![]() Good Morning Aztlan (2002) [ larger cover art ] |
Tell me please Dear Malaque
Why have our loved ones gone away
Left with nothing much to say
Only the warm place where they lay
On the way to the ruby king
Malaque what do we do
Now there's only me and you
Can we begin our lives anew
After all that we've been through
On this day of the ruby king
We have worked so hard to find
What is yours and what is mine
How does one become so blind
And forget what is divine
In the world of the ruby king
Malaque oh Malaque
Where have our friends all gone today
Gone without a word to say
Only the beds where they once laid
Left to rest with the ruby king
Gone away to the ruby king

And my next book will be by Edith Wharton, thanks to you, and you. A nice and very appealing way to discover an author |

The more I listen to the music of Los Lobos, the more I appreciate their roots, and the music they provide. I came from a very bigoted household, so it's taken some time to unlearn a lot of the hatred and prejudice. Los Lobos is SO far through that stupid wall - I can't believe I don't have all their music! (But I will have, when I can afford it.) I like Los Lobos a lot, too... ![]() |

oh, and did i mention that I like Los Lobos a lot? Don't forget The Ride!! I've seen these guys a dozen or so times. Just tremendous musicians. Sadly, they haven't played in Detroit since our once incredible public radio station switched to nearly all news about 3-4 years ago. I almost bought tickets to see Los Lonely Boys cause Los Lobos is opening, but Los Lobos is not an opening act. |

| bam23 (Berkeley) | Posted: May 13, 2008 - 10:30 I feel compelled to comment on the strangely dismissive approach taken by so many listeners (maybe not a good word choice in this case?) to Los Lobos. It has taken some time to appreciate what they do and what they are, but this is as American a band as one can find. They cover the range of American music really well. Their original work is quite good and deeply in the American tradition. In some ways, the Grateful Dead seem similar to me, in that both groups work from within a folk/country tradition, influenced by southern and urban blues, jazz, and anything else they encounter that makes sense. then they make it something new. And, they are exceptional live. |

Wait a sec, last time I checked, these cabelleros have been together for 30 YEARS, and are poised to be inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame!! And what are they crossing over from? They ARE the genre..they don't need to cross over anything. Except the threshold of imoortality as one of the greatest bands to ever create musico.
Peace out- i have revisited Los Lobos and I think I just might have to agree! This is one of my faves. |
