Alfredo Beltrán

The song "Alfredo Beltrán" by Banda MS de Sergio Lizárraga is a narrative corrido, a traditional Mexican genre that often tells the stories of notable figures in the context of the drug trade and their exploits. The lyrics paint a picture of Alfredo Beltrán, presumably Alfredo Beltrán Leyva, a known figure in the Mexican drug cartels, highlighting his characteristics and the respect he commands among his people.

The song begins by describing Beltrán's commanding presence and his role as a leader. The mention of 'mochomos,' which can refer to a type of ant known for its hard work, suggests his followers are industrious and loyal. The lyrics also touch on the harsh realities of their lifestyle, where they must constantly be on the move, evading the heat of law enforcement. The song portrays Beltrán as a complex figure, respected and generous to his allies, yet ruthless to his enemies.

The latter part of the song references specific codes and locations, which could be interpreted as communication within the cartel. The numbers mentioned (32, 36, 7, 20, 100, 27) might be code for people, places, or events significant within the context of their operations. The song ends with a nod to various Mexican locales, each associated with different aspects of life, from warfare to relaxation, further emphasizing the reach and influence of Beltrán's operations.
