By now I’m an expert in hammock sleeping. 3 nights and counting!
Early this morning everyone in the house left to Progreso, Yucatan for their 2 weeks Easter holiday. Alan had to visit a retirement home but when he returned his cousin Paula and her man Carlos came by and we all went on a 6 hours ride to join the rest of the family.
Carlos is an amazing dude with lots of insights about Mexico so he gave us all great attention-grabbing discussions. Also his taste of music is something else, as he educated me on Narcocorridos, which is a type of northern Mexican music that used to be sponsored by all the big local drug dealers.
The Corrido will narrate the story of someone or a group of people.
The Narcocorrido will in turn tell the story of a specific drug dealer or his gorgeous wife from his/hers early days on the street to his/hers demise either on a graveyard or in a prison, depending on the case.
This type of music has long been banned but their past glories are all in Youtube.
On that note I’ll leave y’all with a couple of these songs:
Ciao 4 now
