Tigres burning bright – Los Tigres del Norte and norteno go back a long way, and the band shows Portland why

“Yes, Grammy-winning norteno pioneers Los Tigres del Norte showed polished musicianship at their show at the Expo Center on Friday night. And yes, they also bonded deeply with their audience, both musically and even on a personal level. And yes, they are a bunch of sharp, well-dressed men.

But first, lets talk about their stamina: Over about 21/2 hours, the men played dozens of songs amazingly, only a small sliver of the music on their dozens of albums. That doesnt even count an intermission of about an hour during which the quintet posed for photos with fans — the line reached Harry Potter-mania proportions. In short, Los Tigres dazzled fans from about 10:40 p.m. to 2 a.m., keeping their sparkly white suits crisp and pristine from start to finish. And nary a Red Bull in sight, either.”
