One of the most popular and respected acts of the thriving Norteno scene in the Mexico/Texas border region, Los Tigres del Norte reinforce their reputation with 2006's LA MUERTE DEL SOPLON. While many of these songs relate tales of a morbid nature, the music itself is quite lively and energetic, as revealed on the upbeat, accordion-laden title track (which translates as "The Informer's Death") and the jaunty, beat-driven "El Espinazo del Diablo" ("The Devil's Spine"). The juxtaposition is quite effective, and gets to the heart of the band's power.

Tracklist
Los Tigres Del Norte
One of the most popular norteno acts of all time, Los Tigres Del Norte formed in the late 1960s and brought a grittier sense of subject matter to the popular genre of border music. While life's hardships were always lyrical fodder for norteno artists, Los Tigres took things a step farther and introduced vivid tales of crime, drug running, and violent betrayals along the border. Musically, the band plays a polished, highly modernized version of a very traditional style of accordion-driven norteno, helping them maintain their appeal through the decades and across generations.
