Mexico's narcocorrido music genre and subculture openly celebrates the most extreme aspects of the country's drug war. The songs are filled with catchy, detailed narrations of beheadings, executions, coked-out nights, and a strangely consistent obsession with Buchanan's whiskey.
With lyrics like "We're bloddy and a little twisted / We love killing / Mass kidnappings are the way they should be done / All my crew with gold-plated AKs / Shooting up their bodies until they fall to pieces / A sharpened knife on hand for beheadings," the movimiento alterado-literally the "altered movement"-is more of a "we're-fucking-crazy-and-we-will-cut-you-up" movement.
The music scene originated in the old cartel citadel of Mexico's western Sinaloa state, and it's an open secret that most of the artists identified with the genre are tied to the local cartel.
VICE went to Mexico to talk to some of the genre's major producers and see whether they're as hard as their songs suggest.

Out of all the real drug affiliated or famous musicians in Mexico, Vice had to find the Vanilla Ice of the Narco music world.
Lol right these corridors suck where gerado ortiz at?
Man gerardo ortiz suck!!! There's a lot of other music groups that are way better
Man gerardo ortiz suck!!! There's a lot of other music groups that are way better
I wonder if that’s because they aren’t as heavily tied to the culture of actually being a drug dealer and/ or to heinous acts of violence
Look up Abraham Vazquez and read his story he's pretty cool
This like trap for mexicans. but way more real and brutal. aint no games out there lmao
Only Natural no bro the people who sing this dont know shit they bring to many eyes on us so we have to close there life
Only Natural yes amigo
Yeah and they be sometimes hanging around when the narcos
Shit ain't trap or brutal just cowards a who prey on the weak any coward can pull a trigger but being man rare
glo ice 💀
Shout out to everyone who doesn't need subtitles
But still reads them :v
Orale loco
Ya sabes pa
Al chile guey
Awuebo
Out of all the real corrido artist you picked el kommander this is the equivalent of Soulja Boy
Jesus Torres LOL
Jesus Torres are u serious hahaha wow I'm not Mexican so I wouldn't know lol
Hell nah wtf😂
Or like a lil pump
Facts, *Chalino Sanchez* the king of the corridos.
I like how the lyrical is so explicit yet the music sounds so nonthreatening
Nicoletta Ciccone just the rhythm “polca” not the music
@Nicoletta Ciccone just how Americans steal Mexican culture and profit from it
@Nicoletta Ciccone is true either you want to accept it or not
1 Love nah mexican americans created burritos
Candle Light Does Things i mean how you want it for it to sounds fucking dumb ass 😆😆😆
Basically producers say: "I don't give a f*** where money is coming from as long as it keeps flowing this way".
Shit who wouldn't say that
@@sminor193 i swear money is money and as long as we earn it.it doesnt matter who it comes from at the end thats the only thing and it might be the only way to get it we shouldnt judge the people that we get it from its their business on what they are on but at the end your business between them and you is only that one part of getting the money his business and your business that doesnt have to do with one another shouldnt matter to both of the people its ah whole different story right there so just make that trade and the rest its up to each one of you with a different story behind it
R B so lets say he’s selling sex slaves, it don’t matter cause money is money right?
@@rb3060 Your really stupid or really young maybe both? it does matter where things come from you fool.
@@deliverus6856 right
It's funny how people say this music is bad but turn around and listen to a rapper talk about killing 😂😂😂😂
Preach
ye, but mostly rappers ain't even about that life
Cle an so what you’re saying is rappers are fake? Except Bobby Shmurda 😂
@Sal Vulcano not true, that shit slaps
Look at Chicago and what it's like idiot 😂
So you're telling me my neighbors have been plotting to kill me this whole time?!
Nah not all the music is narco music my dude I’m pretty sure they don’t play Marco music
yup if your in resturants and some clubs and you ask for this music they either ask you to leave or if look like homie throw you out
The music sounds so happy...but then i read the subtitles and I'm like wtf
yeah most think that
Yeah man i know
You can see the influence it has.
Ong LMFAO
@@valkiron11it has zero influence narco culture influenced the music not the other way around
No shit they listen to narcos. Wtf are they gonna listen, smooth jazz?
julio Alejandro Alvarez 😂 FR!

