Los Tigres del Norte on Tour
With their piercing wails and songs that passionately tell of blue-collar hardships, love, loss, and the war on drugs, Los Tigres del Norte evoke plenty of gut-wrenching emotion in their repertoire. Boasting a career that spans more than five decades, these beloved norteños continue to inspire legions of fans from both sides of the border.
Armed with Jorgé's mad accordion riffs, Hernán's fuming electric bass lines, Eduardo's brilliant sax, Luis' snarling 12-string guitar fret-work, and Óscar Lara's powerful drumming, their live performances are known to be riveting. They keep their sets lively and evocative with meaningful messages that build solidarity with the Latin diaspora. Impressively, their in-demand showcases even broke Cardi B's attendance record at RodeoHouston in March 2019.
Los Tigres del Norte Background
No other norteño group tells the story of the immigrant experience in the U.S. quite the way Los Tigres del Norte do. Mexican immigrants themselves, they moved to San Jose, California, from Sinaloa, Mexico, in the late 1960s as teenagers. Led by vocalist and accordionist José Hernández, they started playing locally.
When the Hernández troupe of brothers and cousins caught the attention of aspiring music promoter Art Walker, he recorded their early material and made them the basis of his Fama Records.
In 1971, the frontman heard a live mariachi song about cross-border drug trafficking, a pivotal moment that would inspire Los Tigres' heartfelt and cinematic songwriting. Their wildly popular first corrido, the polka-driven "Contrabando y Traición" ("Smuggling and Betrayal") even inspired a movie of the same name in 1977.
Just about every year since their emergence, the prolific Northern Mexican cowboys have served as working-class heroes, narrating candidly the lives of the voiceless population in songs that transcend generations — hits like "La Jaula De Oro," "La Bala," "La Puerta Negra," and the recent "Un Consentido de Dios."
Los Tigres del Norte will always be a music band that will live down for generations to come. They are the real deal and 3 hours wasn't enough to cover every single hit they have had throughout their career. It was a true honor to see them in person. They are also genuine and care about their fans. They gave out hats and flags at the very end and even stayed on stage to autograph materials.
Los Tigres del Norte were great, 'but I would have liked them to play the songs from their repertoire and less from Vicente Fernández.
Best show I've been to in a long time will be going when they come back
Everything was great as far as the show! The Gas South ushers could use some training on how to speak to guests.
I got this as a gift for my dad who is a huge fan of the tigers of the north.
I enjoyed the beverage and food options available. Afean was clean and staff friendly.
It was fun and worth it my parents came along and said they enjoyed it
They did absolutely amazing. Long show and something I hope to see again.
It was a wonderful experience seeing them, grew up listening to them and now being able to watch them it was the best thing ever. Proud of them and proud of my culture 🇲🇽
