📝 Our review

Los Tigres del Norte have spent decades as chroniclers of deep Mexico and the border. Jefe de Jefes gathers that in a dense double album where narcocorridos coexist with stories of migration and heartbreak. The production is their trademark — accordion, bajo sexto, norteña polka rhythm — but the lyrics carry the documentary weight that sets the Sinaloa band apart. A record that matters beyond the music.
