Adolfo Urias

Adolfo Urías y su Lobo Norteño ("Adolfo Urías and his Northern Wolf") is a regional Mexican band headed by Adolfo Urías. They specialize in the norteño-sax genre. Although actually a band, some Mexicans think of him as a solo artist. Urías, born in Hobbs, New Mexico, United States, learned to play the accordion at age 13. He started his professional career with famous norteño-sax family band, Los Marineros del Norte before starting his own group on May 19, 2001. In 2002, the band's single, "Corazón Chiquito," was a hit on regional Mexican radio. In 2004, their single "Qué Chulos Ojos" became another big hit. Adolfo Urías' uncle, Polo Urías, is also a famous norteño-sax artist, and both are of the Urías dynasty in regional Mexican music. more »
