Los terribles Del Norte

Since emerging in the 1980s, norteño outfit Los Terribles del Norte have developed, nurtured, and promulgated a unique sound in Mexican regional music. Though the songs they play are all in traditional styles, their use of the electric bass is not. Utilized as a counterpart lead instrument to musical director Benny Méndez's accordion, it set them apart from the beginning. Their efforts have translated into chart and sales success (two gold and six platinum records to date), numerous award nominations, a Grammy (for 2002's poignant Cómo Cansa Ser Pobre), and a Latin Grammy (for 2003's Tercera Es la Vencida), all without the support of radio. Founded by Mendez in 1983 in San Ciro de Acosta, San Luis Potosí, Mexico, the band was initially a quartet -- Mendez remains the only original member. After playing weddings, picnics, and extensive rehearsal where they absorbed and learned the lineage music of the Mexican regional tradition, they played their first international show at a beer hall in Texas in 1983. They continued to hone their sound on stages in Northern Mexico and West Texas, until they secured a recording contract with Freddie Records in late 1990. They began recording in 1991 with lead vocalist Juan Acuna as their fifth member. Given the label's tireless promotion and the band's dogged roadwork, their 1992 album, Ya Me Voy a California, hit the Mexican Regional Albums chart, peaking at number 14. The following year, Carrera de Muerte went one better. El Bronco, issued in 1995, accounted for their first gold certification and eventually went platinum. Throughout the decade, Los Terribles del Norte could do no wrong, they issued a handful of compilations that sold well, and permitted their singles -- penned by top composers -- to rule cantina and barroom jukeboxes from Juarez and El Paso to Baja California, Nogales, and San Diego. Acuna left to start his own band at the beginning of the 21st century, marking the first of a series of nearly wholesale line-up changes. In 2002 they issued 20 Corridazos that placed at number 12. Los Terribles del Norte focused on delivering realistic narcocorridos, valse Mexicanas, polkas, cumbias, and romanticos, earning four more Grammy and Latin Grammy nominations until 2002 and 2003, when they took another Grammy home for Cómo Cansa Ser Pobre and a Latin Grammy for the platinum-certified La Tercera Es la Vencida. Their albums and singles continued to chart, but radio still wouldn’t get on board because of their unusual use of the bass; it made even their most traditional recordings sound modern. In 2007, 30 Corridos: Historias Nortenas placed at 26 on the Top Latin albums chart, followed by the 2008 platinum-certified La Mejor... Coleccion de Cumbia at 24. Two more themed collections, 2010's Corridos Bien Terribles and the following year's singles compilation, Super #1's, both placed inside the Latin Albums Top 40 and inside the Top 20 on the Mexican Regional chart. After touring Mexico, South America, and the southwestern United States, the group took an extended break. They returned revitalized in 2016, with Martinez's son Benny Jr. on second accordion and lead vocals, for En Vivo Desde Houston, which didn’t chart, and the studio album Meros Jefes de Los Corridos that did, peaking just inside the Top Ten at Mexican Regional Albums. The following year's Live went to number seven. After more incessant touring, Los Terribles del Norte re-entered the studio in late 2018 and emerged with Engano in February of the next year, setting off on tour yet again.
