Review Of Los Tigres del Nortek’s Last New York Appearance Two Years Ago

“Singing Stories From Lives Lived Far Away From Home… Los Tigres del Norte have perfected a ground-level symbiosis with their fans….Their show on Saturday night at the Armory in Brooklyn, was mega-size: music all night and far into the morning hours… Los Tigres playing 42 songs over two 90-minute segments that finally ended at 3 am… each time Los Tigres, in white spangled suits with tiger-striped instruments, bit into the groove of a two-beat ranchero, sustenance was served in jolts…. the meat of the show was the up-tempo corridos, story-songs that became impossibly sad or righteously angry and above all, sympathetic: about scattered families, a son murdered for a car, an immigrant fed up with being condescended to…  But sustenance also came through the crush of bodies and couples dancing in a clinch, through the marketplace atmosphere of taco stands and circulating flower vendors, through the ritual of the fans throwing messages to the band — read back in rapid-fire by the band’s singer and accordionist Jorge Hernández… Mr. Hernández is charismatic.  Singing with a headset microphone and adding stabs of accordion chords, he kept working through his battery of gestures of respect or supplication or triumph: doffing his cowboy hat and holding it out with arm fully extended, then putting it back in place, raising his fingers to his lips or his heart, putting forth a fist and shaking it once to signify firmness. He moved entirely in slow motion as the beat pumped behind him, and he was mesmerizing.”
