Los Tigres del Norte was started by Jorge Hernandez in Sinaloa, Mexico, in the early part of the '60s. Jorge recruited his brothers and cousins to play in the ensemble, and the band began its recording career in the late '60s. The band members, who were still in their teens, received a sponsorship from Discos Fama. Under the guidance of the label's owner, Art Walker, the teens recorded their first hit single. Contrabando y Traicion, which was based on an actual cross-border drug smuggling incident, quickly became a hit on both sides of the border and established the group's reputation as international performers. Through the years, Los Tigres has experienced a few changes in personnel but continues to be composed of members of the Hernandez family and relatives from its extended family.
