The music genre that celebrates drug cartels
In Mexico and parts of the United States, narcocorridos are an increasingly popular musical genre.
These songs celebrate the lifestyle of drug cartels and their leaders,
portraying them as folk heroes and singing about their exploits in drug trafficking, violence, and corruption.

The lyrics of narcocorridos can be violent, explicit, and graphic, describing the drug trade in detail, from smuggling drugs across the border to violent confrontations with rival gangs or law enforcement. Many of these songs mention real-life drug cartel leaders, such as Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, Amado Carrillo Fuentes, or Rafael Caro Quintero.
Despite the controversial subject matter, narcocorridos have a large following in Mexico and among Hispanic communities in the United States. Many fans see the songs as a reflection of the harsh realities of life in impoverished areas where drug trafficking is rampant.
The Mexican government has tried to crack down on narcocorridos, arguing that they promote organized crime and undermine efforts to combat drug trafficking. In 2011, the state of Chihuahua passed a law banning the performance of narcocorridos in public places. However, the law was later overturned by the Mexican Supreme Court, which argued that it violated freedom of expression.
Love them or hate them, narcocorridos are here to stay. They are a reflection of the complex issues surrounding drug trafficking, poverty, and violence in Mexico and parts of the United States. Whether they glorify crime or shed light on harsh realities, one thing is certain: they are a powerful expression of the cultural and social issues of our time.
