Lest we native-born U.S. citizens forget who crossed what borders, Los Tigres del Norte — as well-known to Mexican-Americans as the Beatles are to gringos — return to remind us. The legendary norteño group performs upbeat corridos and cumbias mixed with strong messages. Behind the good-time accordions and harmonies are straight-shooting lyrics like, “Quiero recordarle al gringo: Yo no cruce la frontera, la frontera me cruzo,” or, “I want to remind the gringos: I didn’t cross the border, the border crossed me.”
