Los Tigres live just crank out those songs, boom, boom, boom. They did 31 songs in 2 hours in dc, and I see in the NY Times review they did even more there--two sets that were one and half hour each. Although periodically folks handed written notes to roadies who then pass them up to the band who read them out--shoutouts to neighborhoods and people both here and back in central America. Then they stand for photos with audience members afterwards. The line for that was huge, and it was like 1:30 in the morning. Los Tigres had played straight from 11:15 p.m. to 1:15 a.m.
It's mostly all norteno which can kind of wear you out if you're not a cowboy hat wearing dancer ($6.50 a beer, $60 a ticket, $10 to park--there were some folks there with kids in strollers for this big night out with the legends). They mixed in some boleros, waltzes, sappy ballads and rockish numbers though. The sound system had the bass and drums booming, and the accordion was well mic'ed also, but you couldn't hear the acoustic guitar-like bajo sexto.

four years pass...
3ballmty have a debut album coming out, but it sounds like their attempt to go pop isn't going to quite hit the mark (not for me anyway--I'm less sure of how they will do with sales):

I was all excited about buying this, but after listening to these clips and having heard the title track before, I'm not so sure.
