Los Rieleros del Norte

While Los Rieleros del Norte is among one of the oldest Mexican Norteño bands, they are far from the most traditional. The band, which now resides in Texas, was formed in the state of Chihuahua in Mexico in the late seventies and they were quick to set themselves apart from other Norteño bands. Los Rieleros del Norte use the saxophone as well as the accordion in their music, creating a hybrid sound that was fresh at the time of the band’s inception and still sounds wonderful today.

The band is formed of hard workers and they have released multiple albums over the years, even releasing multiple albums in the same year. Their constant creativity and touring has won them a lot of fans over the years and a Los Rieleros del Norte show often sees concert-goers crowded around the stage getting as close to the group as they possibly can.

After playing together for thirty-five years, each performance by Los Rieleros del Norte still feels like it could be their first. They love performing and always keep their energy high. Their discography is also so extensive that they are able to pick and mix songs for different shows, which ensures they are always on their toes. “El Columpio” is easily one of the band’s most popular songs and is always a highlight when included in their set list.
