The Grammy-winning group Los Lobos celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. In 1973, original members David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, Cesar Rosas and Conrad Lozano began their career playing revved-up versions of Mexican folk music in restaurants and at parties. The band evolved in the 1980s as it tapped into L.A.’s burgeoning punk and college rock scenes, adding saxophonist Steve Berlin in 1984 and releasing its full-length, major-label debut, How Will the Wolf Survive?, which was co-produced by Berlin and T Bone Burnett.

Los Lobos is featured in the museum’s current exhibition Western Edge: The Roots and Reverberations of Los Angeles Country-Rock, presented by City National Bank.
