But hes surprising us right now. Eighty years of banda recodo. Eighty years, thats not easy to say. How does it feel to be doing it for 80 years . [speaking foreign language] Oscar Alvarez were all so excited. Alfonso excited, and a pleasure to stay in this banda with a large trajectory, since 1938. [speaking foreign language] oscar so many times, were traveling, making music for our fans, and making music for all the peoples in the five continents. Because we stay in japan, australia, and morocco, africa. Damian they like banda in japan . Oscar yeah, yeah. In 2002no, in the work up to 2002, we stayed in japan and making many performances in, like, five places in japan, and making so many friends because thewe have communication with friends in japan. And then, we traveled into australia. And making music for the people in australia is so funny, because the people stay in their seats, make move, but dont stand up. And we damian try to encourage them. Oscar yeah, and [speaking foreign language]. The people dont wanna sit again before bailando con la banda. Damian talk about what its going to feel like to share the stage with los tigres del norte and paquita la del barrio. Who can answer that one . [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] damian all right, i dont think that needs any translation, because just the power of having three legends on at the same time. And i told you this on the telemundo side, but my dad, the first mexican music i started listening to was banda recodo because he had the album, and look at you guys now. Youre not 80 years old. Oscar yeah, this band they are recording music from 1951. We have more than 200 records. Damian well, its awesome that you guys are here, that you came to join us, and i cant wait to throw some chanclazos over at the sap, gracias. Oscar thank you. Damian and up next here on comunidad del valle, los idolos del pueblo, los tigres de norte, here in our studio. Stay with us. [singing in foreign language] damian boy, they are truly a legend. These are los tigres del norte, los idolos del pueblo. Anything you wanna add to that, theyve earned it and we are so honored that they are here in our studio, exclusively on comunidad del valle. Welcome to the show, boys. Jorge hernandez thank you. Damian ive waited 21 1 2 years for this, to have you in my studio. What took you guys so long to be here . Jorge well, thank you. Thank you for having us here. We are very proud to be here in this area, and we are gonna be performing here in the sap arena next february 17. Damian whats it like to come home and sing in front of your home crowd here in san jose . Jorge we love it. We are kinda nervous, though, because we havent been for the last three and a half years we havent been here in the city, so kinda nervous. So, i hope everything goes well. Damian all right, let me get serious on a topic if i can, don hernan. You and i were watching the news earlier on nbc bay area and you saw a lot of the immigration issues. How angry does it make you . Because youre kinda considered a social activist, how angry does it make you when you see the attacks on immigrants . Hernan hernandez seeing all these things that happening right now, you know, it makes me upset. It makes methe frustration, you know, it gets bigger every day, you know, because when you see the way things are getting for the dreamers especially. All those young generation, those are the young kids, they came here with their parents without being their own decision. You know, it was the parents decision. And now the way the president is doing these things and the way hes using his way of thinking or the way of saying the things or what hes gonna do, you know, it makes me so upset and it makes me the frustration. Not only in the Mexican Community or latino community, i think most of the nationalities that live in the united states, you know, we are all confused and we dont know whats gonna happen, you know . I just hope, you know, that we canlike us, you know, that we live here for so many years and we have our kids here already, so i think we should make this kind of union, you know, to make a story, you know. And maybe artists and people that really have that pull of how to get together, you know, to ask in a good way and a specific way, you know, to do something for the dreamers, you know . And can you imagine if the dreamers go back to their own countries and they were here all their lives, you know . That stuff, you know, thats a decision that i hope the president changes his heart, i mean, touch his heart. Damian do you see a corrido about President Trump in the future by los tigres del norte . Jorge probably. Damian probably, right . Jorge probably. We have to do it in a good way for so many reasons. Damian how tough is it, maybe one of you guys can answer, to take a stand, to say that los tigres del norte are gonna stand up for immigrants . I mean, its probably easy for you guys, but you know that you might be criticized by some other people, but where the immigrants are gonna be cheering you . How tough of a balance is that . Eduardo hernandez well, yeah, youre right. We can be criticized, but you know, we have to do it. Its something that we have to stand up for and, you know, fight for our community, fight for our people, fight for our, not only like hernan said, mexicans, but the whole latino people. We have to fight for them. We have to raise our boys to do something about it, you know . Damian a musical legend, los tigres del norte, promoting a concert in san jose. Theyl bex stay with us. [singing in foreign language] damian boy, look at that crowd. Estadio azteca. This is where los tigres del norte just have been taking off for so long. Luis, what was that like . Its one of the biggest stadiums in the world, and there you are right in the center of it. Luis hernandez well, our responsibility to be performing in front of more than 100,000 people, and you know, having them sing your songs, having them ask for your songs. Because it could seem like its easy to stand there, but when youre in front of this crowd that its verythat knows your music, that its very traditional, its kindsameime. But you know, i think we did well. We performed in front of all these people, and after we decided to make a cd and a dvd so people, in their house, people that couldnt attend could have this dvd or cd with all the hits of los tigres del norte fortheyre their hits. Theyre the peoples hits. Those are the ones that People Choose from all of our songs that we have over 50 years. Damian now, i took a flight to mexico city to cover the earthquake. On the way back, i heard this album on the flight back and it justit made things a lot better, cause youre coming back depressed from seeing that. So, thank you all for doing that. All thank you. Damian i asked you this last time, jorge, but do you sometimes sing your songs because of the topic with coraje . Do you sing it with anger because youre talking about maybe the injustices that youve see . Jthe community, and sometimes swhenyou really feel it. ,g in you have the sentiment, and that we try to transmit it to the