Initially making a name for themselves playing local nightclubs around Sinaloa, in 1987 Los Tucanes de Tijuana was comprised of Marop Quintero Lara, David Servin Raya, Alfredo González González, Gustavo Labrada Valenzuela, and Thomas A. Herrera. Upon forming the group signed with Cadena Musical/Unisono who issued their debut album “16 Exitos (La Canelera)” in 1987. The band would remain with the label until 1994 in which time Los Tucanes de Tijuana issued eight albums, most notably “Alegre Y Mujeriego”, “Soy Parrandero”, and “Clave Nueva”. By this point the band’s popularity was rising rapidly and after signing with Alcaran Records released the full-lengths “14 Tucanazos Bien Pesados” and “Mundo de Amor” in 1995.
The records catapulted Los Tucanes de Tijuana to national notoriety and they subsequently signed with EMI Latin. During the band’s short five year stay with the label, the norteño group issued a whopping 19 albums, spawning numerous radio hits. After signing with Fonovisa in 2006 Los Tucanes de Tijuana continued to release albums on a prodigious level, subsequently releasing a further 21 albums over the next eight years. The band has sold a staggering 13 million records worldwide, many of which have been certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum, they have eight Grammy nominations to their name, 66 Billboard hits and have played to adoring fans at sold-out arenas across the world. The group’s high volume of musical output combined with their consistent chart presence has made Los Tucanes de Tijuana one of the most successful Mexican bands of all time and ambassadors of the norteño genre.
Avis
Mexican Latino outfit Los Tucanes de Tijuana has been recording music since 1987 and have become a regular on the live circuit in the Latino speaking world. Their upbeat and jovial music has attracted attention from a fanbase as well as revered institutions including the Mexican Tourism Board and even the Grammy awards.
They have so far picked up eight nominations for their toe tapping sound and after seeing them live, you understand these are very duly received. The five original musicians from the very first lineup remain intact and really do throw themselves into the performance in order to enthuse and excite their crowds. They have the whole room dancing along to the irresistible latino beats as they play a large selection of instruments onstage with no aid from artificial sounds. There is a huge DIY approach to the show and it feels as though they have chosen the track list there and then. For any fans of latino pop and mexicana, Los Tucanes de Tijuana are a great band to go see.
