See Los Tigres del Norte perform at Folsom Prison in a new documentary
release “La Prisión de Folsom ,” the lead single and video from the band’s upcoming Netflix Original Documentary,, along with a soundtrack album of the same name. Both are due out in September, in honor of Hispanic Heritage month., and its landmark opening song, “Folsom Prison Blues.” Fifty years later, Johnny Cash’s classic would get its first-ever Spanish-language treatment by Los Tigres del Norte.
The song was modified with the support of John Carter Cash, son of Johnny, and written in collaboration with Ana Cristina Cash, Johnny’s daughter-in-law. “It was such a blessing to be able to support Los Tigres del Norte in this project,” wrote the couple in a statement. “For Ana Cristina, a multi-lingual songwriter who learned Spanish as her first language, collaborating with this legendary band on the translation of ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ was a particular honor. We’re both thrilled that the translation will reach new listeners and merge the two worlds of country andmusic, while preserving the integrity and message of the original song. For us, and for Johnny Cash, music has no boundaries.
Of the many artists who’ve sought permission to record at Folsom Prison — more so for the 50th Anniversary of Johnny Cash’s performance — Los Tigres del Norte was the only act authorized by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In fact, Los Tigres are the only band to record an album at Folsom since Cash released his 1968 opus.
