    http://variety.com/2014/music/features/los-tigres-establish-footprint-on-walk-of-fame-1201287213/ Los Tigres Receive Star on the Walk of Fame Kevin Winter/Getty Images August 21, 2014 | 10:00AM PT By Agustin Gurza They have been a band for as long as the Rolling Stones. They’ve recorded more than 500 songs and made more than 60 albums, selling over 35 million copies worldwide. They’ve appeared in some 18 movies and won 10 Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards. SEE MORE: From the August 19, 2014 issue of Variety But when Mexican norteno band Los Tigres del Norte get their star Aug. 21 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, most people still might wonder, “the who?” Despite the crossover success of other Latino performers who share stars on the celebrity walkway, from Ricardo Montalban to Ricky Martin, Los Tigres remain the most famous band you probably never heard of. However, to their legions of fans, many of whom share the same immigrant roots, Los Tigres are more than just celebrities. They are working-class heroes, champions of the undocumented who for four decades have sung about their dreams and disappointments, discrimination and drive for rights and respect. To the busboys and janitors, store clerks and chambermaids who work in businesses along those same Hollywood sidewalks, Los Tigres are as much a household name as the Beatles. “This is another accomplishment that we owe to the community, to our fans who have stayed so loyal so long,” says bassist Hernan Hernandez. That populist touch is perhaps the single most important factor in the band’s longevity.

  • La Homosexualidad En La Corridística Mexicana1 Juan Carlos Ramírez
    Vol. 17, Num. 1 (Fall 2019): 246-277 Esos malditos meneos: La homosexualidad en la corridística mexicana1 Juan Carlos Ramírez-Pimienta San Diego State University—Imperial Valley A finales del año 2014 los veteranos ídolos de la música norteña Tigres del Norte promocionaban Realidades, su nueva producción musical. El sencillo que encabeza dicha producción lleva por título “Era diferente” y por su temática lésbica era el que más atraía la atención del público y de los medios.2 En una de las múltiples 1 Mi más sincero agradecimiento a los evaluadores de este ensayo por sus valiosos comentarios. Asimismo, mucho agradezco al Dr. Guillermo Núñez Noriega por sus valiosas observaciones y por generosamente responder a numerosas dudas. Este último ha ya comenzado a estudiar la intersección entre la narcocultura y los estudios de las masculinidades enfocándose en un narcocorrido y su parodia. Asimismo, Robert Irwin ha escrito abundantemente sobre la representación de la homosexualidad en corridos de principios del siglo XX dedicados al famoso caso de los 41. Lo que yo pretendo hacer con este ensayo es estimular la reflexión crítica sobre el estado de conocimiento acerca de los vínculos entre masculinidades, homosexualidades, corrido y narcocorrido en el cancionero mexicano y mexicoamericano. Para hacer esto me he propuesto ampliar la muestra de corridos en los que se presentan protagonistas o personajes homosexuales, es decir, empezar a construir un corpus solido que muestre desde representaciones negativas y estereotipadas de la homosexualidad, hasta representaciones heroicas. Mi aproximación al tema se da desde el campo de los estudios del corrido y en este sentido pretendo que sirva como base para una discusión mucho más amplia desde otros campos, incluyendo por supuesto los estudios de género, queer y de las masculinidades.

  • Arturo Carrillo Strong Collection
    ARIZONA HISTORICAL SOCIETY 949 East Second Street Library and Archives Tucson, AZ 85719 (520) 617-1157 [email protected] MS 1431 STRONG, ARTURO CARRILLO, 1950-1998 DESCRIPTION The bulk of this collection consists of manuscript and newspaper material dealing primarily with drug dealing in Arizona and northern Sonora following World War II. The collection was gathered as research material for Arturo Strong's book, Corrido de Cocaine: Inside Stories of Hard Drugs, Big Money and Short Lives, and includes many edited or related chapters of Strong's book. Unfortunately, in most cases, these chapter revisions are not numbered, dated or identified in any way as to the order of preparation. This makes it difficult to determine the sequence of theses chapter revisions. The collection also includes a number of short children's stories written by Arturo Strong. Interspersed throughout the manuscript section of the collection are a number of interviews conducted by Arturo Strong. Also included is a small amount of personal information related to Arturo Strong, photographs, audio cassette tapes of interviews and video tapes of Geraldo and Phil Donahue television programs. 15 boxes, 7.25 linear ft. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE A fourth-generation Tucsonan, Harry Arthur Strong was born in 1930. He joined the Pima County Sheriff's Department in 1951 and soon became one of two local undercover narcotics agents. Having been raised in a Tucson barrio, Strong had the respect and friendship of many local drug dealers, who provided information for Corrido de Cocaine. After retiring from the Sheriff's Department in 1964, Strong briefly moved to California, but returned to Tucson where he died on Feb.
