Los Tigres Del Norte

About

From humble beginnings crossing the Mexico-U.S. border to becoming cultural icons, Los Tigres del Norte have soundtracked the immigrant experience for generations. More than just a norteño band, they're storytellers in song, chronicling the hardships, dreams, and triumphs of those who seek a better life. Their music, rooted in the traditional sounds of accordion and bajo sexto, blends seamlessly with cumbia, rock, and even hints of polka, creating a distinctly modern norteño sound. Their breakthrough came in the 1970s with narcocorridos like "Contrabando y Traición," catapulting them to fame and controversy. But Los Tigres del Norte are more than just drug ballads; their repertoire is a tapestry of social commentary, love songs, and tributes to Mexican heritage. They've collaborated with artists from diverse genres, proving their enduring relevance. With multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy awards, millions of albums sold, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Los Tigres del Norte's influence extends far beyond the music world. They are cultural ambassadors, reminding us of the power of music to connect, inspire, and give voice to the voiceless. They continue to tour and record, their legacy cemented as one of the most important Latin music groups of all time.
