For almost six decades, the name of the Tigres del Norte has been in all lists, in innumerable tents, seven Grammys and, now, a street in New York City.
On Thursday, the historic Mexican music band appeared in the neighborhood Sunset Park in Brooklyn, surrounded by fans in the great presentation of the newly minted the northern Tigers of the Norte Way.
“As of today, a street in Brooklyn is named after the Northern Tigers,” the group wrote at an Instagram post on Thursday night. “Thank you for walking with us, today and always.”
The Legends Sinalense Street sign is located in 5th Avenue and 47th Street in Brooklyn, surrounded by a litany of Latin restaurants.
“We have been coming to New York for so many years,” said vocalist and accordion Jorge Hernández in a television interview on Wednesday with Fox 5 in New York. “We have been able to connect with the community, so we have been selected today to have the street and we are very happy to be honored tomorrow.”
The appointment of the road occurred on the same day as the launch of the last EP of five tracks by the artists “La Puerta Black” “La Lottery”. The main song is a socio -political run that uses the images of the popular Mexican game of Bingo to comment on issues such as immigration and past crime of the current president of the United States.
The band will play their first show in the historic Madison Square Garden in New York on May 24 to conclude its current season of the east coast before June 13 at the Agua Caliente Casino at Rancho Mirage, California, and on June 15 in Del Mar, California.
However, Thursday's festivities were not the first time that the band “Golden Cage” was honored with a street name ceremony. A strip of W. 26th Street in Chicago bears the name honorarily of the name of the 12 -time Grammy Latin winners. The street is going through the small neighborhood of the town of the Ventosa city, known as the “Mexico of the west medium” because more than 80% of its residents are of Mexican descent.
The Northern Tigers were annoyed locally in 2014 in the most possible way, with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In June, the group will receive recognition for life for the continuous defense of the immigration of its members of Monterey County officials before their tour in Salinas, California.
