The Los Angeles roots rock and roll band Los Lobos announced today that it is canceling a June 10 appearance the Talking Stick Resort in Arizona to honor a boycott against the state of Arizona in protest of SB 1070.
The five members of the band said in a formal statement: "We support the boycott of Arizona. The new law will inevitably lead to unfair racial profiling and possible abuse of people who just happen to look Latino. As a result, in good conscience, we could not see ourselves performing in Arizona. We regret the inconvenience this may have caused the Salt River Pima Maricopa Community, Casino Arizona, Talking Stick Arizona and our fans but we feel strongly it is the right thing to do."
