Available until 04/02/2027 In Mexico, the Narco-corridos, these musicians who sing in praise of the cartels and praise drug culture, are enjoying resounding success, undermining the authorities who are trying to ban them. Accompanied by catchy guitar notes, the lyrics of the narco-corridos tell of the exploits of the sicarios, these henchmen of the cartels and the luxurious life led by their sponsors. The songs evoke drug money, violence and the law of silence or even the rejection of all government institutions. While the State has failed for decades to improve the living conditions and security of Mexicans, these songs, popular with young people, resonate with a large part of the population. They also bear witness to the growing influence of organized crime in all spheres of Mexican society.
