	Los Lobos is a truly good group of musicians, and definitely
worth listening to. The song they won the Grammy for from their first
album was "Anselma". Their music sounds alot like well, er, Mexican
polka. It comes from a long tradition of Tex-Mex music that had part of
its evolution from Hispanic roots and part from the German farmers who
settled large sections of Texas. I had the opportunity to talk with 
members of the band last year when they appeared at the 930 Club in DC.,
and was really impressed by them. In addition to the usual guitar, bass,
acoustic guitar and drums, they play accordian and another instrument
which looks something like a 12-string guitar called a bajo sexto. They
are well worth checking out.
