Biography by Sandra Brennan (AMG)

Since the late '60s, San Jose, California's Los Tigres del Norte have been bringing their distinctive norteña music to audiences since 1972, and continue to set the standard to which other norteña bands aspire. Founding members included three Hernández brothers, Jorge, Raúl, and Hernán, and Oscar Lara, their cousin. Many of their songs were tinged with wry humor, or the dark side of drug and crime tales from the streets. Essentially, it was the stories Mexicans struggling to make it in America encountered every day. Among the Los Tigres' many releases were 1994's Dos Plebes, 1996's Unidos Para Siempre, 1997's Asi Como Tu, and 1999's Herencia de Familia. The following year, the band won a Grammy for Best Norteño Performance for Herencia de Familia at the first annual Latin Grammy Awards. Lost Tigres del Norte releases over the next few years included Corridos (2000), Reina del Sur (2002), and Pacto de Sangre (2004). In 2005 they issued Directo al Corazon; by that point the group's lineup included Jorge and Hernán Hernández, Lara, Luis Hernández, and Eduardo Hernández. Mention los Tigres' name to a longtime fan, and the first thing that comes to mind are biting, gritty, hard-hitting accounts of the struggles and challenges that the Mexican working class has faced in both Mexico and the southwestern United States. If you're seeking regional Mexican music that is romantically comforting, you turn to Marco Antonio Solis, Intocable, or Conjunto Primavera; if you're in the mood for a norteño equivalent of the Clash, Rubén Blades, KRS-One, Bob Marley, or Neil Young, you turn to los Tigres -- whose reputation for gutsy, meaningful lyrics certainly isn't going to be damaged by Pacto de Sangre.

Pacto De Sangre (2004)

With this 2004 release, the norteño rebels continue to offer compelling accounts of Mexican struggles north and south of the border. The best sociopolitical songs -- the Clash's "Career Opportunities," Gil Scott-Heron's "The Bottle," Grandmaster Flash's "The Message," or Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues," for example -- have a way of making the political personal, and that is certainly true of this CD. Not that the listener has to relate to los Tigres' subject matter in order to appreciate Pacto de Sangre on a musical level; the polka-influenced grooves are infectious even if one doesn't speak any Spanish. And not everyone who speaks Spanish will have firsthand knowledge of everything los Tigres write about; someone who has spent his/her entire life in Barcelona or Buenos Aires won't be writing songs about their experiences growing up in Mexican neighborhoods. But then, Bob Marley's and Peter Tosh's accounts of black life in Jamaica touched millions of nonblack, non-Jamaican listeners -- and similarly, many of the issues that los Tigres tackle on Pacto de Sangre (crime, poverty, economic deprivation) have international implications. Both musically and lyrically, Pacto de Sangre is an exciting addition to los Tigres' sizable catalog. (AMG)

Los Tigres Del Norte - Pacto De Sangre (2004)

One of, if not the oldest, norteño bands of California and the whole USA. This Mexican-American music, with a Texan brother, later became more known as Tex-Mex or conjunto music. If you like Los Lobos, Los Lonely Boys, Los Pinkies or Doug Sahm then make sure you get to know these guys too. Mention los Tigres' name to a longtime fan, and the first thing that comes to mind are biting, gritty, hard-hitting accounts of the struggles and challenges that the Mexican working class has faced in both Mexico and the southwestern United States.
