In the past we’ve been annoyed by the superabundance of Pesado’s live albums, but we’ve also appreciated their acumen for soaring melodies and male video models. Sometimes I wonder whether Adolfo Valenzuela inspired the character of Caesar Flickerman in The Hunger Games. “I think they merely see it as something forbidden and cool. “Here, it would be almost impossible for to go around toting guns,” says Valenzuela, whose company, Twiins Enterprises, has signed several new acts like El Kommander. This fact, producer Adolfo Valenzuela says, makes the songs harmless- and appealing- in the United States. They are my experiences.”īut while this may be the reality in Mexico, it isn’t the same in the United States. “I was born in Los Angeles but was raised in Mexico, and as a boy, I saw how this person or the other was killed. “I lived violence as a child,” says Hernandez, who’s also an avid reader of books about drug cartels and the drug trade. While some of the appeal may lie simply in its shock value, composer/singer Hernandez says he sings about what he knows. Hernandez says he in no way seeks to glorify that way of life.

According to Billboard‘s Leila Cobo, Hernández saw it differently:

2 is the sequel to 2009’s 16 Narco Corridos, for a time Hernández’s biggest selling album and spawner of the hit “El Baleado.” Hernández got the same rap as Movimiento Alterado: that he glorified violence by singing explicitly about the violent murders surrounding Mexican drug cartels. (Though I’m probably wrong about that, since Hernández knows his way around the internet better than I do.) Instead we have the sweet if stalkery “Vete Acostumbrando”, in which Hernández promises to show up outside your window at midnight with a banda, looking for your silhouette on the shade. No idea whether that’s true, since none of the songs seem to have found their way onto the internet yet. 2 (Fonovisa), whose psychedelic purple cover - complete with frolicking spiders and ungulates! - suggests a lyrical move from production to consumption. He’s out with a new album today, 16 Narco Corridos: Vol. Here at NorteñoBlog we’ve not yet explored the career of Larry Hernández, corridista and family man, creator of both controversial Youtube smashes and a reality show called Larrymania.
