First there were narco-corridos and now they are “war cumbias”he new Mexican musical genre that tells the stories of drug trafficking. “La Chimichanga” by Yahir Saldívar, is being a total success in the country and is dedicated to a member of the Gulf Cartel.

A genre that is leading the charts in Mexico with almost 100 million views and counting. The narcocumbias are sweeping, although the lyrics of the songs tell the stories of the drug traffickers. One of the singers who represents the musical style has composed a song expressly dedicated to one of the Gulf Cartel leaders.

Just a few months earlier he was shot dead by another rival gang.. Now he is a God for them, as is Chapo Guzman, who even international singers name him as Peso Pluma.

With designer clothes, wads of cash, luxury cars and weapons, Traditional corridos fused with tropical rhythms flood social networks. And they attract the attention of younger people who want to live like them to make money. They preach a life of crime, murder and score settling.
