I bought this cd and its the best!He really talks about good issues while singing the best music yet!There is a good futer in this band.If you buy this cd you would also like Herencia De la familia by Tigeres Del Norte. Just remember your making a good buy!

Great bands are able to capture the essence of a culture through music, even more so if they deal with some of the seedier aspects of that culture. Los Tigres del Norte have always been able to capture "real life" of los traficantes - drug traffickers on the US/Mexican border. Jefe de Jefes, however, is my favorite as the songs literally put you on the border as a traficante, battling with the good, the bad, and the ugly. Starts out nicely with a sort of 'in your face' song about being the big boss (Jefe de Jefes - Boss of the Bosses). Then winds its way though issues closer to home like Las Novias del Traficante (Girlfriends of Trafficers) and El Prisionero (The Prisoner) before throwing in a nice political tune in El General (The General) - the irony of the US stamping out the drug trade even as our citizens pay any price to get these very drugs.

Outstanding album all the way around.

The banda scene is just too saturated and unoriginal these days,there is too much garbage in this genere,however,LOS TIGRES DEL NORTE are an exception!They are the voice for mexican immigrants!The lyrics are smart,and real!The music is fresh,while still being 100% mexican grupera!"mis dos patrias"is an awsome song about his 2 dear lands....also "el prisionero" is great!I 'd reccomend this and also the old tigres recordings!

This is the real thing. You'll hear it blasting from second-story apartment windows in the Spanish-speaking neighborhoods of any major U.S. city. No hablo espanol, but I still enjoy the music. It has the perfect combination of rhythm and melody, just like the polka music I usually like to review. Some of these could be called waltzes, I guess, and they're the best too.
