The Los Tigres Del Norte Museum Opens In Sinaloa

The museum of Los Tigres del Norte was inaugurated in Mocorito, Sinaloa earlier this week. The Constitutional Governor of Sinaloa, Dr. Rubén Rocha Moya, and the Municipal President of Mocorito, María Elizalde Ruelas, were part of this event among other distinguished attendees.

María Elizalde Ruelas opened the evening and addressed the public, media, and members of Los Tigres del Norte, announcing that they were very pleased to have the presence of the group for this commemorative event, and noted that the museum arrived after four years of work.

Artifacts in the museum include as the first record they recorded in 1968, original pieces, and more. The band stuck around to cut the ribbon and open the museum. Additionally, they sold the first entrance ticket to the event, unveiled a plaque, and celebrated with attendees who offered them a standing ovation.

After the inauguration, a press conference was held where Alfredo Delgadillo, CEO & President of Universal Music México/Fonovisa-Disa and Antonio Silva, Managing Director Fonovisa-Disa México and USA, were in charge of introducing them. This more intimate environment allowed the band—Jorge, Hernán, Eduardo, Luis, and Oscar—to meet in a more low-key way with the media that had been covering the different events since early in the day. The group graciously asked all questions asked of them, regarding their history, the museum, and more.

Los Tigres del Norte originally formed in the small town of Rosa Morada in Mocorito, Sinaloa, Mexico. The regional Mexican sensations have racked up a staggering seven Grammy awards and 12 Latin Grammys.

The band first won a Grammy Award in 1988 for their album Gracias, América sin Fronteras. They went on to win six more from 2007-2016. Twelve years later, their album Herencia de Familia won the award for Best Norteño Album at the first ever Latin Grammys.
