  • Sweetland Amphitheatre to Host Steve Earle & the Dukes and Los Lobos Saturday, August 28Th
    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.

  • 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.
