April 10, 2024 – INDIO, CA – Latin Grammy Award-winning norteño group Los Tucanes de Tijuana will light up the Special Events Center stage at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Sunday, Oct. 13.

The legendary band was founded in Tijuana, Baja California in 1987 and is led by Mario Quintero Lara. Los Tucanes de Tijuana, along with Los Tigres del Norte, were pioneers in playing music in a rougher manner as opposed to the traditional norteño music of northeastern Mexico. This style subsequently influenced many other norteño artists from Mexico’s Pacific states giving that region of the country its signature norteño sound.

Throughout their career, Los Tucanes de Tijuana have garnered several awards and honors, including a Latin Grammy in 2012 for the album 365 Días, five Grammy Award nominations, nine Lo Nuestro Awards nominations and multiple BMI Awards for Mario Quintero Lara as a composer.

They are the first norteño band to earn an international film award by winning the Un Certain Regard Angel Film award at the Monaco International Film Festival for the documentary “Los Ilegales.” In 2008, the group received a star on the Las Vegas Walk of Fame.

In 2019 Los Tucanes de Tijuana became the first regional Mexican music group to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and have performed in popular events in Mexico in addition to Vive Latino and Pa’l Norte festivals.

They have sold more than 25 million albums worldwide and have obtained 34 Gold and 30 Platinum records. Songs from their repertoire like “La Chona,” “El Tucanazo,” “La Chica Sexy,” “Vivir de Noche,” and “El Centenario” remain in high rotation on radio stations and streaming platforms.

Tickets for the show start at $49 and go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 12, 2024 and can be purchased the the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via phone 800-827-2946, or online at www.FantasySpringsResort.com
