El Guacho

Los Tucanes de Tijuana's song "El Guacho" paints a vivid picture of a man named Primitivo, who is both feared and respected in his community. Known by various nicknames such as 'El Fantasma' (The Ghost) and 'El Wacho' (The Soldier), Primitivo's presence is felt everywhere, hinting at his omnipresence and influence. The song delves into his dual life, where he is both a former soldier and a powerful figure in the underworld, managing to smuggle 25 tons of fine powder to his clients in Los Angeles in just one month. This feat earned him a month named after him, showcasing his legendary status.

Primitivo's wealth is another focal point of the song. He is depicted as a man with vast amounts of money, buried and stored in sacks, which he uses to help everyone, including police officers and judicial authorities. This generosity ensures that he is surrounded by friends wherever he goes, highlighting the theme of power through wealth and influence. His response to police inquiries about his wealth, claiming it as his grandfather's inheritance and offering his services as a plumber, adds a layer of cunning and wit to his character.

The song also touches on Primitivo's personal life, portraying him as a womanizer with a particular weakness for young, blonde women. His boldness in 'stealing' three women a year during his first visit underscores his audacious and fearless nature. Born in Durango, a place known for its brave people, Primitivo's courage and readiness to handle his affairs with a gun are emphasized. The song concludes with a tribute to Primitivo, acknowledging him as a great friend who will always be remembered, cementing his legacy in the annals of his community's history.
