Mosca y Smith: Guardians of the Barrio
The song 'Mosca y Smith' by 0 Km paints a vivid picture of two heroic figures who bring justice and safety to the neighborhood of Once. The lyrics introduce Mosca and Smith as formidable characters who have earned a reputation for their bravery and effectiveness in dealing with crime. The song sets the scene in a community where fear once reigned, but thanks to these two, peace and security have been restored.
The narrative emphasizes the idea that no criminal, whether a thief, murderer, or even a foolish animal, can escape the long arm of the law represented by Mosca and Smith. This portrayal elevates them to almost mythical status, suggesting that their presence alone is enough to deter wrongdoing. The song also touches on the importance of respecting the law, as it mentions that while one might cross streets like Corrientes, crossing the law is not an option.
A significant part of the song is its celebration of unity and diversity within the community. The chorus brings together people of various ethnic backgrounds, including Bolivians, Jews, Koreans, Paraguayans, Turks, Jamaicans, and Peruvians, under the shared identity of being Argentinians. This message of inclusivity and solidarity is powerful, suggesting that despite their differences, the people of Once stand together, united by the protection and justice provided by Mosca and Smith. The song thus becomes not just a tale of heroism but also a call for communal harmony and pride in a shared national identity.
