A museum to consecrate its history, a history of the people of the town and, at the same time, a way of writing Sinaloa, because our state is also written by versifying its songs and music just as the Northern Tigers. Said by Carlos Monsiváis: “they are a clear manifestation of popular culture (…) chroniclers in a testimonial choir.”
Jorge, Hernán, Eduardo, Luis and Óscar, worthy representatives of Sinaloa and Mexico, transcend borders in their singing as The Tigers of the North, a group that was forged in rural soil, with maternal traces in La Nanchi, as children they go to school and grow up in Rosa Morada, Mocorito. The Tigres del Norte were born in 1968.
Four young people leave Rosa Morada, they arrive at The Mochis, Their first setting is the Cenaduría Samy in this city, then they continue to Mexicali and then cross the border into the United States, said this by Hernán Hernández Angulo at the inauguration of the Museum.
I quote Hernán: “…we come from people who worked, who fought daily in the fields, I believe that is the root that we bring, that is why when you achieve something you enjoy it more and enjoy it more, that makes you more humble.” ; think more about the people who work, the people who are there every day fighting for their family, these are the people who should deserve respect, (we) get out of purple Rose. We didn’t have anything like what is happening today (refers to what they have achieved). We have always been loyal people and grateful to those who help us and those who have been present with us (…) four of us left, we were not Los Tigres del Norte yet and we are so productive that eighty of our family returned, this is what Sinaloans are like ”.
From this speech it is worth making an assessment: they carry the cradle within them, the sense of belonging to the rural community, to the people, beats in their souls, they reclaim their roots, they are bearers of the culture of kindness: “in the world there are good people and people who help you”; in their own right, they are assumed to be representatives of Sinaloa, from Mexico, from its people. Through his music and his singing, they express a critical attitude towards history, politics and geography imposed by the world market. His music and his singing mean weaving together the utopia of a better world for millions of people who exercise the right to migration; It also constitutes cultivating the spirituality of all these human beings on the way through the labor market to combat misfortunes and misfortunes beyond borders: “… I did not cross the border, the border crossed me, America was born free, man divided it / “They drew the line for me to jump over, and they call me an invader…”
In honor of his career and vindication of Sinaloa popular culture, on May 8 it was inaugurated in Mocorito the “Los Tigres del Norte” Museum, the black door was opened, the three locks with which it remained closed were broken to inaugurate the Museum that consecrates the history of Los Tigres del Norte, pride of La Nanchi, Rosa Morada, Mocorito , from all of Sinaloa, pride of Mexico; chroniclers of migration, of nostalgia, cultural ruptures, of love and heartbreak, of joy and sadness, of pain and tears, of denunciations against corruption and betrayal of the country; the people – the people, pulsate in the corridos and songs of The Northern Tigers.
The letters of The Tigers of the North They reiterate that humanity is born a migrant, that migration is a historical right, it constitutes a human right, rights denied by the world market, specifically by capitalism.
For music there are no borders, Los Tigres del Norte are a fighting example, an example of human love, “to love is to fight,” said Octavio Paz, the music of these artists beats in the soul, from countryman to countryman: “…challenging borders / defending honor / I have spent my life exploring other lands to give my children a better tomorrow.”
