Los Tigres Del Norte: Jorge Hernandez, Oscar Lara, Hernan Hernandez, Luis Hernandez.
With 2008's RAICES, Mexican legends Los Tigres Del Norte unveil another assured set of accordion-driven songs in the time-honored Norteno style. As always, the group's plaintive vocals work as perfect counterpoints to the lively and percussive arrangements, as evinced on "Rumbo Al Sur" and "No Volvere." For those interested in regional Mexican music, Los Tigres offer a fine introduction on this typically excellent outing.
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.
