The Dark World of 'La Retro Del Ondeado'
Fundillo Norteño's song 'La Retro Del Ondeado' delves into the grim and violent world of organized crime. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a character named Manuel, also known as 'Ondeado,' who is deeply entrenched in the brutal activities of a cartel. The song opens with a chilling scene where Manuel is seen digging, not for water, but to bury his victims. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the macabre and ruthless nature of his actions.
The song describes Manuel's methodical approach to torture and murder, using a backhoe ('retro') to crush his enemies after extracting information from them. The imagery of a line of enemies on the ground, waiting to be crushed, underscores the cold-blooded efficiency with which Manuel operates. The lyrics also mention the sounds of the day, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the narrative. The mutilation and decapitation of bodies further emphasize the gruesome reality of his world.
Manuel's allegiance to powerful figures like Guzman and Zambada, and his association with elite groups like 'Los Antrax,' positions him as a significant player in the cartel's operations. The song portrays him as a demonized figure who finds pleasure in his violent acts, to the point where it becomes his new pastime. The final lines reveal the depth of his depravity, as he claims to have created his own hell, instilling fear even in the devil. This portrayal of Manuel as a fearsome and almost supernatural figure highlights the terror he instills in his enemies and the extent of his brutality.
