El Halcón de la Sierra was the stage name of Fabián Ortega Piñón (1972-2010), a regional Mexican music singer known for his contributions to the norteño and corrido music genres. Born in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, El Halcón de la Sierra began his career at a young age, captivated by the Norteño folk traditions and the storytelling prowess inherent in corrido ballads. His music detailed the life and times of rural Mexico, often touching on themes of love, honor, and the struggles of the common man.

As his moniker suggests, Ortega's music soared with a rugged and free-spirited authenticity, much like the falcon's flight through the Sierra Madre mountains. Throughout his career, El Halcón de la Sierra released a substantial body of work, often performing with a deep, resonant voice accompanied by the traditional conjunto of accordions, bajo sextos, and a soulful rhythm section. His live albums like "En Vivo Desde Mochis," "En Vivo Desde Sinaloa," and "En Vivo, Vol. 3" capture the raw energy of his performances, while collaborations such as "Dos Grandes a Dueto" showcase his ability to meld his signature style with other artists. Despite a rising career that promised even greater heights, El Halcón de la Sierra's life was tragically cut short in 2010; however, his music continues to resonate with fans, ensuring his legacy within the norteño music panorama remains enduring.
