Latin superstar Larry Hernandez scored a major success in 2009 with 16 Narco Corridos, which led to a prolific and chart-topping career in music and television. After drumming with a Sinaloa group called Los Amables del Norte, Hernandez struck out on his own in 1998, recording more than 10 albums of traditional corridos before scoring a Top 5 hit with 16 Narco Corridos. The controversial collection of drug-trafficking songs was recorded in a single day, and minted Hernandez as a major Latin music star. In 2012, he launched his own reality TV series, Larrymania.
