Los Lobos in Lebanon

By Liz Bulkley on Wednesday, September 28, 2005.

Los Lobos brought Latin American music into the U.S. mainstream decades before anyone had heard of Marc Anthony or Ricky Martin. The band from East L.A. released their first full-length album to critical acclaim back in 1984, and a few years later they topped the charts with their rendition of Ritchie Valens' La Bamba. They've been going strong ever since, and this weekend they'll bring their mix of rock 'n' roll and Mexican folk music to the Lebanon Opera House. Also on the show we hear a vintage interview Shay Zeller did with Marylou Ashooh Lazos about the history of baseball in New Hampshire. Ashooh Lazos is the curator of the Manchester Millyard Museum.
