Gonzalo Y El R

The song 'Gonzalo Y El R' by Arley Perez is a narco-corrido, a genre of Mexican music that often tells the stories of figures within the drug trade, their lifestyles, and their ideologies. The lyrics of this song appear to be a narrative from the perspective of Gonzalo Inzunza, also known as 'El Macho Prieto,' a well-known figure in the Sinaloa cartel. The song serves as a boastful account of his power, his rise in the ranks, and his adherence to the violent codes of the cartel world.

The lyrics mention his beginnings with Vicente and the respect he has for the advice and rules he learned from 'El Macho Prieto,' another prominent cartel member. The song speaks to the violent nature of the drug trade, with references to carrying weapons like rifles, grenade launchers, and pistols. It also alludes to the idea that those who cross him or the cartel will face deadly consequences, reinforcing the ruthless reputation of the cartel's enforcers.

The song also touches on themes of loyalty and gratitude, particularly towards the Zambada family and 'El Niño,' likely references to Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada and his son. It suggests a code of honor among the cartel members and a sense of duty to pass on the knowledge and skills learned to the next generation. The repeated lines about 'bringing the same cut' and 'guaranteed work' with firearms imply a commitment to maintaining the cartel's power and influence.
