How Will The Wolf Survive?

Los Lobos

Roots rock changed when this record hit shelves, demonstrating how Mexican folk and American rock and roll could merge. It serves as a narrative piece, documenting the immigrant experience with an urgency that remains present today.

During a period where the group evolved from local performers into a national force, the production maintains an honest, gritty warmth. Clean guitar lines and harmonies highlight their East L.A. roots, creating a sound that feels both regional and broad.
