Los Angeles — As part of “Rompiendo Fronteras World Tour 2018,” Los Tigres Del Norte join Alejandro Fernández with the main purpose of bringing to our Mexican brothers and Latino community that lives in the United States together through the music that connects our hearts regardless of time or distance, the music that breaks boundaries.
Especially to all Mexicans and Latinos who have not been able to see their families for years, as it is the case of many “Dreamers,” who are alone since their parents were deported or those who have been persecuted for living the “American Dream.” Despite this, Mexico keeps beating really strong in their hearts.
Super star Alejandro Fernandez, whose celebrated live shows combine spellbinding performances of pop and ranchera, will tour this summer and fall with the legendary Los Tigres del Norte in what promises to be one of the hottest tours of the year.
Rompiendo Fronteras Tour 2018, produced by CMN Events, kicks off Thursday August 23 in Newark, New Jersey and makes its way to 20 cities including Miami, Los Ángeles, Houston, San Jose, San Antonio, San Diego, Washington DC, and Chicago, among others, concluding November 18 in Denver (see tour dates below and ticketing outlets). Tickets go on sale today Friday, June 1.
Over the years, Alejandro has collaborated with Christina Aguilera, Rod Stewart, his father Vicente Fernandez, and in what was one of the most exciting vocal combinations of all time, with Plácido Domingo and José Carreras for The Three Tenors. Alejandro has sold over 30 million albums, won two Latin GRAMMY Awards, the Billboard Hall of Fame Award and was awarded with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Los Tigres del Norte have been champions of ‘the people’ in their music, and many of their most popular songs consist of tales or corridos about life, love, and the struggle to survive in an imperfect world. Born in Mexico, but raised in San Jose, CA, they have released 51 albums since 1968 and together, the band and its public has turned norteño music into an international genre. They have 7 Grammy Awards, 6 Latin Grammy Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Los Tigres are politically active and socially conscious and received the Special Recognition Award at the 26th annual GLAAD Media Awards in 2015, for their song “Era Diferente,” he band ranked at number 15 in the list for “The 30 Most Influential Latin Artists of All Time” by Billboard magazine.
