Los Tigres del Norte to Bring High Energy Performance to NJPAC

New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) presents one of the most influential Latin music groups of all time, Los Tigres del Norte are undisputed legends of Mexico's lively norteño music genre, a high-energy ensemble of 21st-century troubadours recently classified by The New York Times as "Latin music's greatest statesmen."

During their four-decade career, Los Tigres del Norte has recorded over 500 songs and sold over 37 million albums worldwide, notching 22 No. 1 albums and more than 50 No. 1 singles along the way. The group has won six GRAMMY Awards and six Latin GRAMMY Awards, as well as the Latin Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2011, Los Tigres became the first norteño group to star in the popular MTV Unplugged series of performances. As Orlando Weekly recently declared: "Los Tigres del Norte are to norteño music what Elvis is to rock-and-roll."

"Try to imagine something between Bruce Springsteen and The Rolling Stones and you get an idea as to the kind of crowds Los Tigres can draw - they make the people they sing about feel powerful," says The New Yorker. "Los Tigres has reinvented Mexican popular music," says The Los Angeles Times. "They are the most perceptive chroniclers of the Mexican-American experience (and) one of the clearest windows into the immigrant soul."
