    That Mexican folk music, in the 50s and 60s, made its way to Yugoslavia, after the Yugo-Soviet Split, and a bunch of Slavic guys got SUPER into dressing like gauchos.

    It was called YuMex

    Anyway, Luigi should become a YuMex guy, it would be funny.

          there is an infamous video in YouTube about Chalino Sánchez reading a death threat during a concert, getting visibly distressed and then continuing singing as if nothing happened. He got whacked when the concert ended.

    Los Tigres del Norte is one of the more popular corridos bands, people in San Jose looooove that shit. Like thelastaxolotl said a lot of them are narcocorridos now and can be pretty brutal

    I get the gist of the lyrics from reading the subtitles, but is there a good translation?
