Los Tigres del Norte, a San Jose band that has sold more than 40 millions albums worldwide, is donating money from upcoming SAP Center show.
Los Tigres del Norte will donate a portion of the proceeds from its April 1 hometown concert at SAP Center in San Jose to Bay Area nonprofits that work with local farmworkers.
The San Jose band — which has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and ranks among the most popular Latin music acts — made the announcement during a press conference held at SAP Center on May 21. Los Tigres del Norte made the decision to direct funds from ticket sales to the two agencies — Ayudando Latinos a Soñar and Hijas del Campo — after hearing the news of the tragic shootings that happened in Half Moon Bay earlier this year, according to the band.
Each of the nonprofits will receive 300 tickets to the April 1 show, which they can then sell and keep the money to further their efforts to assist Latino farmworkers and their families. The venue and the promoter will also be donating a portion of the regular ticket sales as well.Los Tigres del Norte — often referenced as “The Voice of the Immigrant Community” or “The Voice of the People” — has a long history of supporting community assistance programs.
There were also representatives at the press conference from both Ayudando Latinos a Soñar and Hijas del Campo.
