’s burgeoning punk and college rock scenes. Early on, Los Lobos enjoyed critical success, winning the Grammy® for Best Mexican-American Performance for “Anselma” from its 1983 EP And a Time to Dance. In 1987 with the release of the Ritchie Valens biopic, La Bamba, the quintet’s cover of Valens’ signature song topped the charts in the U.S.

  • La Bamba” by Maegan Moriarty ‘20
    Some notes on “La Bamba” by Maegan Moriarty ‘20 Their album It’s Time conveys the group member’s experiences of being born in LA of ​ ​ immigrant parents, while simultaneously creating Chicano protest music. They are cognizant of the culture and history of son jarocho, and maintain the music’s political edge. The album’s title purposefully does not say what it’s time for because the artists said, “you know what it’s time for — you know and I know. You know what you’re supposed to do, and we want you to do what you’re supposed to do,’” (Johnson 2012). Since the artists leave the interpretation of the album in the hands of the listener, the group is forcing its audience to take control of their thoughts and actions before even listening to their work. A song that particularly shows Las Cafeteras commitment to political activism and their appreciation of son jarocho is “La Bamba Rebelde,” and demonstrates how a widely-listened to song can be utilized to mobilize a group of people. This song is a new version of the Mexican folk song which was made popular by Ritchie Valens in his 1958 rendition and Los Lobos remake in 1987 (Johnson 2012). The song “La Bamba Rebelde,” echoes traditional son jarocho through its instrumentation. At 0:00-0:35, the percussion instruments cajón, marimbula and quijada de burro are audible. The cajón appears to set the beat of the song and the quijada de burro adds a constant additional layer, emphasizing the first note of every four beats.

    ROSIE FLORES WORKING GIRL’S GUITAR RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 16, 2012 When Rosie Flores recently sold a vintage guitar to to a fellow road dog, the late Duane Jarvis, channels a fellow Austin TX musician, he dubbed the beat up some languid, longing Beatles-inflected pop. Adding beauty a real “working girl’s guitar.” The next day he to the light that glows through the sadness is pedal- called with what would be the title track to her latest steel player Greg Leisz, the prolific West Coast multi- album, but, as he told Rosie, “I didn’t write it, the instrumentalist who has appeared on recordings by A- guitar did.” It’s a poetically apt story to sum up the listers such as Dave Alvin, Wilco, Sheryl Crow, Robert transcendental spirit and music of a road survivor like Plant, and Bon Iver. Rosie Flores. The elegantly cool “Love Must Have Passed Me By” is Rosie Flores, the Rockabilly Filly, the versatile virtuoso an old school countrypolitan duet with the pop music on the working girl’s guitar, strips it down to the legend Bobby Vee (“The Night Has a Thousand Eyes,” lean meat of her playing, singing, and songwriting “Take Good Care of My Baby”). “If” is straight up on her 11th album. For the first time, Rosie handles soulful street corner doo-wop and the re-imagining of all production duties and covers all the guitar bases “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” adds some Django and, consequently, Working Girl’s Guitar crackles Reinhardt here and some shuffle there, imbuing it with a loose, straightforward energy fit to be played with an elegiac gentleness reminiscent of the Everly everywhere from palaces to bars.

