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.
