Los Lonely Boys
They are Tejano new generations who roll and eat various music by tortilla.
(Writer/ Kiyoshi Ueno)

　"They are Tejano who born and grew up in Texas. their nationality may be different.,but the bottom is the same young man. Let's make customary Fiesta a weekend, eating hamburgers and tacos! Music is spice and air. They invited lovely girls there. Anyway, the spot rises in the beginning. Spanish is made for their blood to be excited. Night goes on rising. Soon, the boy and girl who were kindred spirits bring near each other's shoulder, go into a ballade and go…."
　This is the concept of 12 music in their album. It became perfect in the last music "La Contestacion"….
　This is one sentence written immediately, after I finished listening to the first album of Los Lonely Boys. And this was carried by the recommendation comment collection for sale of Epic. Probably, we should not show people it essentially, since this is the text which breaks off too much.
　However, I was required for this time as write a point of contact with the backbone of their music, a family line, Tejano music, and the public music of Mexico over the border etc, and I thought that I did not need to correct my impression in the beginning at all after listening to it repeatedly, and I decided to dare quote it. Originally, if I present their music name, it will be "Heaven" nominated for Grammy Award 2 section (The album of a self title itself was nominated for 4 sections of the Grammy Award.), however, it was a private comment, so, I presented "La Contestacion" from the result. Well, at least the example will be the object data that the expectation for them is very high.
　You would know that 7 sections are prepared in the Grammy Award for Latin music. Los Lonely Boys was not nominated for the Latin section. A Tejano album section and a rock Latino section are also in that, so that Originally, it is not probably wrong even if they are nominated for them.There is some music songs in Spanish in their album, and "Heaven" begins from a shout called "Vanomos" which is the Spanish of Mexico and Central America. Because the Spanish of the Caribbean Sea is the pronunciation for which "s" of that disappears completely, they do self-expression of coming out Cikanoes and Tejanos unconsciously. First song "Senorita" in their album is the one which made Spanish intermingled into English.

They are the representatives of dreams and ardent wishes which Cikanos have.

　Now, I have to introduce the profile of Los Lonely Boys used as the Japanese first sight. The father of the brothers was a very famous musician among Tejanoes. They had sung on the stage with their father since they were young.
　When Tejano or Cikano musicians are introduced in Japan, it is common that they already have stacked the remarkable career. When the album of Serena called the queen of Tejano was put on the market in Japan, she had already passed away. She was shot dead by the woman who had joined her fan club when she was 24 years old which was the heydays, and taking advantage of the incident, her work came to be put on the market at last in Japan.
　Santana is a worldly-wise and compassionate person. he built his career in his sweat and tear and came out as violin player who played the Mexico ground worldly folk song etc since he were little child. As they came from Spanish area, although they are not Tejanos, after Shakira from Colombia were for 5 years or more, Taria from Mexico and Ricky Martin from Puerto Rico had stacked the career for 15 years or more in their country, They were completely introduced at last in Japan. When they are considered, it is very new that the first album of Los Lonely Boys was put on the market early although it was late from the United States abbreviation half a year. Without mentioning, while they also prized the songs in Spanish, it was a leading key to a success that they gave priority to the English songs. This corresponds to telling with the recollections to Richie Valens, when music persons-concerned each media in the U.S. which extols their music introduce them.
　Richie who was Cikano pushed in the English song from the beginning. His hit song is "La Bamba", which made rolling and district at a rock taste to the symbolic of the folk song in the Veracruz. He created one after another in only 8 months unforgettable songs "Donna", "Come on, let's go" and " We belong together", and has died like a comet at the age of only 17. "Before me, Richie Valens was so, and now Los Lonely Boys is the representative of my dreams and ardent wishes. Therefore, our future is bright." Carlos Santana was said in the interview of "Billboard." The Tejano female singer Serena who passed away in the unhappy incident in that was in mind. Although they lost Serena, soon,they were able to find out this young compatriot called Los Lonely Boys. "I feel reassured Talented younger brothers. " Santana said.This is certain that it's great joint manifestation of his style.

The background that local CD became a United States scale.

