Los Tigres Del Norte

Los Tigres del Norte are a Mexican norteño band based in San Jose, California. Originally founded in the small town Rosa Morada in the municipality of Mocorito, Sinaloa, and with sales of 32 million albums, the band is one of the most recognized and prominent acts of regional Mexican music, due to their long history and successes. The band is known for their political and romantic corridos, some of which have faced censorship. The band is the only Mexican group to win 7 Grammy Awards and 13 Latin Grammys. In addition, the band has made 40 films alongside the Almada brothers among other well-known Mexican actors. The band's style is based on regional music of Mexico, using mainly instruments such as the electric bass, accordion, bass, drums and sometimes other percussion instruments. The lyrics in their songs fluctuate between romantic and political, including narcocorridos, in which they narrate the experience of members of drug gangs operating in Mexico. The narcocorrido song "Muerte Anunciada", for example, stands out, as it is dedicated to the legendary Mexican drug trafficker Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, "El Jefe de Jefes."
