Très belle mélodie aux sonorités espagnols, où la guitare et le violon s'accordent à merveille ! Merci Radio Paradise pour cette belle découverte 



Couldn't agree more. Willie & Lobo were a wonderful discovery for me too!

My wife (then girlfriend) and i stumbled across these guys at The River Cafe in Puerto Vallerta in 2000 or so. Had never heard of them but fell in love with their music (and each other) that night. We've seen them about 6 times since and, although they've technically retired, we still expect to see them perform a few more times in years to come. All their albums are well worth owning.



@Scrubbrush : 10 years out -- Are you still in love -- with each other and this music? 
GREAT TUNE!!  RP introduced me to them, now I like a LOT of their music! That is why we come here.   Thanx RP!

I Agree!!   Thanx RP!   
So nice
wish i could find it on spotify....so limited their selections...love this track...Im with Piranga, pass the Herradurra (which is about as good as we can get down under) :(
And this is how it all started! first song I ever heard on radio paradise, don't even know how many years ago! ❤
This is just feeling awesome right now
So gentle and full of grace and romantic <3.
I just Googled these guys in the hopes that i might catch them on tour...

I'm sad to report that Willie Royal, violinist extraordinaire, died on Christmas morning 2017. He was 62 and had Alzheimer's. Tragic.

These guys were responsible for the single most romantic evening of my life. See story below from 5 years ago. 

I will say it again; it's worth owning all these guys albums. Their music is beautiful and timeless. 
Liking the subtle bass line.
Amazing this Salome

Awesome musicians!  Over the years, they've played quite a lot in San Miguel, and Lobo often sits in with other groups here in town.  Never get tired of listening to them.

There's a Belgian popgroup who made a great cover:
It's called K3:

Have you heard The Gipsy Kings' version in Spanish? It's really great. Briefly used in "The Big Lebowski." When I first heard it, I couldn't associate it with the Eagles until the singer said "Hotel California" in English. Wow, can he yell

Not even close... sorry but this has nothing to do with Paco de Lucía. I would define this as chill out soft music with gypsy influences and maybe influences from middle-east traditional music, but is definitely not flamenco.

Heard these guys perform this on their penultimate farewell tour.

Just needs a little patience which is soon rewarded.
¿Between the waters: entre dos aguas?
Had the same reaction- brought back memories of "Cat Steven's" Lady D'Arbanville from (1970?). Enjoyed this song, but always wonder if its that positive melody reference in the back of the mind that adds to the value...

A "being in love" song. Thank you Bill, first time for me to hear Willie and Lobo. Great

what he said then!
Is this the Lobo who used to be around in the 70's?   Unfortunately can't remember much abouty him except he had some mellow guitar sounds goin on as well.   Either way, this is a great track.

Absolutely and clearly Godlike!
Great to see awareness of the great flamenco guitarist Manitas de Plata. Try and have a listen to his work if you get a chance, truly a genius.

Just caught them live a month ago on what was apparently their farewell tour.
This has to be their sense of humor, given the precedent set by Cher, Doobies, and now the Police. According to their website, they have many gigs scheduled between now and the end of the year.
My buddies! First saw them at the Palms Playhouse in Winters, CA, then took the family down to Puerto Vallarta to catch them perform al fresco at a New Years Eve dinner/concert/fireworks celebration (tip: they do this most every year). Great shows! Guitarist Lobo inspired by Manitas de Plata (click here). Check out their website (click here) for bios and tour dates.
I was originally introduced to Willie and Lobo by my parents, a retired couple that likes to eat early and complain about the weather. Apparently, age doesn't affect musical taste. I love these guys.
Huh, I always wondered what Willie Nelson and Los Lobos would sound like...
I like the tinkling of the coin belt in the background, but it doesn't make me want to get mine on!
My Lady d'Arbanville ...
This is lovely.
You have to see them live to really get a feel of what their music is really about! They have so much passion and joy in what they are doing! Wow!
All I need is a Tequila Sunrise...
yay! request granted!
I was really hoping for a segue into Tijuana by David Lindley & Hani Naser, but DMB is OK too.
the beginning to this really hit the spot for me .. maybe I am just feeling a bit down.

Yes, it certainly was. Going to have to rewind that for another listen!

This... is... perfect.
Where have Willie and Lobo been all my life!!?? Great music!
Mebbe I'm just tired today but...

Great! Except that it's inducing a need for a post-lunch siesta, and I have so much work to do.
These guys were fantastic at Lake Tahoe several years ago. Tunes in the dunes. They were followed by Michael Hedges, who was equally stupendous. A very magical night under the stars.
Never heard this, but it's very beautiful. Thanks for playing!

PV is where Willie & Lobo first hooked up, they being quntessential surfer bums who also happen to be top-notch musicians. Took the family down there after Christmas to catch their annual New Year's Eve show at the River Cafe... quite the treat!
Rich; elegant;

I don't get it. Have you ever been to PV? I've been there over 15 times and I always find something new and rediscover things I had forgotten. Puerto Vallarta's Sister City is Santa Barbara - I see many similarities. It has many problems but the people are some of the friendliest I've ever met.

Funny.. I kept expecting David Lindley & Hani Naser - Tijuana... which DID come on right after this one this time! LOL !!! :D

Great Song play it often
WOW! Where\'d this come from? It is _so_ Salome. This is just superb. I\'d love to hear more of these guys.
What a beautiful song!
