Tell me please Dear Malaque
Why have our loved ones gone away
Left with nothing much to say
Only the warm place where they lay
On the way to the ruby king
Malaque what do we do
Now there's only me and you
Can we begin our lives anew
After all that we've been through
On this day of the ruby king
We have worked so hard to find
What is yours and what is mine
How does one become so blind
And forget what is divine
In the world of the ruby king
Malaque oh Malaque
Where have our friends all gone today
Gone without a word to say
Only the beds where they once laid
Left to rest with the ruby king
Gone away to the ruby king
Why have our loved ones gone away
Left with nothing much to say
Only the warm place where they lay
On the way to the ruby king
Malaque what do we do
Now there's only me and you
Can we begin our lives anew
After all that we've been through
On this day of the ruby king
We have worked so hard to find
What is yours and what is mine
How does one become so blind
And forget what is divine
In the world of the ruby king
Malaque oh Malaque
Where have our friends all gone today
Gone without a word to say
Only the beds where they once laid
Left to rest with the ruby king
Gone away to the ruby king

Real American music from genuine Americans. This may sound like some Latin offerings but it is strictly a product of diverse American culture,
I remember when these guys hit the airwaves. Knew they had something special then.
The more I hear this tune, the more I Like it!! Thanx RP!
Gotta admit, I'm not a great appeciator of latin music. But I make an exception for these guys.
Excellent!! It is different from most of their tunes This was the first time I heard this.. Thanx RP!
Los Lobos did this at the Sellersville in PA, near where Steve Berlin grew up, right after it came out, I had not heard the song. Hidalgo was absolutely in another place for his solo coming into the last verse, we were all there watching him. One of the great musical experiences of my life.
Absolutely love this band, see them every time they come to Australia.In my top 3 for sure.
a little close to home right now..
I get so frustrated defending this band to so many who do not understand their artistic creativity and sheer greatness. Nice to read so many below who get it. Have seen them so many times and never disappointed, but that show with the Hildago family would have been awesome.

Lived in Mill Valley for a stint- Great room the Sweetwater.
Traveling through Germany in the mid 90's some drunken travelers learned I was from the Bay Area and mentioned a "small club near some mountain" where they had seen John Lee Hooker- "Sweetwater?" I asked. "YES!" they replied. That made for a long train trip much shorter...
Small world out there all orbiting around music.
I saw David Hidalgo backed up by his kids at Sweetwater in Mill Valley, CA a few months ago. Sweetwater is a wonderfully intimate room and there's not a bad seat in the house and all those Hidalgos were just terrific - whatta blast. Thanks David!

Some days I'm really not in the mood for this song. This ain't one of those days! Sounds great!
These guys have created a lot of terrific music.

We just saw LL at a concert last Saturday and they sound just as good as 25 years ago! Percussionist Enrique Gonzalez is absolutely insane! Louie Pérez is up front with guitar, jarana, mandolin, etc., but took a turn at the drums for old times sake. This a great band that doesn't get the attention it deserves, IMHO, probably because they're clean and solid—and are celebrating their 40th year together because of it! I requested Malaque but they encored with La Bamba. Go figure. (They did do Kiko, though, which was a big crowd pleaser.)
Meh.

Cool segue from QOTSA.
Los Lobos always got it dialed in!

University of Virginia, probably 1985 or so. An unknown band that at the moment had a relatively minor hit 'How Will the Wolf Survive' played in a sunken field on campus, free beer (not from the band), and very little notice. I was hooked. Since then I've seen Los Lobos several times and highly recommend them. Yes, they have lots of original and interesting material, play rockabilly, country, Mexican, Tex-Mex, straight ahead rock, and who know what else. Out of East LA. They are continuing the tradition of the Dead, without really being like the Dead.
Amazing! I saw these guys back in the 80's and they did a wonderful concert. I gained a lot of respect for them after that show because that was when their remake of "La Bamba" was a big hit on the radio but they did NOT play it! Their concert was good because of their own original material and they got the praise of the crowd on their own merit. Still sound good...if not better!

When you see Los Lobos live, you get a big serving of BAD A$$!!!!
Just saw these guys Friday night. They put on a great show and David Hidalgo's voice is still incredible!

a swinging summer tune
Saw these guys a few months ago at the brand-new Bing Concert Hall at Stanford.edu
Amazing venue and a great show by Los Lobos as always. This song was probably the highlight of the night!

Just saw them last Saturday night, for maybe the 15th or 16th time. One of my all time favorite American bands. A few years ago I saw them in September, October, and November, a different city for each show and each show was different from the one before. Amazing.

i am amazed that they recorded such strong material for so many years. 1984: How Will the Wolf Survive; 1987: By the Light of the Moon; 1990: the Neighborhood; 1992: Kiko; 2002: Good Morning, Aztlan; 2006: The Town and the City. any one of those recordings could be a career for many artists. Most of the best artists eventually lose their ability to innovate and start repeating themselves. Not the Wolves. their other albums are great. but these albums are all fantastic. Kiko should be on everyone's Desert Island Disk list. oh, and did i mention that I like Los Lobos a lot?

I got to see them live at the Mondavi Center at UC Davis. It was awesome to see their low-rider parked out front of the fancy, elegent venue. Too Cool.

Don't forget The Ride!! I've seen these guys a dozen or so times. Just tremendous musicians. Sadly, they haven't played in Detroit since our once incredible public radio station switched to nearly all news about 3-4 years ago. I almost bought tickets to see Los Lonely Boys cause Los Lobos is opening, but Los Lobos is not an opening act.

I feel compelled to comment on the strangely dismissive approach taken by so many listeners (maybe not a good word choice in this case?) to Los Lobos. It has taken some time to appreciate what they do and what they are, but this is as American a band as one can find. They cover the range of American music really well. Their original work is quite good and deeply in the American tradition. In some ways, the Grateful Dead seem similar to me, in that both groups work from within a folk/country tradition, influenced by southern and urban blues, jazz, and anything else they encounter that makes sense. then they make it something new. And, they are exceptional live.
Pretty!

Los Lobos - one of the best live shows you could possibly see. There is a certain magic in hearing a band that has happily and steadily played together for over 25 years. It's magic.
Los Lobos in Telluride in a little more that 2 weeks!
I'll listen to the boys, morning noon or night.

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. A large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Too bad the book is full of incorrect punctuation!
