Los Lobos

Multiple Grammy Award winning American Chicano rock band founded in 1973 in Dixon, California. 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. Francisco González (Died 30 March 2022) was a Los Lobos (1973–1976) founding member and guitar-string pioneer. He played with Los Lobos in the early to mid-1970s, though not on the band's 1977 debut album of Mexican folk music. (aged 68)
