I kinda get it there is apparently a whole market around them and get paid or killed depending what kind of corrido you make. Mexico is fuckin wild man.

there is an infamous video in YouTube about Chalino SΓ‘nchez reading a death threat during a concert, getting visibly distressed and then continuing singing as if nothing happened. He got whacked when the concert ended.

That Mexican folk music, in the 50s and 60s, made its way to Yugoslavia, after the Yugo-Soviet Split, and a bunch of Slavic guys got SUPER into dressing like gauchos.

It was called YuMex

Anyway, Luigi should become a YuMex guy, it would be funny.

I thought everyone knew about corridos because of Breaking Bad

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

I mean I watched breaking bad I just didn't know the history or that it was a whole genre.

Los Tigres del Norte is one of the more popular corridos bands, people in San Jose looooove that shit. Like thelastaxolotl said a lot of them are narcocorridos now and can be pretty brutal

I get the gist of the lyrics from reading the subtitles, but is there a good translation?

[–] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

I transcribed them and ran it through google

Huh, I was listening to this kinda music for a bit without even realizing it. I just like accordions.