people. But also, its because its the way we are. We justwere not acting or anything like that. Something that comes through your mind and comessome songs that make you feel like you have to do it that way so people can relate it to you, but also believe what we saying and believe the story of what we singing about. We always sing songs about our community, what happens with our people, so thats why we are very direct with what we sing. Damian and you t but you all do a lot of charity work. Youre as american as you are mexican. You perform for the troops. Tell us why you decide to go overseas and perform for our Service Members across. Hernan those you know, to go sing for the troops, i think it was the most beautiful experience, but at the same time, to go give them the music, the happiness. So many latinos in the army, and it was like being there singing for them, like, in this big, big ship. You know, its like over 5,000 latinos right there, soldiers, you know . Its like, it was the most beautiful experience, but at the thats why when you get to you see that and then you come back hoand you relate the problems with them being over there, i mean, its like saying, like, if its not equal, you know, if its not fair. There are all these latinos that we saw over there went to korea, to germany, to italy, to japan, and taking our music give them that happiness, how they miss their families, how they miss, i mean, everything, you know . And then at the same, theyre there, maybe they dont wanna how they miss, i mean, everything, you know . They come back with this hernan yeah, you know, its so important for us, you knth i wish i can go back and do it again, you know, because its not that you go there to get publicity, you know . Its not that, you know . Its you go there because you wanna give them what they need, because they in danger. You know, they dont know if theyre gonna come back. And i think a lot of our songswe have songs, you know, like los hijos hernandez, you know, that is a song that it talks about this hernandez last name person that went to fight for united states, and when he comes back here and he goes backhe goes to mexico to visit the family, he has problems to cross, even though he went over there and fought for the country, you know . All these things relate a lot. A lot of people, you know, it happens to a lot of people, you know . Its not too long ago, we went to play in tijuana and we saw a to a lot of people, you know . For some reason they went to they didnt let em pass, you know . I think there was, like, not like a treaty, but it was something that the government used to offer in those days. You know, you go fight and they damian you get your citizenship. Hernan yeah, so those kind of things are the ones with tigres del norte. We sing those kinds of things because its real. I mean, it happens. Damian a true honor having los tigres del norte on comunidad del valle. Theyll sing for us next. No se vayan. Peaking in foreign language]] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [singing in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] damian thats so awesome. Los tigres del norte, there at estadio azteca, live in concert. Don eduardo, does this songyou know, a lot of these songs kinda give you chills. They make you really excited that youre listening and maybe dancing to these songs. But when you see the people getting into it, there at azteca, they werent really dancing. They were enjoying it. Does thati mean, does that give you a little more power to say, theyre listening to the words. Theyre watching me play. Eduardo oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It gives me more, likeyou get more happy. You get more involved, you know, with the people, because theyre not dancing. Theyre just watching you. Theyre looking at you. You can see their expression. You can see em, like, really close, and it gives you, like, chills. Its like, you know, like here at the sap, when we play on february 17, its gonna be, you know, like, close to thewere gonna be close to the people too, and it feels good. It feels like you want get down and sing for them right there on the chair. Damian its a business, verdad, don luis, because the night before, you probably have to go to bed early. That day, its business. Youre there to perform. People, maybe its their first time seeing you. Youre there toits a business. Luis yeah, you need to be prepared. Its a very big responsibility, and people goes there to enjoy it. You know, not only to listen to the song, but also to see what you do, and how you stand on the stage, what do you wanna project. Its very important to be prepared and to be relaxed at the same time. You know, its a mixture of a lot of the stories, you know . One moment you are very happy. At another moment, youre sad, makes you cry. Weve seen people cry when we sing certain songs, certain stories, and its very emotional, you know . Its a very emotionalour concerts are normally very emotional because of the stories that we sing. We try to singnot sing the same stories at the same time. We make sure of those feelings and we make people to change their mood, you know, during the concert. Itslost tigres del norte, weve been doing that for a long time. And you know, here at the sap, the difference too is that this show, its for the whole family. Kids can go, the parents, everyone can go. Its not a dance where youre gonna be standing. People can be sitting down, listening to the songs, and enjoying what we do on stage. Damian yeah, and don jorge, lastly, when an immigrant comes to this country by themselves, theyre alone, they might be depressed, they left their family back home. They turn on the radio, and they listen to los tigres del norte, and they feel like theyre home. Thats gotta make you really proud to know. Jorge its the most wonderful thing that can happen sometimes, we talk about itto and they tell us what they feel, what the songs mean to them, they mean the memories, the way they came to this country, the way they behave in this country, the way they progressing, some of em the way they fell, the way they dont have the opportunity. And the songs is all about all that, and when we are in person singing for them, is another story. Its like reminding them their life, their life here and the people behind them in mexico and Different Countries. They left and they came here to this country to progress, to do the best they can so they can support who is staying in a differentin mexico and in Different Countries where the families belong at that moment. And thats one of those sentiments very strong feelings for me. And when we see these people in front of us and you singing these stories, its like they giving you so much power in your body that you wanna open more to them and make you to help in any way that you can. Damian god has blessed us by having you all come into all our lives; thank you all so much. Jorge thank you, damian. Damian boy, what a true honor to have los tigres del norte finally on comunidad del valle. They were promoting a concert in san jose. In fact, were gonna leave you m of los tigres del norte.
