Dos Celulares

The song 'Dos Celulares' by Los Canelos de Durango delves into the narrative of a clandestine operation, likely involving drug trafficking, as suggested by the lyrics. The title, which translates to 'Two Cellphones,' hints at the minimalistic and discreet communication tools used in such illicit activities. The song opens with a meeting set at a specific time, indicating a planned 'tranza' or deal. The mention of 'tranza' and the context suggest that this is not a legal transaction. The characters involved are described as calm and not needing weapons, which could imply a level of confidence or professionalism in their illegal endeavors.

The lyrics proceed to describe the casual nature of the operation, with beer and a hidden 'bolsita' or small bag, which is humorously referred to as 'vitaminas' or vitamins, a likely euphemism for drugs. The 'costales' or sacks that they plan to take to the city further support the idea of drug trafficking. The song continues to follow the journey of the contraband, mentioning a call from Tijuana, a city known for being a drug trafficking route, and the use of 'kilos de almudadas' as makeshift beds, indicating the rough conditions of the smugglers' environment.

Finally, the song concludes with a successful crossing of the 'línea' or border, and the promise of payment the following morning. The narrative is a stark portrayal of the drug trade, highlighting the routine nature of such transactions for those involved. It's a glimpse into a world where the risk of getting caught is part of everyday life, and the use of technology, even as simple as two cellphones, is central to coordinating these illegal activities.
