Los Lobos will release a new album, "Native Sons", on July 30th, 2021, via New West Records. The band describe it as a 'love letter to Los Angeles' and it features covers of Los Angeles artists, including Beach Boys, Jackson Browne, Buffalo Springfield, Midnighters, Little Feat, Blasters, War, and more.

“I played it for a friend and his 1st response was that it’s a party record, which sounds right to me”, says frontman David Hidalgo. Adds Steve Berlin, “I couldn’t say there’s a common thread for all these artists, but in a way that’s exactly what makes LA great. You’ve got r'n'b and punk rock and rock'n'roll and folk, and somehow it exists together in this one weird city that we all call home”.

You can listen to 2 tracks off the album now, covers of Beach Boys' "Sail On, Sailor", and The Midnighters' "Love Special Delivery". Los Lobos have also announced a massive 2021 and 2022 North American tour.
