Narco Cultura

Over deze film

For Mexicans and Latinos in the Americas, there is no music more popular today than narcocorridos. These bloodthirsty and explicit odes to the exploits of narco traffickers and drug lords of Mexico openly glorify violence, narcotics and money. Like gangsta rap in the nineties, 'Narco' is a movement threatening to burst into the mainstream. Featuring powerful footage from the front lines of the drug wars and performances from some of the hottest Narcocorrido artists (including El Komander and Buknas de Culiacan) Narco Cultura takes viewers behind the scenes of the most explosive and violent music subculture in America.

Its so true how the so called musicians make money out of others misery. If only our own people could feel just a little bit of that fear to not know if this is the day you die just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time........

really good entertaining doc about mexican drug dealer culture specifically musicians who are often paid by smugglers/kingpins to write/play songs about them (the drug kingpins/smugglers)

I have been studying modern violence in Latin America this past year and this documentary does a great job of showing the dangers of this type of narco cultura continuing to grow. There needs to be more awareness about this phenomena to help deter it's negative effects.
