Los Super Seven

Formed as a Latin American supergroup, Los Super Seven brought together David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas from Los Lobos along with Freddy Fender, Flaco Jiminez, Joe Ely, Rick Trevino, Ruben Ramos, and Joel Jose Guzman. Their purpose was reinterpreting traditional Mexican folk songs, which led to a 1998 debut on RCA with a self-titled LP that won a Grammy. Canto arrived in 2001 as a twelve-track set of Latin American pop and folk, featuring the talented Caetano Veloso, Susana Baca and Raul Malo. Heard It on the X followed in 2005 as a tribute to border radio, bringing in Delbert McClinton, Rodney Crowell, John Hiatt, Lyle Lovett, Charlie Sexton, Joe Ely, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, and Freddy Fender.
