In the field of Mexican norteño music, San Jose’s Los Tigres Del Norte bestride the world like giants. More than 50 years ago, Jorge Hernandez and his brothers, while still only teens, left Mexico to settle in the South Bay, and in that time, they’ve sold well north of 35 million recordings. With their often politically charged music, Los Tigres have brought the concerns of contemporary Mexicans to a global audience, and have made norteño and other forms such as conjunto and corrido musical touchstones worldwide. With immigration and Mexican-US relations at the top of the national dialogue, Los Tigres have never been more relevant.
