Originally, they called themselves Los Lobos del Este (de Los Angeles), which was a play on the name of norteño band Los Tigres del Norte plus there was another conjunto band at the time named "Los Lobos Del Norte" who had several albums already out and the fact that they (Los Lobos del Este) were from east L.A. However, Los Lobos took notice of the popular groups on the Hollywood music scene and added influences of rock to its sound. This style of music received a positive reaction from audiences, leading the band to switch genres, performing at hundreds of weddings and dances between 19. The band members were unsatisfied with playing only American Top 40 songs and began experimenting with the traditional Mexican music they listened to as children. Most of the songs were recorded at a studio on Melrose Avenue, located next to the Paramount studios at the time, and a low-priced studio on Sunset Boulevard. To accommodate that situation, their producer Louis Torres would call the engineer, Mark Fleisher, who owned and operated a high-speed tape duplicating studio in Hollywood, to find a studio when he knew all the band members could get off work that night. At that time, they all had regular jobs, and it was hard to get together for the sessions. Their first album, Los Lobos del Este de Los Angeles, was recorded at two studios in Hollywood in 1977 over a period of about four months. They later enlisted fellow students Frank Gonzalez, Cesar Rosas and Conrad Lozano to complete the group's lineup in 1973. Pérez recalls, "We’re looking at each other, 'You like this stuff? I thought I was the only weird one.' So I went over to his house one day for about a year, which we spent listening to records, playing guitars, and starting to write songs." The two borrowed reel-to-reel recorders from a friend and created multitrack recordings of music spanning from parody songs to free-form jazz. Vocalist and guitarist David Hidalgo and drummer Louie Pérez met at Garfield High School in East Los Angeles, California, and bonded over their mutual affinity for obscure musical acts such as Fairport Convention, Randy Newman and Ry Cooder. History 1973–79: Formation and early releases In 2015, they were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It gained international stardom in 1987, when their cover version of Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba" topped the charts in the U.S., the UK and several other countries.
Their music is influenced by rock and roll, Tex-Mex, country, zydeco, folk, R&B, blues, brown-eyed soul, and traditional music such as cumbia, boleros and norteños. Los Lobos ( pronounced, Spanish for "the Wolves") are an American rock band from East Los Angeles, California, United States.
