Minneapolis officially declared Sept. 9 as Los Tigres del Norte Day, recognizing the Mexican norteño group for its longstanding connection with the city and its Latino community. The proclamation was among several recent developments highlighted in Latin music this week.
Los Tigres del Norte have maintained a significant presence in the United States throughout their career, with their music frequently addressing immigration, family, working-class experiences and the Mexican American community. The Minneapolis recognition adds to the honors the group has received during its decades-long career.
The Minneapolis proclamation was part of a broader collection of uplifting Latin music moments reported this week. The roundup also included developments involving Feid, Latin music education and cultural events celebrating Latin artists and communities.
Feid was also highlighted as his film project reached theaters, adding a new screen component to the Colombian artist’s expanding career. The release follows his continued activity in music and live entertainment during 2026.
The 2026 Latin Grammy Foundation scholarship recipients were also recognized in the roundup. The program continues to support emerging musicians, with this year’s recipients including Puerto Rican violinist Razil Rosado.
Mariachi Fest was another featured event, continuing a series of celebrations centered on mariachi music and Mexican cultural traditions. The event joins other Latin music festivals and community programs taking place across the United States during the 2026 season.
The latest developments come as Latin music continues to expand its presence across concerts, film, cultural celebrations and educational programs, with artists and organizations receiving recognition for their contributions to the genre and their communities.
