Adolfo Urias

Adolfo Ur?as y su Lobo Norte?o ("Adolfo Ur?as and his Northern Wolf") is a Mexican norte?o band headed by Adolfo Ur?as. Although actually a band, most Mexicans think of him as a solo singer (e.g., Julio Preciado, El Coyote, Marco Antonio Solis, and Antonio Aguilar). His music, like Los Rieleros del Norte, Polo Ur?as, and Los Diamantes de Ojinaga, uses both the accordion and saxophone, thus creating a unique Ojinaga-flavored musica norte?a, while most other norte?o groups play the accordion solo. Adolfo Ur?as, born in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mexico, learned to play the accordion at age 13.

His hit, "Coraz?n Chiquito," was extremely popular on the regional Mexican radio in 2002. Recently, his song "Qu? Chulos Ojos" became another big hit. His songs are in traditional ranchera form, but the lyrics feature modern themes. Adolfo Ur?as' uncle, Polo Ur?as, is also a norte?o singer.
