Edgar Guzman

The song 'Edgar Guzman' by Enigma Norteño is a poignant corrido that narrates the tragic events surrounding the death of Edgar Guzman, the son of the infamous drug lord Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán. The lyrics recount a harrowing incident in a commercial plaza where Edgar, along with Arturo and Cesar, were killed. The song is imbued with sorrow and grief, reflecting the pain and loss felt by Edgar's family and community. The use of powerful imagery, such as 'cuerno de chivo y bazuka' (AK-47 and bazooka), underscores the violent nature of the attack and the unexpectedness of the tragedy.

The song also delves into the emotional aftermath of Edgar's death. It paints a vivid picture of a paralyzed Culiacán, a city in mourning, and a family deeply saddened by the loss. The reference to 'el señor de la montaña' (the lord of the mountain) crying for Edgar's departure highlights the profound impact of his death on his father, El Chapo. The lyrics suggest a sense of helplessness and inevitability, as the family and community grapple with the sudden and violent loss of a loved one.

In the latter part of the song, Edgar's voice is imagined, expressing his longing for his homeland and the life he once had. He speaks of missing his ranch, his beloved Culiacán, and his airplanes, which he can no longer fly. Despite the tragedy, there is a sense of resilience and care as Edgar assures his wife and son that he will watch over them from above. The song concludes with a message to his brothers, Ivan Archivaldo and Alfredo, urging them not to cry, reflecting a desire for strength and continuity amidst the sorrow.
