Encyclopedia > Adolfo Urías

Adolfo Urías y su Lobo Norteño ("Adolfo Urías and his Northern Wolf") is a Mexican norteño band headed by Adolfo Urías. Although actually a band, most Mexicans think of him as a solo singer (e.g., Julio Preciado and Britney Spears). His music, like Los Rieleros del Norte, Polo Urías, and Los Diamantes de Ojinaga, uses both the accordion and saxophone, thus creating a unique Ojinaga-flavored musica norteña, while most other norteño groups play the accordion solo. Adolfo Urías, born in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mexico, learned to play the accordion at age 13. His hit, "Corazón Chiquito," was extremely popular on the regional Mexican radio in 2002. Recently, his song "Qué Chulos Ojos" became another big hit. His songs are in traditional ranchera form, but the lyrics feature modern themes. Adolfo Urías' uncle, Polo Urías, is also a norteño singer.
