Los Tucanes de Tijuana
Los Tucanes de Tijuana are a Mexican norteño band founded on April 13, 1987, in Tijuana, Baja California, by singer, bajo sexto player, and composer Mario Quintero Lara (born June 8, 1976, Las Huacapas, Sinaloa). Alongside Los Tigres del Norte, they were pioneers in developing a rougher, more aggressive norteño sound rooted in Mexico's Pacific states, decisively shaping the genre's evolution. They rose to national and international prominence in the 1990s with hits including "La Chona," "El Centenario," and "Mis Tres Animales." Their repertoire of narcocorridos — narrative songs depicting cartel figures and drug trafficking — has generated both devoted audiences and repeated regulatory controversy, including bans and fines in several Mexican states. In 2019 they made history as the first regional Mexican band to perform at Coachella. Their accolades include a Latin Grammy Award for Best Norteño Album for 365 Días (2012), five Grammy nominations, the Billboard Mexican Music Legacy Award (2011), and more than thirty BMI Awards for Quintero as composer. They have accumulated 34 RIAA gold and 30 platinum certifications.
