- Los gallos valientes: examining violence in mexican popular music Helena Simonett Arte Narco-music (narcomúsica, a type of Mexican music related to drug trafficking ortraffickers) is a fast-growing business, notably in the United States where bigmusic corporations are signing promising narco-bands and where GrammyAwards officially recognize and validate this new kind of popular music. At theheart of this essay lies the complex problem of how popular culture is redefiningand mystifying the persona of the outlaw, which, with the help of the massmedia, turns into a role model for many youths. Though fiercely contested, narcomusicis a cultural commodity that succumbs to the hegemonic power of theculture industry. This music, thus, cannot be understood properly outside thewider power relations in which it is embedded and that nourish its growth. 2006 artículo científico 1697-0101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=82201008 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=822 Trans.