The intro start fuccked me up

Roasted 🔥
Even more then a mansion
Horse ain’t with more than 70k
They compare this shit to trapp!!! No the shit they actually say its real things that happened... i remmeber in high school they used to say mexicans only sing about tacos!! I was like u dont wanna know what corridos really say 😂😂
Julio Valadez quieres un corrido chingon busca el diablo narcorido los tucanes de tijuana o uno viejo es se estan acabando los pistoleros
Julio Valadez tacos ?? Like taco Bell ?? Hahahhaha
Apparently what they say is like kindergarten level rap here in the US
@@AllfatherBlack the thing is in Spanish what they're saying rhymes translation does justice to the songs lol
Jacob if your dumbass knew Spanish it would make sense you probably used google translate
Corridos= money, guns, hoes
Rap=money, guns, hoes
Only thing is these guys dont play like in rap were rappers kiss each other (wayne and birdman) and have never even shot a gun
Mark Martinez rappers are fucking pussies compared to these guys
Mark Martinez and murder
Mark Martinez Main stream rappers are usually soft. But there are those like Webbie, Boosie( probably responsible for 4 or 5 murders) and a lot of others who you don't hear on the radio who are known for their crimes. Just depends. Anyone with a gun can kill
+Mark Martinez also, Corridos = true stories
I'm a white boy from Texas but I jam Chalino when I drink and do Coke .
Dawn Foster that’s right 🤠🤠

I'm a asian dude and i bump nsync when i do heroin and sniff coffee
Do you get invited to carne asadas?
@@itsallgood5314 yea he snorts cocaine off the tip of his homies dikks
"Sinaloa" is the equivalent of "Sicily" and Los Angeles is the equivalent of New York for the Mexican mafia to the Italian mafia.
Interesting
I know everything they’re saying but I’m still reading the subtitles Lmfaoo I’m dumb faded 😭
TRiXz only thing you roll is bunk weed
Im from Puerto Rico but i love that Music 🤷♂️ CHALINO SANCHEZ is one of my Favorites
Ariba puelto lico loco !!! Lmao
Chalino es nuestro Tupac...
youngswhtx dirian Puelto Rico, pero Lico nunca. You’re obvious a fake mexican because youve never talked to a boricua in spanish

Iam an indian i fell in love with del negociante ariels corrido but later realised he passed away rest in peace amigo❤
thats so cool u like our music 😁👍🏽
I'm Mexican but really like Indian music too. Peace bro✌🏻
The accordion is the most gangster instrument ever..! xD LOL!
I play the accordion and my cousins are gangsters 💯
@@jah5886 No they aint
@@guero210 Wdym lol, they literally work for the cartel.
@@jah5886 sure they do
@@guero210 what's so hard to believe?
I'm mexican american and i bang this corrido music when i drink. no one except mexicans will understand this music.
Eeee true I second that.
Hell yeah I always bump this when I drink as well
Nobody but Mexicans want to understand this shit.
Los ponemos alterados😂😂
I'm not mexican, but I recognize the song on 5:15 for example. This is that fun mexican music which they like to use in those funny cartel clips on ync where they smack each other with baseball bats and do other twisted things if you know what I mean :)
"we hate when people call it narco music"
Vice in their title "Narco Music is the Soundtrack to the Mexican War on Drugs"
You know i turn up to these every weekend bro
I showed this tape to some Mexican friends and they were ashamed and disgusted. Its one thing to use music to describe harsh realities but to glorify violence and the cartels sickened them and pandered to stereotypes.
Kiss my Chicano ass, and those Mexican friends you have are called coconuts.
MrKeefster Real Mexicans think of "Chicanos" as "pochos", and anyone who calls themselves "Chicano" as punks. I know plenty of real Mexicans who consider this corny clown noise (fucking tubas and trombones that sound like farts after a meal of frijoles, combined with accordions, the least cool instrument on the planet) to be an embarrassment.
@Ana Francisca Z right! And they all sing the same too not to mention the lyrics are pathetic...I can listen to banda, cumbia, but that genre is just in bad taste
@@antonymscalia3924 as a musician who's touched multiple genres, la musica Regional, I'd say is anything but an embarrassment, there have been world class musicians out of mexico, one legend is Ariel Camacho, and you cannot tell me his style of playing guitar didnt sound like the sound of fucking Angels
@@MrKeefster that kinda attitude is the reason your country is the way it is
Id rather listen to chalino, los originales de san juan, and saul viera!
Eso! Komander is a poser! He claims, but nah not like Chalino!
Well said, well said.. 🍻
Who?
@@crimson0489 he or she probably from California those Mexicans over there are fuckin weird
503snowman503 keep listing to dead niggas
Sounds so whimsical yet the lyrics are violent AF
VICE camera guys and editors! Congratulations you did a great job. I love your work. Cheers from Southern California and Baja Mexico.