　Three brothers who made them tell Santana already are enough great. It isn't simply said about music. "Politics" is involved delicately. When Santana says "our dreams and ardent wishes", he is clearly conscious of himself as Cikano. He had not spoken as an American, but told as Cikano. When his bronze statue was built in his hometown Michoacan Village, the maestro who was present there acted as muy Mexicano,or a person from Mexico by nature. Santana is put at the view into Los Lonely Boys music to expansion of the citizenship of Cikano in the U.S..
　I have to explain what is it. For example, the U.S. presidential election occurred in 2004. That was the national election which was conscious of the Hispanic vote, so that there is no example once. It was said that Christian fundamentalists' vote in the U.S. Southern States led Bush to reelection, and the Hispanic electors are deeply concerned with it. When Bush who was friendly in contact with Tejanos first won the President, he performed the campaign speech in Spanish for the first time as a major candidate. It was what is recorded in a U.S. political history, In this election, both the parties of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party had to pay great concern to it , that Hispanic electors used their right intentionally. Once, most Hispanic voted for the Democratic Party, however, since the electors expanded, the conventional election sketch changed.
　I'm going to stop it, because this is not the place which criticizes an election result. Hispanic population has already exceeded African-American population, and the trend of the Mexico system immigration which is the maximum race in that has a possibility of reforming the U.S. politics. As for "our dreams or hopes" which Santana said, something is not shown concretely , but It will be clear to have collected the Latin culture which serves as common sense in the American society, expansion of Cikano or Hispanic citizenship, maturity of their culture.
　In the time when Richie Valens came out, they could not but sing by English words, except for his song " La Bamba", however, the time changed. Los Lonely Boys is enjoying the predominancy as bilingual.That is, their self title album corresponds to the situation of having come out as local CD of Texas in the beginning. It is as being in the comment which I described in this beginning, and is because the Fiesta of a weekend which was in their living environment was made to the concept. It was the plan tried as a method of selling to local Tejano more as local version.
　Tejano artists have been making the album which made English and Spanish intermingled for some time. My favorite Tejano is Rick Trebino (He may be working even now, but I am not hearing his news recently.) He produced the album which made two languages go back and forth very smoothly, using Country & western, Bluegrass, and Nortejo.He must have been expected as a Latin leading newcomer of Epic. Gerald of rap/spanglish(who was the center of attention even in Japan temporarily) was also a artist of talent.
　The reasons local CD of Los Lonely Boys carried out self-multiplication to the United States are certain that it is the expansion of Cikano society and there is a social background of rapid increase of Hispanic population. People who accept only an English song also listened to their music that is like Richie's rock of former years was reproduced, the"gentle" rock , the rock with passion which appeared suddenly in the time of the the hiphop height of prosperity, people heard revival of the music forgotten for a long time. And probably, their song became a United States hit.

The generation newer than Los Lobos.

　Henry who is three brothers' eldest son says.
　"People always ask us what kind of style we play. I tell 'em it's a cross between Stevie Ray meets Santana, Jimi Hendrix meets Richie Valens, or the Beatles meet Ronnie Milsap. I call it my music burrito theory." This means that their music is various, however we think of it more. A tortilla keeps being useful as main foods in the meso America area from The Maya or the Asteca civilization rise age. He says definitely that their music has taken in various materials, and it is always rolling and digesting them by tortilla.Santana did not miss this and is criticizing it.
　 Santana cames out from his hometown Michoacan Village to the U.S. border, and made his living by playing a violin. At the time when he arrived in the U.S. soon, Richie's music was before him. An old hit song used to last long.
　Cikano which came out after Santana was Los Lobos. They also came out as a traditional Mexican music player at first in California, not the rock player. In the movie "La Bamba" (Director Lewis Valdes, '87 ) which expressed the short whole life of Richie a little sentimentally, Los Lobos sang "La Bamba" by the Gulf of Mexico shore district music Harocho, with the Veracruz tradition clothes, and the tradition musical instruments .You might miss the scene, because there was no credit of theirs on the scene. It was the important scene on which Richie wakes up to hisown music. For me who had listened to the Harocho version "La Bamba" repeatedly in Mexico, it was a very much interesting scene, but this song was not contained in the sound track.
　"We listened to our dad more than the radio. [He] was our biggest influence… We looked forward to the chance to get up with his brothers and sing 'La Bamba.' " Henry said, and of course, it is the Richie version "La Bamba" which arranged at light musicby Tony Lopes .Los Lonely Boys played the "La Bamba" with Santana in the award ceremony of the Latin Grammy Award last year ('04).
　I think they Probably will not have the technique in which folk like Los Lobos can be performed as it is. For example, they probably will not able to sing Harocho like Los Lobos to which the Mexican people are impressed. Their father could do it, however, surely there are some which are lost in a change of generation. It compares with the situation that Mexican artists cross the border continuously in order to make the old people who miss that time listen to their music.
　Texas as a U.S. southernmost tip state is always the place which can listen to the Mexican public music. Nortejo, Bamda, Grupela, etc…there is a Satellite Broadcast which can hear theｍ all the time, Los Lonely Boys are just influenced by it. I wrote some Mexican public music to the example here. They have each history, however, it seems that there is no margin in space in order to explain them for me. In the satellite broadcasting, various music other than the rock or the pops can be listened to. And the music TV has main video Cripps. I heard that Los Lonely Boys often watch and listen to them.
　"More Than Love", this video clip is made by the method of just Grupela or Nortejo.It is the image which does not get refined, like the cry of cows are to be heard from a pasture. People who watched such a video clip for the first time will feel it cheap. It isn't so gorgeous like Lewis Miguel, and is not pop using computer graphics mostly like Taria, either. However, Tejano and Mexican are pleased with it. The video clip is made such intentionally. I think that it's Probably their essence. Also in "Heaven" nominated for the Grammy Award, they have sung in the cloister which put the Saint (Sant) images that Iberia catholicism is thick.

　 Anyhow, there is a limit to tell you Los Lonely Boys music by means of words. Although I will suggest to you, you had better actually listen to their music.You may long for The Eagles or "Donna" by Richie, or impress Henry's guitar which makes it bear a close resemblance to Santana. That is, their music has the special feature that sound is new, though there is nostalgia. The "newness" does not have unnaturally at all, and produced from the good orthodox approach of a family line.
