For all you Los Lobos fans, David Hidalgo is the main guest on the latest episode of WTF with Marc Maron. They pretty much cover the entire history of the band and discuss the new album as well. Great interview!

David Hidalgo is the best musician few people know about. I've seem him play guitar, drums, violin and accordion. Great voice too.

Hidalgo frequently plays musical instruments such as accordion, violin, 6-string banjo, cello, requinto jarocho, percussion, drums and guitar as a session musician on other artists' releases.
