La Plebada Del 8

The song 'La Plebada Del 8' by Clase Personal is a narco-corrido, a genre of Mexican music that often tells stories about the lives of people involved in drug trafficking. The lyrics describe the operations and lifestyle of a group in Sonora, Mexico, who are loyal to their leader, referred to as 'El 08'. The song speaks to the group's readiness to act on the boss's orders, their vigilance, and their encounters with law enforcement, such as 'poliguachos' (police) or 'marinos' (marines).

The song also portrays a sense of pride and camaraderie among the members, who are well-armed and celebrate their successes with parties, expensive whiskey, and music. They claim respect for their 'flag', which could be interpreted as their organization or cause. The lyrics mention their control over the area, their alertness to the movements across the U.S. border ('la gringada'), and their presence in various towns like Caborca and Altar.

Lastly, the song extends greetings to their 'clica' (crew) and expresses a willingness to assist if needed. It emphasizes the group's commitment to their work and their readiness to respond to any problems. The repeated line 'El 8 sigue rifando' suggests that their leader remains powerful and influential. The song, therefore, is a narrative that glorifies the lifestyle and power of a criminal organization, a common theme in narco-corridos.