CHALINO SANCHEZ WAS A FUCKING LEGEND TO THE MEXICAN COMMUNITY. HIS STORY TELLING LYRICS ARE ONE OF THE BEST.
HE IS A LITERAL GOD
Yeah rip chalino Sanchez
No
@@alejandroramoscadena9431 goofy
2pac of Corridos music!
It's SO funny when people complain about the narco killings then they go ahead and play these songs about murder and drug cartels. They don't see they are spreading the ignorance.
Edward Alvarez word my brotha
Edward Alvarez THAT'S WHAT IM SAYING!
Edward Alvarez
They know and they do see. A brotha gotta get attention some way or another.
hahaha so true
shut up if u dont like the music then why tf ur all over it keep ur comments to yourself nobody gives a shit .
The music straight up made me crave for a Corona 😂😂😂🤷🏻♂️
No different than Americas gangsta rap , trap music . Dudes glorifying a lifestyle thats bs to the youth .
I know you might not care what im about to say but there was this one Mexican singer named
Chalino Sanchez who actually sung songs about people that were killed in Mexico and actually used there real name which evantually got him killed.
+TheBomb100 happened to many artists..
chawbok Yup may they RIP for dying from what they loved doing so they can get out of the poor life.
+straightoutofVISA Sorta like the way hip hop and rap culture expresses happenings in the U.S...music making evil trendy and cool to people. Though...note, that many sing about these things happening in their past with a hopefulness to move on and escape the "trap" of violence, hatred, and drug abuse. It all depends on how a person is singing the lyrics....glorifying the violence or mourning it...deciding to be an angry blilnded person full of hatred because of trauma or circumstances....or moving forward positively with humility.
+straightoutofVISA except gansta rap is fake.. This people are literally big cartels running the world.
Le canta don Antonio Aguilar a su padre fallecido en una canción: "el me enseño a TRABAJAR, el me enseño a ser DECENTE, el me enseño el buen camino y A VIVIR COMO LA GENTE" es una lastima que muchos padres no les enseñen estos valores a sus hijos, y no tengan el derecho de dedicarle esta hermosa canción a su progenitores.
I can't understand why people demonize this style of music. The world is not all rainbows & sunshines, its not all about love. This style of music gives you a glimpse of the Mexican underworld. Unlike other genres this one sings about the reality most people are to ignorant to accept & understand.
Que asco
Exactly!
It's still wrong? All the killing and horridness is ok?
please tell me you are native spanish speaker and actually know what these lyrics are saying
The thing is, it shouldn't be accepted because it's wrong you absolute imbecile.
Bruh half these songs people be playing them at work 💪🏽
My girlfriends dad is German and he likes mexican music because it's heavily influenced by Germany. Personally I don't really like anything that glorifies cartels.
+Brandon Herrera mexican music is heavily influenced by Germany, wut?
Yea not all genres though. I didn't even notice it until I listened to both. Both use the tuba in the same beat
+Brandon Herrera Norteña music the most.
+Brandon Herrera Hey I am German too but I also speak Spanish and I also kind of like corridos and yes you are the first person that mentions that there is a similarity between german "volksmusik" and corridos
That's pretty koo
No matter what you think of the songs, they've got some sick drumming.
CS Jones there trash broether
They ain't Neil peart that drumming sucks ass
lol I tend to still read the subtitles even though I speak and understand Spanish
Modern Mexican singers suck I love the old Mexican singers like Chalino Sanchez, Beto Quintanilla, and especially Chuy Quintanilla.
Beto Quintanilla was trash too.
Chalino is a legend
@@zepole87 callete mejor puñetas mejor vez a ver las viejas k tienes en tu playlist no pussy getting self
Did he just say Beto Quintanilla is trash 😂😂
@@zepole87 yeah grew up on beto dude is really good my dad blasted this when i was like a baby shit powerful
Dont confuese rap with narcocorridos, rap is a trend, narcocorridos is a lifestyle.
way more hardcore than rap ... all you making fun of this music ... haha i cant believe you have the balls to make fun of it ... the things these people will do to you
Ohhhhh scary. Fuckboy.
I think you have to be born into listening to it otherwise it's an acquired taste.
IT SOUNDS LIKE CLOWN MUSIC
They won't do crap.
As a Mexican I agree this music is fucking terrible!
These are like Mexican Black Rappers right? Flashing money, cars, and ass' lol
***** yo tambien hahaha and yeah u right lol
+DCM88 no ay mas mierda que una racista, y que dices de los "rappers" mexicanos que hacen la misma chingadera pero en español?