  • Tedeschi Trucks Band 2016 Wheels of Soul Summer Tour Makes 1St Stop in Rochester
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact Jeffrey Springut (585) 473-4482 [email protected] Photos/Videos/Releases RochesterEvents.com/press Tedeschi Trucks Band 2016 Wheels Of Soul Summer Tour Makes 1st Stop In Rochester Rochester, NY. Rochester Events is thrilled to announce Tedeschi Trucks Band Wheels Of Soul 2016 Summer Tour live at the Highland Bowl Friday, July 8th 2016. Gates Open at 6:00PM. Show starts at 7:00PM. Tedeschi Trucks Band brings their wildly praised Wheels of Soul tour back on the road this summer, adding Los Lobos and North Mississippi Allstars to their list of “rock ‘n soul” collaborators. Rochester’s highly regarded Highland Bowl will host the first stop on the tour. Tedeschi Trucks Band, led by the husband-and-wife team of singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi and guitar virtuoso Derek Trucks, are fresh off of their January 2016 release of Let Me Get By, their debut album for Fantasy Records. The Associated Press stated “Tedeschi Trucks Band has already released one of the great records of the year,” and following the band’s recent filming of Austin City Limits The Austin Chronicle added “There’s no contemporary match for the Tedeschi Trucks Band in that their third LP manages the nearly impossible combination of growth and improvement where none seems possible or necessary.” Since their inception in 2010, TTB have seen both of their previous albums debut in the Top 15 of the Billboard 200, and won a Grammy for their debut album Revelator, an album hailed by Rolling Stone as a “masterpiece.” They tour over 200 days of the year and have built a dedicated following around the world, one powerful performance at a time.

  • Final LOS LOBOS GATES of GOLD
    LOS LOBOS Gates of Gold “We’re a Mexican American band, and no word describes America like immigrant. Most of us are children of immigrants, so it’s perhaps natural that the songs we create celebrate America in this way.” So says Louie Perez, the “poet laureate” and primary wordsmith of Los Lobos, when describing the songs on the band’s new album, Gates of Gold. The stories on Gates of Gold are snapshots of experiences that Perez and his band mates have had, based on where they are emotionally and how they respond to evolving life circumstances. “We live out loud most of the time and share our life this way, but then there are more intrinsic things that happen, and our songs are part of the way we react to them. We sit down and basically tell people what has happened. We certainly didn’t start this project with aspirations to create the musical equivalent to great American literary works.” After celebrating their 40th anniversary with the cleverly titled 2013 live album Disconnected In New York City, the hard working, constantly touring band – David Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano and Steve Berlin – leaps headfirst into their fifth decade with an invitation to join them as they open fresh and exciting new Gates of Gold, their first full length studio album since 2010’s Tin Can Trust (a Grammy nominee for Best Americana Album) and second with Savoy/429 Records. The dynamic songwriting, deeply poetic lyrics, thoughtful romantic and spiritual themes and eclectic blend of styles on the 11 track collection has resulted in an American saga in the rich literary tradition of legendary authors John Steinbeck and William Faulkner.

  • The Battle of Los Angeles: the Cultural Politics of Chicana/O Music in the Greater Eastside
    Battle of Los Angeles | 719 The Battle of Los Angeles: The Cultural Politics of Chicana/o Music in the Greater Eastside Victor Hugo Viesca Chicanos are, when you call yourself that, you know your history, you know where you came from, you know where you need to go. —Yoatl, Aztlán Underground1 I try to find my own Chicana sensibility in the dance. —Martha Gonzales, Quetzal2 ast Los Angeles is the center of a flourishing musical cultural scene with a renewed “Chicana/o” sensibility.3 This scene is being led by a E collective of socially conscious and politically active Latin-fusion bands that emerged in the 1990s, including Aztlán Underground, Blues Experiment, Lysa Flores, Ozomatli, Ollin, Quetzal, Quinto Sol, Slowrider, and Yeska. These groups compose original songs that weave together the sounds of the Ameri- cas, from soul, samba, and the son jarocho to reggae, rumba, and rap. Multilin- gual lyrics in Spanish, English, Cálo, or Nahuatl that speak to themes of urban exile, indigenous identity, and multiracial unity are layered over the music to produce a sonic Chicana/o imaginary of the global city in the twenty-first century.4 Several of the bands within the scene have released full-length al- bums on their own independent record labels such as Xicano Records and Film (Aztlán Underground and Quinto Sol), De Volada Records (Slowrider and Blues Experiment), and Lysa Flores’s Bring Your Love Records (see dis- cography). The bands often collaborate with one another, producing or play- ing on each other’s records and touring on the same bill.
