Los Lobos

[Jackal]

This is a band I have always heard about but never gotten around to listen until recently. I thought they were only doing La Bamba stuff, but it appears they have a very varied catalog of music, even venturing into progressive territory. I like it, and the guitarist is really good.

Here are three tunes I like:

Oh Yeah, I like them a lot. Saw them live last year, took them a while to get going (especially compared with the first act (Los lonely Boys) who had so much energy!) but once they warmed up they put a real nice live show.

The little guitar player in the middel (video) looks like Richard Bennett's Mexican twin (Ricardo Benes?)

[Pottel]

Los lobos rule.

I always though Richard looked like Rolf Harris!

[Jackal]

Quite similar, although I had no idea who that is until I Googled him.

He's quite multi-talented (more a jack-of-all-trades really)!  Apart from being very capable on the wobble board and expert stylophone player (wonder if Guy has tried that ) he is also a more than capable artist.  He presented a TV programme when I was a child called Cartoon Time where he would introduce various cartoons like Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny etc preceeded by himself drawing the character on a sketchboard.  He would draw for a couple of minutes and one would have no idea who it was, then he would turn to the camera, utter his catchphrase "can you tell who it is yet," then simply draw a single line and it all fell into place like magic.  Genius!
