Los Chochos

The song 'Los Chochos' by Bukanas De Culiacan is a vivid portrayal of the life and mindset of individuals involved in the narcoculture of Mexico. The lyrics are filled with references to power, respect, and the dangerous lifestyle associated with drug trafficking. The term 'chochos' is a slang term that can refer to people who are heavily involved in the drug trade, often carrying powerful weapons like the 'cuerno' (a colloquial term for the AK-47 rifle). The song opens with a call to action, urging the listener to handle the weapon carefully, indicating the seriousness and danger of their world.

The lyrics also emphasize the importance of loyalty and respect within their community. The line 'Sangre de sangre pesada, nuestra palabra es de acero' (Heavy blood, our word is steel) suggests a code of honor and the weight of their promises. The song paints a picture of a hierarchical society where respect is earned through actions and reputation. The mention of 'arrancones' (drag races) on the 'carretera 15' (Highway 15) adds to the image of a fast-paced, high-risk lifestyle.

Bukanas De Culiacan, known for their narcocorridos, use this song to highlight the duality of their existence. On one hand, they enjoy the luxuries and pleasures that come with their status, such as new trucks and parties with 'perico' (cocaine) and beer. On the other hand, they are constantly aware of the dangers and the need to maintain their position of power. The song ends with a declaration of their intelligence and strategic thinking, reinforcing their dominance in this perilous world. 'Estecali es pa pesados, pura gente inteligente' (This place is for the heavyweights, only intelligent people) encapsulates their pride and the calculated nature of their operations.
