Since their worldwide breakout three years ago, Texican trio Los Lonely Boys - brothers Henry, JoJo and Ringo Garza - have achieved multi-platinum album sales, a Grammy Award (their monster hit 'Heaven' won Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group in 2005), and widespread acclaim from critics, fans and other musicians. All those experiences and more have inspired their commanding album, 'Sacred,' which has garnered rave reviews. Los Lonely Boys were recently selected to be part of Amnesty International's Instant Karma karma or karman (kär`mə, kär`mən), [Skt.,=action, work, or ritual], basic concept common to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. : The Campaign to Save Darfur music campaign. Los Lonely Boys along with 50 other artists recorded John Lennon songs for a compilation CD that will raise funds for this campaign headed by Yoko Ono who donated John's entire songbook. Their song "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night," released in April on iTunes was selected as the 2nd single.
