Los Caballeros (Practice Track)

Here’s one last track from our practice sessions: Los Caballeros. It’s a song about the horsemen who run their horses down in the dry bed of the San Gabriel River, east of Los Angeles. It’s also about a changing Los Angeles that often has little connection to its past. Continue reading
