1996 Colossal Head album.
This one was "different" and raw compared to all the other albums !
A killer album, daring and very powerful.
Indeed, AMG mentiones this about it:
"it certainly shows signs of David Hidalgo's lo-fi,
experimental Latin Playboys project."
And that takes us to where we wanna be today,
the 2 albums from the Latin Playboys!
As I played them and tried to make a 10 song selection for this post, I (once again)
couldn't really pick the 10 stand out songs.
(what does indicate something bout me OR the music:-)
So here it is, or better, here they are, all songs alphabethically mixed into one trip!
Out of stock for many years, but today you can get them for a nice price (secondhand).
Enjoy!
Oh, and if you really like this stuff, don't miss out on another

Hey E-Mile! I didn't know you had posted these (didn't come up on Captain Crawl). Hope you don't mind my posts. Love these albums and Houndog, too. I have a few more posts related to these already saved that'll be popping up over the next few days...
Kiko and Colossal Head are amazing albums; so different from each other and both far superior to 99% of mainstream music. Los Lobos has become one of my all time favorite bands over the last 10 years! I know they did a short tour a couple of years ago where they played the entire Kiko album live. Wish I could have caught one of those shows.
Thanks for leaving a comment over at Pathway!
Thanks for posting these, they are really impossible to find anywhere! Very excited to check out the rest of your blog... and for anyone paying attention, I found Latin Playboys music through Pandora while creating a station for Lana Del Rey, who I highly recommend for the wow factor. Viva!
Thanks for posting this, this stuff is impossible to find! I love Lobos but had never heard the Playboys until I created a station on Pandora for Lana Del Rey, who I recommend for the Mazzy/What The? factor. Cant wait to check out the rest of your blog! Viva!
