About Los Tigres del Norte
The New York Times hails Los Tigres del Norte as “[Regional Mexican] music’s greatest statesmen… Los Tigres sell millions of records, regularly top Billboard's Latin charts and draw tens of thousands of fans to stadiums… In short, they are among the most popular acts in Latin music today”. In fact, with more than 500 recorded songs to their credit, Los Tigres del Norte have sold over 35 Million albums worldwide - while notching 21 #1 albums and more than 50 #1 singles. Originally hailing from Sinaloa, Mexico and comprised of brothers Jorge, Hernán, Edurado, and Luis Hernandez, plus cousin Oscar Lara, the band has continually chronicled the real-life stories of love and hardship experienced by the immigrant community – with many of the tales passed on directly by their fans. Their gritty realism and plain-spokenness led Billboard magazine to call Los Tigres the world’s “most influential Regional Mexican band - widely viewed as the voice of the people.” Los Tigres del Norte has received multiple GRAMMY and LATIN GRAMMY awards, and was awarded the Latin Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. Demonstrating their continued standing at the forefront of the genre, Los Tigres has actually won the last four consecutive GRAMMY Awards for Best Norteno Album, while both their most recent album “La Granja” and its title track/first single again topped the charts at #1.
