David Bianculli

The world-famous architect died last week.

He was 96 years old.

After a break, we remember Raul Malo, lead singer of the Mavericks, who died this week at age 60.

Last weekend, Raul Malo and his veteran roots music group, The Mavericks, were scheduled to play at a tribute concert in their honor at the famed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

The concert was held as planned and among the other genre artists taking part were Steve Earle, Patty Griffin, and Jim Lauderdale.

But Raul Malo himself wasn't there.

Fighting cancer for the last few years, he watched from his hospital room last weekend as a special feed of the concert was streamed to his bedside.

Raul Malo died Monday at age 60.

Raul Malo was born in 1965, the son of Cuban immigrants in Miami.

In his early 20s, he became the guitarist and lead singer for the Mavericks, a genre-bending band that lived up to its rebellious name.

They played punk clubs in Miami Beach, but with a mixture of music that embraced not only Latin rhythms, but roots music, rock and roll, and country.

The Mavericks recorded such popular hits as Here Comes the Rain and All You Ever Do is Bring Me Down.

Their most recent studio album was last year's Moon and Stars, and their eclectic LPs over their four-decade career included an all-Spanish album and a tribute to Motley Crue.

In 1995, the Mavericks released Music for All Occasions, which included the hits All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down and Here Comes the Rain, and the opening track Foolish Heart.

Terry Gross spoke with Raul Malo when that album was released.

She began by playing the opening song, Foolish Heart.

That's Raul Malo and Trisha Yearwood from the Maverick CD, Music for All Occasions.
