Yes, we’re open, accepting and love what Los Tigres do and represent — from their songs detailing the immigrant experience to writing the first gay norteño song to being the first major act allowed to play and record at Folsom Prison since Johnny Cash. But we’re a blue bastion in a currently red state being run over roughshod by a grandstanding culture-war extremist during a national fascist zeitgeist.
Moreover, while Los Tigres are all naturalized American citizens, we know legal facts matter little to a sitting POTUS who’s repeatedly called Mexicans criminals and rapists. But even though haters gonna hate, or maybe even call ICE or some little bitch move like that, the mighty Los Tigres del Norte are coming nonetheless.
They’ll show that not only is regional Mexican music an unstoppable cultural force, but that the band’s immense and enduring popularity proves that the Mexican perspective is a proud and inextricable part of America, regardless of whatever the fuck the racists say.
8 p.m. Friday, April 18, Dr. Phillips Center, $59.32-$251.02.
