Los Fabulocos is accordionist/vocalist Jesus Cuevas, bassist/vocalist James Barrios, drummer Mike Molina, and guitarist/vocalist Kid Ramos - four working-class musicians who write and play music for a wide array of working class fans.  Upon the release of their self-titled debut album which was later acknowledged as the "quintessential roots record of 2008," Los Fabulocos' unique brand of Cali-Mex was immediately embraced and praised by critics in newspapers and publications such as the Music Connection, La Opinion, OC Register, Houston Press and El Paso Times.  The band performs for crowds that range from a backyard party of 30 people to European festivals of 30,000 fans.  Their Southwestern blend of blues, zydeco, '50s rock 'n' roll, rhythm & blues, and traditional Mexican music has attracted a dedicated fan base whose broad appeal stems from honest musicianship, lyrics that touch the soul and good old fashioned hard work.

When commenting on what comprises a typical Los Fabulocos performance guitarist Kid Ramos explains, "We mix it up... We play songs in Spanish, then we'll do a Fats Domino song, then we'll play a blues, and then we'll do a Buck Owens or Johnny Cash song. People look and go, 'What?' Then, all of the sudden, they just start dancing and having smiles on their faces."   Whether you're listening to one of their CDs in your car, or have the good fortunes to hear them play live, Los Fabulocos will expand your comfort zone, speak to your heart, and defy you to sit still!

"When critics talk about American roots music, this is what they mean. Los Fabulocos is a prime example of the magnificent working class art this immigrant nation can produce."  - Retro Music Review

"If rockin' roots music from the likes of Los Lobos, Doug Sahm's Texas Tornados, Freddy Fender, Flaco Jimenez and The Hacienda Brothers appear on your radar screen, roll back the carpet, crack open a six pack of Mexican beer, put your dancing shoes on and play loud!" - Maverick Magazine

"As each tune begins you may ask yourself as I did "Is this blues? Traditional rancheras? Maybe it's swamp rock or that Tex-Mex sound?" In the end you'll realize that it's music for the soul-good ole' rock 'n roll."
- Chicano Soul Network
