Consejos Narcos

Brujeria's song 'Consejos Narcos' offers a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the world of drug trafficking, providing a set of rules and advice for navigating this dangerous and illicit environment. The lyrics are delivered with a sense of authority, as if the speaker is a seasoned veteran imparting wisdom to newcomers. The repeated phrases and stark contrasts between what is acceptable and what is not create a rhythmic and almost hypnotic effect, emphasizing the strict code that must be followed in this underworld.

The song's advice is blunt and pragmatic, reflecting the harsh realities of the narco lifestyle. For instance, the preference for dealing with 'güeros' (whites) over 'negros' (blacks) and the endorsement of marijuana over cocaine ('el polvo') highlight the racial and substance biases that exist within this subculture. The mention of 'la migra' (immigration authorities) and 'la chota' (police) as entities to avoid underscores the constant threat of law enforcement that looms over those involved in drug trafficking.

Cultural references, such as the use of 'sangre de perro' (dog's blood) to paint the kilos of cocaine, add a layer of macabre ritualism to the song, suggesting a blend of superstition and practicality in the narco world. The song's repetitive structure and direct language serve to drill these rules into the listener's mind, much like a mantra or a set of commandments. Brujeria, known for their provocative and politically charged music, uses 'Consejos Narcos' to shed light on the brutal and often contradictory nature of the drug trade, challenging listeners to confront the realities of this shadowy world.
