KIKO by Los Lobos

In the late 1980s and early 1990s the band toured extensively throughout the world, opening for such acts as Bob Dylan, U2 and the Grateful Dead.

Los Lobos returned with The Neighborhood in 1990, and the creative and wildly experimental Kiko (produced by Mitchell Froom) in 1992. In 1991, the band contributed a lively cover of "Bertha", a song which they often performed live, to the Grateful Dead tribute/rain forest benefit album Deadicated. In 1994 they also contributed a track, "Down Where the Drunkards Roll", to the Richard Thompson tribute album Beat the Retreat. In 1993, they performed "Feliz Navidad" on the film Sesame Street Stays Up Late!.

On the band's twenty-year anniversary they released a two-CD collection of singles, out-takes, live recordings and hits entitled Just Another Band from East L.A.

* David Hidalgo - vocals, guitar, accordion, fiddle, Requinto jarocho
* Louie Pérez - vocals, guitar, drums, Jarana huasteca
* Cesar Rosas - vocals, guitar, Bajo Sexto
* Conrad Lozano - vocals, bass, Guitarron
* Steve Berlin - keyboards, horns

Bertha & Not Fade Away...one of the best live bands ever too!
