In their 2014 music video «La Bala», the Mexican narcocorrido stars Los Tigres Del Norte condemn the life of crime – quite unusual for norteño musicians. Here, our author talks about the ambivalence one can see in the band’s public representation.

Another view on the anti-violence song «La Bala» by Mexican norteño stars Los Tigres Del Norte. For Jorge Verdin, this song is «toothless and tame», mainly because «it does not address the issue of poverty as one of the factors that may lead to a life of crime.»
