East L.A. rock stalwarts Los Lobos have announced a benefit concert to help rebuild the historic auditorium at their alma mater.

Earlier this year an arson fire gutted the Garfield High School auditorium and charred almost all of the famed portraits that hung on the wall of fame. All, that is, except for a picture of Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos.

Rosas says it was "a calling" that he should help out the school.

All four original members of Los Lobos are all Garfield graduates from the early 1970s. They will headline a bill with other Chicano artists including Tierra, Little Willie G of Thee Midniters and El Chicano. The Oct. 14 event at Gibson Amphitheatre will also feature the Tex-Mex band Little Joe y La Familia and Upground.

This month police arrested an arson suspect, a 16-year-old Garfield freshman who lived within walking distance of the school. The student was reportedly angry at a teacher.
