Los Tigres del Norte are ready to greet their loyal Bay Area fans.
The famed Mexican norteño act — which kickstarted its career in San Jose way back in the mid-1960s — brings its La Lotería Tour to Chase Center in San Francisco on Feb. 20.
Showtime is 8 p.m. and tickets start at $85; ticketmaster.com.
It’s your chance to see one of the most important Bay Area bands of all time, one that has attracted fans around the globe with its brand of thoughtful corridos that speak to the Latinx and immigrant experience.
Los Tigres del Norte — which still features Jorge Hernández on lead vocals — has amassed some truly incredible stats over the decades. Notably, the band has sold more than 30 million albums during its nearly 60-year recording career. It has also won seven Grammys and a dozen Latin Grammys.
The group’s best-known songs include “La Jaula de Oro,” “La Puerta Negra,” “La Reina del Sur” and — the number that launched Los Tigres del Norte to superstardom — “Contrabando y Traición.”
After all these years, Los Tigres del Norte continues to live up to its nickname as “Jefe de Jefes” (“Boss of Bosses”).
