A Musical Masterpiece
Every song creates an atmosphere which is what great music does. Los Lobos created a real gem here. If you don't have this in your collection, BUY NOW!!!.


One of the greatest finds ever!
I have loaned several copies out, only to have them never returned. I first heard this cd in 1993. This cd totally blew me away and made me an instant fan. If you don't know this cd, get it. There are only a handful of cd's I would take the time to write about, but this one should have so much more recognition!.


One of the best, from one of the very best
No one has ever combined so many strains of American music so successfully. Los Lobos are a national treasure. "Kiko" expanded the band's reach into new areas, as they tried out sampled percussion and vintage wind sounds. Producer Mitchell Froom pointed the way for them, but no matter how far they got from their classic guitar-based style, upon listening, the imprint of Los Lobos is still unmistakable -- the voices and guitars, and the lyrics that describe or allude to the Chicano experience in the U. S.

This album may be something of an excursion from Los Lobos' expected sound, but those who know the band's music also know that almost any sound they decide to try will be melded into what they already posess. Los Lobos stand as giants above the others, mostly midgets, of American popular music.


Wonderful. Entertaining. A favorite of my collection.
Great rhythms, message and production. This is such a great album. Buy it, you'll like it.


Perfume of the South-West
'Kiko' is to Los Lobos what the Brown album was for The Band. Here is the perfume and visuals of the South-west. And it has a generosity, a scale, a warmth of compable magnitude, doing for their region what the aforementioned Band disc did for the East coast. The music is at once old and progressive. It's the perfect soundtrack to Sayles,'Lone Star' film,'Three Burials'(though Doug Sham's there and no argument with that), or even,'Big Lebowski'. The side project, Latin Playboys, is for me their only other set of similar impact. But, to continue the Band affinities, it's like 'Stagefright' after those 60s works of genius.
