Best known for the hit remake of Richie Valens' 'La Bamba,' the East Los Angeles band Los Lobos incorporates traditional Mexican music with a rock 'n' roll edge. The band's latest is called 'The Ride.' Los Lonely Boys are the three Garza brothers -- Henry on guitar, Jojo on bass and Ringo on drums. This remarkable trio plays music drawn from diverse sources, blending their influences into a seamless style. Weaned on Tex-Mex, country, blues and rock 'n' roll pioneers like Richie Valens, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino and such pop music giants as The Beatles, Los Lonely Boys augment those solid basics with red-hot guitar playing, percolating rock and Latin rhythms and dynamic interplay and luscious vocal harmonies. All three brothers also sing -- to produce songs rife with engaging hooks, expressive lyrics and melodic sumptuousness.
