Four teenage brothers crossed the border from Sinaloa to San Jose and turned norteño into a decades-long chronicle of border life, immigration and the working-class hustle — 'La Jaula de Oro,' 'Contrabando y Traición,' and dozens more that played on every long drive north.
Fifty-plus years later they're still touring, still writing, still the closest thing this music has to a national anthem.
