Los Lobos del Este de Los Angeles (Just another band from East L.A.) is the debut album by the American band Los Lobos, at the time known as Los Lobos del Este de Los Angeles. It was self-released by the band in early 1978 and features mostly traditional Mexican folk music. The album was recorded live to 16-track and represented the band's live repertoire at the time, which included their original song, "Flor de Huevo", an instrumental written by guitarist David Hidalgo.[4] It was reissued on CD in 2000 by Hollywood Records with one bonus track.
