The declaration came as the legendary band announced a 2022 U.S. tour, including a concert scheduled for Aug. 18 at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.
City Councilman Curren Price, whose district includes the Coliseum, said 2,000 commemorative Los Bukis T-shirts would be distributed at his district office at 4301 South Central Avenue from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday.
The band reunited in 2021 for the first time in more than two decades, then kicked off a tour in August with sold-out show at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium.
When the band announced the historic reunion, it brought deep and sweet nostalgia for generations of many Latino families, and a flood of videos on social media of children surprising their parents and grandparents with tickets to the show.
Los Bukis became a massive hit in Mexico and across much of Latin America beginning in the 1970s. Their love songs still play on Spanish-language radio, and the band — which formed in Michoacan, Mexico — remains a household name for generations of many immigrant families in the US.
