Los Tigres del Norte emerged in the 1960s with a new take on Mexican storytelling. Their tales of migration and hardship have become increasingly relevant with every passing year.

Los Tigres del Norte is a Mexican group that emerged in the 1960s with a unique approach to storytelling through corridos, or narrative ballads. Their songs often explore themes of death, betrayal, migration, and hardship, resonating with audiences both in Mexico and abroad. The group gained popularity in the United States before finding success in Mexico, which is unusual for Mexican artists. Los Tigres del Norte's songs, such as "Contrabando y Traición" (also known as "Camelia"), continue to address social issues faced by migrants, highlighting the treatment they receive when crossing the US border. The group's members have personal experiences with migration, and their songs reflect the stories and struggles of people seeking the American Dream. Despite being formed over 50 years ago, Los Tigres del Norte's music remains relevant and continues to resonate with audiences. [Extracted from the article]
