From Kiko (1992). Kiko is the sixth album by the Mexican American rock group Los Lobos. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Standard Stratocaster through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, the nearest rig we use for Los Lobos' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