Adrian Sandoval
hahaha ya llego el primer mayate a defender a su pimp negro.
+DCM88 troll de seguro haha
+tupacleo88 Yeh, and just like rap.. the newer songs suck ass... new rap vs old rap.... this vs the old corridos. You know what Im saying
Wow vice you guys really dig deep and find the secrets to every lifestyle...
I really enjoyed that sample during the first 20 seconds of the video. Super funky.
damn mexican music is the bom i don't understand a word but it gives you the feeling to stand up and dance and laugh. much love from Morocco
I like the old corridos over the new ones
Yall dope for this
This lifestyle leads to one thing,
Fools with there head cut off.
Ya me imagino escuchando narco corridos en España xD
this music is better than any other kind of music honestly
i want the intro for the series to be an actual track!!!!
I know that was fire right
The most impressive thing in this upload were the horses in the beginning...those are fine animals.
this music is the equivalent of lil wayne, rick ross and chief keef in the states. you know how here when chief keef drops a new track all these listeners feel tough and talk about how theyre badass and stuff? well its the same in mexico just different sound
No your fuckin dumb you just ain't Mexican enough
KraveNPLUR in mexico cartels fight for territory, now music. lets talk this music. most musical bands are forced to write a song about drugs depicting actuall events but some in the other hand, other musical bands sing that they are rich lot of cars tons of girls, you know what i mean like rap. like i said before other bands are forced by a specific drug lord or cartel while the other rival gangs threathend the singers. so no matter if you sing or not you still die. i know i know this is stupid and trust me it sure is and very unfair.
No way this is better than chief keef, the others yes.
The cartels pay them to make these songs. Or threaten them
And you get shot if you play them
These corridos is basically rap but more aggressive
This music genra in Romania it's called Manele and is just like this whoaw
5:45 all my primos and fam switch to their calm white english voice in this exact same way
OMG he has really lived this stuff he raps bout! The Mexican Young Jeezy!
I think my ears just got beheaded.
I'm not even four minutes through this video and it is hard to believe that you have not mentioned Los Tucanes de Tijuana at least one time. For that, it is tough for me to be conveyed about the message this documentary is trying to explain.
In a way this is so funny, cuz the melodies and the music are so happy but the lyrics are really brutal, it's like.. Mariachi death metal, I kinda like it to be honest😂
3:35 if anyone wonders what “contras” means is “OPPS”
Kurly Boy whats the song
For Real? Jajajaja no shit
Novara YT mafia Nueva
@@steventrujillo5197 Thanks!
Messican Trap Music.
hell yeah
lmaooooo good one
"messican" Trap? Trap doesn't have a criminal background, it never had. You are refering to rap. Trap is an Electronica influenced Rap beat that is a part of the edm family.
Antoha0102 gtfo here with your Gay Edm Music i'm talking about Down south Trap Music Boa you know Wocka Flocka, Gucci Mane, Lil Boosie and yes its heavily influenced by Drugs and Crime, drugs such as Lean.
william crippington -.- Wow that is shite. "Gucci Mane". If you call EDM gay, then I don't understand how an artist named Gucci Mane doesn't strike as gay to you. All of those names you're naming are basically Rap artists using Trap instrumentals. Real Rap is 90s Rap and will remain the best Rap. All of your artists' instrumentals are influenced by "gay" mainstream EDM and you'il have to accept it.
Well thats just lovely
Dam this brings back memories ❤
The intro song😂👌🏽👌🏽
Cole Pik that shit fire
Whats the name
I always listen to Narco Corridos when I roll up on fools👍👊😎
they be puttin out straight bangers tho lowkey
They needa redo this but with the whole new generation of corridos and the influence it has on the mexican american culture
I speak Spanish and understand it but I read the subtitles 😂
Chalino Sanchez is the legendary off Mexico 💯💪🏼❤️ Rest In Peace hermano 🙏🏼💯
Where can I buy their album! the first track had me!
This was the most funny thing
"And this is the altered sinaloan movement,sleevs rolled up, got it"
Me cago de risa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😛👍👍👍🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I LOVE THE FACT THAT EVEN THO SOMETIMES THE TRANSLATION DOESN'T MAKE SENSE OR SOUNDS RIGHT IN ENGLISH. THEY STILL WROTE EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY SAYING. NO SUGAR COATING HERE.
How come this "Cartel" music sounds way different than the late Chalino Sanchez "Cartel" music? Like this sounds more upbeat. I don't like it.
