Asuntos Del Barrio

Bardero$'s song 'Asuntos Del Barrio' delves deep into the gritty and often harsh realities of life in the barrio, or neighborhood. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where crime, drugs, and survival are daily concerns. The opening lines set the tone, declaring that this isn't just music—it's a form of 'droga' or drug, suggesting that their art is as potent and addictive as any substance. This metaphor underscores the intensity and rawness of their experiences and expressions.

The song continues to explore themes of loyalty and survival within a tight-knit community. The mention of 'bandidos sueltos en un pueblo chico' (bandits loose in a small town) and the assertion that 'en las ciudades grandes no abandonan los delitos' (in big cities, they don't abandon crimes) highlight the pervasive nature of criminal activity, regardless of the setting. The lyrics also touch on the consequences of betrayal, with a stark warning that anyone who reports them will face dire consequences. This reflects a code of silence and loyalty that is often prevalent in such environments.

Bardero$ also pays homage to their roots and the people of Neuquén, emphasizing a sense of pride and identity. The reference to being remembered like Gardel, a legendary figure in Argentine music, suggests a desire for lasting impact and recognition despite the chaotic and dangerous lifestyle they lead. The song's narrative is a blend of bravado and vulnerability, showcasing the duality of living in the barrio—where moments of triumph are often shadowed by the constant threat of violence and loss. The closing lines, 'Cómo los bandidos sonamos tan fresh,' encapsulate this duality, as they take pride in their ability to thrive and create amidst adversity.
