Description

The culmination of the day long NM Centennial Summerfest is a free concert by the popular group, Los Lobos. The multiple Grammy Award-winning American blues and rock band from East Los Angeles, California has over three-plus decades become superstars. Their music burst upon the scene in the early1970s and exploded into national prominence with their first Grammy® win in 1984. Now a musical force worldwide, their music is influenced by rock and roll, Tex-Mex, country, folk, R&B, blues, brown-eyed soul, and traditional Spanish and Mexican music such as cumbia, boleros and norteños. Another word for their music is infectious! This crowd-pleasing band will rock the night in celebration of 100 years of New Mexico Statehood.
