Dec. 18, 2019 | Felix Contreras -- When Los Lobos gathered behind the Tiny Desk, it felt like they were cramped in the back room of a family Christmas party. "The only thing missing today are the tamales!," I told my office mates while introducing the band, a reference to a Mexican-American Christmas meal staple. The vibe in the room was definitely familia, with the presence of many long-time fans as well as folks who came for the holiday cheer, Lobos style.
The band called up tunes from the Latin Holiday song book, straight from their recently released, first-ever Christmas album, Llegó Navidad, a bilingual collection of songs from across Latin America and the U.S.
They kicked it off with an obscure novelty hit that was once popular in Latino households in the southwest, "¿Dónde Está Santa Claus?." It was originally a lushly orchestrated affair that is now a "lowrider oldie."
The new album's title cut, "Llegó Navidad," is actually a classic from the Fania Records catalog originally performed by the Puerto Rican composer and singer Ismael Rivera. Los Lobos retains its pan Latin callout to holiday celebrations across Latin America, set to a slow burning montuno groove.
The band adds a David Hidalgo and Louie Perez original to the Latin holiday songbook with "Christmas and You," a plaintive ballad about desperate loss that we would easily call a carte vena (vein cutter). The great Mexican essayist Alma Guillermoprieto once wrote that it's not a real Mexican party "until someone cries" and this song does the trick.
The party ends by sending everyone home, dancing with "It's Christmas Time In Texas," a song by the great Tex- Mex troubadour, Freddy Fender. It's a Los Lobos scorcher, complete with accordion and good times that would get even abuelita dancing.

The people in the studio are so lucky to be hearing this live. Everything in their songs sounds beautiful.
the greatest American rock band ....for more than 40 years! Viva los lobos del este de los angeles
The pride and joy of Boyle Heights, East Los. Vivan los Lobos! The hardest working band in the world. Feliz Navidad a todos, may the next year be a good one para ustedes. Solidaridad!
Viva Los Lobos! This is the best Christmas music present ever.
Followed these guys back when they were still playing quinceaneras and weddings in LA a long time ago. In Denver now but their music brings back East LA and a kind of sweet and deep cross cultural effort and moment.
Almost every Los Lobos show I've been to is like a block party. They are such a great band and the fans know their music. Never disappointed in listening to them. Orale`.
Love Los Lobos. World's most underrated band.
Perfect way to move into the Holiday spirit. Imagine yourself on a beach in Mexico with them playing in the background.
Pensando muy bien ¿qué fue lo que me hizo querer ser músico?... Yo era un adolescente en los años 80's y al escuchar la OST de La Bamba con la música de Ritchie Valens interpretada de manera sublime por ellos "Los Lobos" fue el desencadenante (también la música de Ry Cooder en "Crossroads") para que yo intente el milagro de la música..., en parte yo he logrado parte de aquel sueño..., y lo más importante es..., que lo sigo intentando..., así que desde mi corazón y mi alma les agradezco a todos ellos haber labrado en mí mi vocación musical... ¡¡¡FELICES FIESTAS PARA TODOS CON MUCHAS FELICIDADES Y UN PRÓSPERO AÑO NUEVO 2020!!!...
¡Muchas gracias y mejores deseos para usted tambien!
@@GiacomodellaSvezia ¡Felicidades!..., ¡Saludos desde Málaga!...

I first saw Los Lobos when they opened for The Clash in SF. Los Lobos were better than The Clash ! I saw them again at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz the same year. These guys really know how to put on a show. Thanks for the show NPR. I am pulling out my old CD’s after the concert is over...
Orale! Los Lobos keep on rocking keep on cumbia and salsa, ya viejos but young in spirit, from East LA to the world best wishes for all of you in 2020.
This has made my day it’s Christmas Eve and found this. Thank you Los Lobos please come back to the UK in 2020 that includes you Caesar Rosas. Merry Christmas
seeing band members being wrapped with the decoration lights has made me laugh i dont know why but it has made my day :)
Excelente! aunque toy muy lejos de mi familia y mi pais, les escucho y me hace sentir feliz!
Dr Mr and Misses NPR Music: I known about this channel for years; I have a musician friend who recommended me this channel because his favourite artists (indie) were here doing amazing performances. I didn’t really vibe with this channel back then because I didn’t see any added value (let me explain). These artists sounded great on record and on any other live performance. However, a couple of years ago you started promoting rap, beat makers, hip hop artists and let me tell you: the added value of getting to listen to my favorite rappers performing at your studio is PRICELESS (and I’m not even trying to exaggerate). Most of them don’t perform AS well on live shows, the audience is too big, the playback is basically a necessity and it’s not a comfortable setting to really appreciate the crazy talent of all these people. In conclusion, thank you for promoting rappers. I hope you would upload full EPs, LPs as live shows. To be honest, I don’t know what the limitation is. Keep doing what you do best. Love from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
This is a great Christmas wrap for me. Viva Los Lobos!!!
Gotta love Los Lobos
Los Lobos!!!! Haven’t heard them in ages!!!
Lovely to wake up to this on Chrismas Eve here in Aotearoa NZ, Happy Holidays to one and all :-)
What a way to start off my morning :)
This was the Los Lobos Christmas album I didn't know I needed thanks npr!
Love love Los Lobos
Finally a Christmas song I can relate to 😆
when your dad and your best friend's dads get together in a pub for a jonathan richman tribute show and decide to throw a bedroom surf concert party just to cheer up (but also embarrass a bit) their sad angsty teenage kids that are only listening to the national and phoebe bridgers
Oddly specific but same
@@rotsu2108 yeah, same same.
Same but different. Bigly.
Naaaa son its LOS LOBOS

Legends.
Es todo mi raza, just as beautiful in 2024 as it was then. I think my amigo on the 16 string anda bien crudo 😂
And still as cool as always...
Thank you so much, gentlemen! I love to hear you play and sing! Merry Christmas and may the new year bring you joy!
Last time I saw them perform was on La Bamba 🎸
Sensacional
thank u for your teachings
Thee best legend band I've seen it was a treat thank you.
still one of my favorite bands!!!
Hermoso regalo de navidad!!
Love this performance since it the band gives emotive/passionate performance. As a composer of original music themes for comics performed on the guitar who trained musically on piano and the viola in secondary and college bands as well as orchestras, I love hearing various genres to get ideas for my original music which is upcoming going to entail Latin Music influences to represent Latino characters. So it was great to hear and see these players!
Merry Christmas everyone ❤️
Feliz Navidad
Happy Festivus
