Review

Let me tell you about "Corridos Prohibidos" by Los Tigres del Norte - it's a real game-changer in the world of norteño music! Released in 1989, this album dives headfirst into the gritty world of narcocorridos, giving us a full-on taste of the band's storytelling prowess. I was blown away by how they managed to weave such vivid tales of crime and smuggling into their music. Songs like "La Camioneta Gris" and "El Zorro De Ojinaga" had me on the edge of my seat, feeling like I was right there in the midst of these intense stories.

What really struck me about "Corridos Prohibidos" was how it blended traditional norteño sounds with these bold, sometimes controversial themes. The accordion and bajo sexto create this rich backdrop for the narratives, and I found myself tapping my foot along even as I was caught up in the drama of the lyrics. It's no wonder this album snagged a Grammy nomination in 1990 - it's just that good! Plus, it marked the debut of Eduardo Hernández as a band member, ushering in a new chapter for Los Tigres del Norte that I think really elevated their sound. - Ava
