Editor's note

Larry Hernandez, the corrido singer from Sinaloa

A regional Mexican artist known for gritty narco-corridos and softer love songs.

If you want to hear his signature style, start with 'El Taliban' or 'El Corrido del Piyi.' For something different, try 'Carita de Angel.'

Larry Hernandez built his name in the early 2000s with corridos that narrated stories from the Mexican drug trade, a style that drew both fans and criticism. Songs like 'El Taliban' and 'El Corrido del Piyi' became radio staples, grounding his music in specific, sometimes controversial, real-life figures. Beyond those tracks, he also recorded gentler numbers like 'Carita de Angel,' showing he wasn't limited to one tone.

He started out singing corridos about drug trade figures, with 'El Taliban' helping grow his audience early on. Later, he worked with groups like Los Caimanes de Sinaloa on 'El Corrido del Piyi' and put out albums such as 'El Origen' in 2009 and 'De Vuelta a la Sierra' in 2016. His father and brother have been part of his band, keeping it a family affair.
