Los Tigres del Norte sat down with Billboard News backstage at their record-breaking show at The Houston Rodeo. They opened for their Rodeo shows, choosing their outfits and their European tour. The band teases their new music, talks about the meaning behind their tracks and more!
Los Tigres Del Norte:
When you come to this kind of show you know there's a lot of food everywhere.
Oscar is eating.
But there are also plenty of chocolates that make us squirm.
We are Los Tigres Del Norte and you are watching Billboard News.
This is our fifth time coming here to Houston. We are very excited. They encourage you to go the extra mile. The next time you come here, we want to put on a better show for them, it's our responsibility.
I think it's the number one rodeo in the United States that has a Hispanic day. Our songs have a lot of meaning for Hispanics, those who live in the United States or those who come from other countries to the United States, especially Latino countries. Singing about them, you know, give them a relief about where they're from or how hard it is for them to live here, a lot of undocumented people and with our songs, you know, our song has a lot of those messages. And I think that's very, very special for us.
When we announced that we would be here, many people from other countries told us on social media that they were willing to come and see us here. So we know there's a variety of people here in Houston and people from Central America, especially from Mexico. It makes us, you know, very proud to represent these people who live here, but also the people who come see us here in the fields, the Latin blood.
