Los Lobos: Kiko

Original Release: 1992 Slash Records
Reissue: 2014 Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs

Los Lobos: Kiko

Kiko was Mexican-American rock band Los Lobos' 6th studio album. It was also their most commercially successful. Los Lobos had more commercially successful songs, most notably La Bamba. However, Kiko was their most complete effort, boasting one solid track after another.

Songs worth mentioning included “Dream In Blue”, “Kiko and the Lavendar Moon”, “That Train Don’t Stop Here”, and “Wicked Rain”. Kiko is a flawlessly executed musical performance that demonstrates the true artistic ability of the band and each member.

Critically acclaimed upon its initial release, Kiko is still held in high regard today as a great example of a tight Mexican-American band and well produced record.

Mobile Fidelity’s release of Kiko is a very nice pressing. The sound stage is solid. The bass is strong and the detail is not too far pushed out like some of their more recent releases.
