Comments

Los Lobos sounds really Rock-a-Billy, but it's labelled as "R&B", or "Chicano Rock".

It's alright. Nothing very poppy or special. They cover a range of big topics involving U.S. Immigration, while comparing such events to that of Mexican Folk Lore.

It's has some pretty slick guitar riffs, and a foreign use of Percussion which blend in to give it a collaboration of American and Mexican culture combined.

Not too bad.
