Narco-Corrido: Gangsta Rap Music With A Mexican Flavor

TIJUANA, MEXICO - OCTOBER 23: Augustin Cardoso, the singer of the Narco-Corrido band, Los Capos, checks his costume in a bathroom at the Las Pulgas club before a concert October 23, 2003 in Tijuana, Mexico. Los Capos always begins its concerts with the deafening sounds of helicopters flying overhead and AK-47s being fired, holding their guitars like machine guns. Narco-Corrido bands, a genre of music that includes a mix of crude lyrics about Mexican drug dealers, their exploits and traditional Mexican music, are hugely popular and banned from being played on the radio in several Mexican states.
