C A N C E L L E D Los Lobos - Hollandby Diatonic News |
 |
| Vrijdag 15 mei in Paradiso Zaal open 19:00, Aanvang 20:30 De Grammy Award winnende band Los Lobos maakt een dansbare mix van Tex-Mex, rock 'n roll, country- en folkmuziek. Oorspronkelijk ontstaan in 1973 als bruiloftsband, maar door heel veel optredens als voorprogramma van onder andere Bob Dylan en The Grateful Dead, - en natuurlijk het onmogelijk uit je hoofd te krijgen ‘La Bamba’ inmiddels een band van belang. In totaal heeft Los Lobos 19 studioalbums uitgebracht met nummers in zowel het Engels als het Spaans. Naar eigen zeggen maken de heren muziek die kan gezien worden als de belichaming van de Verenigde Staten als culturele smeltkroes. Los Lobos Friday May 15 in Paradiso Room open 19:00, starting at 20:30 The Grammy Award winning band Los Lobos makes a danceable mix of Tex-Mex, rock 'n roll, country and folk music. Originally created in 1973 as a wedding band, but thanks to many performances as a support act for Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead, among others - and of course it is impossible to get out of your head "La Bamba" has become a band of interest. In total, Los Lobos has released 19 studio albums with songs in both English and Spanish. They say they make music that can be seen as the embodiment of the United States as a cultural melting pot. http://www.loslobos.org/site/ |
