Music to stir a Mexican soul- Famed band strikes a chord with fans on a magical night in Asbury Park, New Jersey - Los Tigres Del Norte

The siblings from Lakewood were at the boardwalk Saturday to see Los Tigres Del Norte, or the Tigers of the North, a legendary Mexican-American band whose accordion-laced music and lyrics of love, loss and immigrant soul-searching have drawn devoted fans for nearly four decades.

“The old songs are the best,” said 18-year-old Sandra as she waited for the concert to start. “They are true-life songs.”

The sisters remember hearing Los Tigres songs as little girls while their mother cleaned the house in Mexico. Before long their parents moved to Boston, where they worked 16-hour days making tortillas to pay their children’s way to the United States.”*
