Narcco Corridos Effect On Mexican Culture

Decent Essays
Narco Corridos is affecting both Mexican and American culture although it affects one of them more than the other. Hispanics that come for a better future to the United States usually feel different from others that speak another language and feel left out. When they listen to narco corridos they feel identified not only because it’s the same language they speak but because narco corridos singers make it seem that everything they say should be okay. On the other side Hispanics that live in mexico get more affected by narco corridos because usually they live in worse conditions and do not have opportunities like people that live in the united states so they wish they had money and think that they don’t have a way to get out of the way they live