There's different styles to Narco corridos. They're still some that keep the old style but most don't anymore.
Ivan Espinoza Lame, the old style ones were better. these new one sounds like... party music. I prefer the old raw feel to it.
ThatDudeJCrash yes
Mexican music is like every other genre, times change and styles change. just like rap did through out the years.
Chalino didnt really sing for the cartel mostly local gunslingers or badasses...
Imagine Mexican Cartels knowing what Drill rap was, LOL.
Narcos Mexico was spoiled for me cus I grew up listening to this type of Mexican music. I was like, oh this actor is playing this character? Oh he’s gonna die. My friends were like how do you know? And I’m like, I’m psychic.
Yo no mate a camarena
Les dijo el numero uno
Rafael Caro Quintero
What's the song in the intro?
This is the life I grew up in. Mexican music and business. We always used to sing and have huge parties at ranches. Need to have get togethers like that once this pandemic shiz is over.
El komander got interviewed. Es todo compas
3:25 what is the name of this song?
Damn, this music is too brutal for me. I can't handle it.
U could’ve got Exterminador Los tigres del norte Los tucanes de Tijuana Los huracanes del norte but they choose this guy
Windex cleaner Multi flavor right!!!
Los tucanes de Tijuana son mis favoritos
Con exterminador a media grabación ya hubiera balazera xd
never knew corridos could be so brutal.. nice
What's the music at the very beginning?
Like before the Mariachi kicks in
ferrari branded clothing"???? hahahahaha
Hahahahaha
Sal Sagev Whatever, Sal Sagev.
***** A piece of shit one with total lame music.
he's talking about his lifestyle (music artist) I'm sure actually narcs and drug lords wear more expensive clothing like Louis Vuitton Burberry and Gucci and drive better cars than a Ferrari theres some narco who have lambos if you dont believe me you can always research it yourself narco lifestyle
Granny Ok first off no... you are wrong they dont have the means to import such cars or clothes so they drive stuff like camaros... and who sais a lambo is automatically better than a ferrari. Im not sure i even understand this comment
I used to think this was happy carnival music... I had a Mexican girlfriend that broke down these songs to me and I was BLOWN AWAY!!!
Facts
It sure sounds like clown music. 🤡. They (Mojodos) even wear oversized Boots 👢...chale. PURO CHICANISMO AHORA MISMO. Chicano cultura is dying, and MO is taking over. What a shame.
Oh its happy alright but mexicans always had a good relationship with violence so to speak..just look at ancient mexico.violent place
That wheelie at 0:58 is badass !
There is a big difference between a narco corrido and a corrido, not every corrido is about drugs and money.
I kept singing along to El Komander through out the whole video lmao
No estoy orgulloso de sentirme avergonzado de mi país.
Today I am not proud of be ashamed of my country.
Yo lo siento tambien yo soy de mexico
Lo mejor seria vender Sinaloa en una subasta. "Se vende estado en el noroeste de México, playa linda, música culerisima y gente de la verga buena para trabajos de agrucultura. No se incluyen mujeres porque es lo único que vale la pena".
Chato, si eres Sinaloense eso te convierte en un "mexicano nopalero" como lo has escrito, desgraciadamente para esta nación.
Adendum: Es naquisimo escribir espanglish, no lo hagas en publico.
Edgar Mendivil Eres un espécimen muy "particular". Me dueles un chingo México.
The music is upbeat and they're singing in key and everything but the lyrics are fucking brutal. I really gotta master Spanish so I can tell if the local taquerias I eat at are actually gangster joints.
Whats the opening song during the Vice credits?
Anyone else has seen ''How To Quickly Open a Chupa Chup'' in the bar next to the video you're watching for weeks?
PewDiePie hahaha god damn wanna be its sad that your such a degenerate that you have to make your name after a major youtuber
it;s like mexican country with rap lyrics!
Christiyan Georgeiev true
Christiyan Georgeiev rap lyrics??
Hell no bro lol
Rap lyrics??? You slow
You should refered that this Mexican "country" music mixed gangsta (narco) themes!!!
It's like vanilla ice joined a circus band lol
puedo ver ahora que gracias a ellos han llegado nuevos artistas como peso pluma que le dio un aire un poco nuevo se podría decir y los corridos tumbaos ahora están de moda saludos gente de Mexico.

Hey, Vice there's a good musician with legendary music that is still number 1 it is called Alma Enamorada by Chalino Sanchez he's also a Narco music artist too and he died in May 1962 he's still a legend with that music called (Alma Enamorada).
