Elijah Wald - «Narcocorrido: Putovanje u glazbu oružja, droge i gerile» Znate li da Meksikanci s obje strane Rio Grandea (granice Meksika i SAD-a) u najvećem broju ne slušaju Jennifer Lopez ili Gloriju Estefan, nego Paulina Vargasa, Jefea de Jefesa i grupu Los Tigres del Norte? To su izvođači glazbenog žanra narcocorrida koji melodijom podsjeća na tugaljive mediteranske napjeve, dok tekstovi govore o surovoj borbi za preživljavanje.

Elijah Wald - Narcocorrido: Journey into the Music of Drugs, Guns and Guerilla Did you know that Mexicans on both banks of Rio Grande (border between the US and Mexico) mainly do not play Jennifer Lopez or Gloria Estefan, but Paulino Vargas, Jefe de Jefes and Los Tigros del Norte? These are the representatives of a musical genre Narcocorrido which in its melody reminds of the melancholic Mediterranean chants but tells about merciless struggle for survival.
