Friday, April 28th!

You will be assigned to a group.

Compete in an Olympic event. Sign up with your English teacher, and remember space is limited for each event, so don't delay. See the list under \

To Their Own Beat

When Los Lobos perform in concert today, audiences in the thousands cheer them on. It's hard to believe that the group started out as just another garage band playing popular rock-and-roll tunes from

the radio. In 1974 four high school friends from East Los Angeles formed Los Lobos (Spanish for \

Like many garage bands, these friends might have simply gone their separate ways after high school. But the members of Los Lobos wanted to keep making music together. They decided to change their musical style and began focusing on traditional Mexican music that showed their tradition.

\found an incredible wealth of music,\things with their instruments, and we started trying to pick up on it.\

The group put aside its electric guitars for the acoustic ones used in traditional Mexican music. For several years Los Lobos played at weddings or parties—any event that needed live music. They also landed a regular engagement(合同) at a Mexican restaurant.

By 1978 Los Lobos had made enough money to record their first album(唱片), and they sold copies of it wherever they performed. They also returned to their electric guitars to get closer to a Tex-Mex sound, which is a mixture of traditional Mexican music, rock and roll, country music and the blues. This new, louder sound produced one unexpected result: The group was fired from the restaurant.

But it didn't matter that Los Lobos had lost their one steady job, because they had found a position that no other group took up. They had combined electric and acoustic instruments and blended(混合) musical styles in their own way. Steve Berlin joined the band in 1983 as the saxophone and keyboard player, adding to the band's unusual sound.

\links between it and all the other styles and sounds that were all around us,\Perez explains, \became a mission... bringing music together to bring people together.\

In the 1980s Los Lobos gained the attention of several record companies. They were hired to perform on the soundtrack to the film La Bamba, which earned them a Golden Eagle Award. They have since earned many awards, including two Grammys and an MTV Video Music Award. Their many records have been very successful, and they have toured the world.

Even after 30 years of making music together, Los Lobos continues to experiment with their sound. They never moved far away from their Mexican roots, however. They still include traditional music in their live performances, sharing their history—and their culture—with their fans. 29. Los Lobos recorded their first album after they . A. lost their job at a restaurant

B. began playing acoustic guitars C. won an award for a film soundtrack
