El Corrido de Everardo

The song "El Corrido de Everardo" by El Komander is a narrative ballad that tells the story of Everardo, a character who has been left in a wheelchair due to gunshots, and his confrontation with a rival. The lyrics unfold as a dialogue between Everardo and the 'comandante,' revealing a tale of violence, betrayal, and the harsh realities of life as a gunman.

The corrido, a traditional Mexican music genre, often tells stories of the Mexican Revolution, drug trafficking, and the lives of outlaws. El Komander, known for his involvement in the 'Movimiento Alterado' movement, which glorifies the violent lifestyle of drug traffickers, uses this song to portray the bravado and the code of honor among criminals. The lyrics suggest that Everardo was once a feared gunman, working for powerful bosses, but now finds himself in a vulnerable position. Despite this, he maintains his pride and readiness to fight, even from his wheelchair, indicating that the violence and rivalry that defined his life continue to the end.

The song ends with a grim resolution as Everardo threatens to kill the comandante with the same gun he used in a past shootout. This reflects the endless cycle of violence and the idea that even death won't put an end to their feud. The song serves as a commentary on the consequences of a life of crime and the inescapable nature of violence within this subculture.
