Los Lobos does…Disney?
LOS LOBOS GOES DISNEY FROM DISNEY SOUND PAIRS L.A.’S ICONIC MEXICAN-AMERICAN BAND WITH TIMELESS DISNEY SONGS
BURBANK, CA, October 13, 2009 – Los Lobos, the Grammy-winning East L.A. band famed for blending rock, blues and traditional Mexican music styles, is back with their first new album in three years. Los Lobos Goes Disney from Disney Sound features 13 all-time classics from Disney films and theme parks, each given the raw and raucous Los Lobos treatment. Produced by Los Lobos, the CD is set for release October 27.
Said Walt Disney Records President David Agnew, “Los Lobos’ unique style and musical vision make them one of the all-time great American bands. We are honored that Los Lobos have chosen to celebrate Disney’s musical legacy in such a joyous and beautiful way. Disney songs are classics precisely because they can be reinterpreted by iconic artists like this, generation after generation.”
With millions of records sold over the course of their 36-year career, Los Lobos is known for ignoring the conventions of popular music. Their family-friendly Disney Sound CD is no different. The band takes on timeless songs like “Heigh-Ho” (from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”), “I Wan’na Be Like You” and “Bare Necessities” (from “The Jungle Book”), “Not in Nottingham” and “Oo-De-Lally” (from “Robin Hood”) “Cruella De Vil” (from “101 Dalmatians”), “Bella Notte” (from “Lady and the Tramp”) and “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” (from “Song of the South”). </em>
