Thanks Hermit! I love this kinda stuff. Kinda the logical extension of the "narco-corridos".
But it's not nearly as popular as narco-corridos, do you actually understand the music?
No because Im an idiot who mythologizes the lives of traffickers, likes vague notions of violence and also, catchy music
Actually, I have a reasonable grasp of what they're talking about. And dont get it twisted, I dont look up to them or anything, but they're kind of fucked up, modern day murder ballads. Of course they are unlikely to reach the same level of recognition, what I mean by an extension of the corridos is that the notion is crossing other genres, in a sense targetting different audiences.
Actually, the music itself is pretty damn terrible. I should have worded it better; I find the idea of this stuff interesting in an almost folk art sort of concept.
