Social Status Counts

By Jorge Verdin on 26 January 2016 in VIDEO

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.»
