Los Collares (part. El Padrinito Toys)

Oscar Maydon's 'Los Collares' is a song that delves into themes of power, protection, and hedonism. The lyrics, which are delivered with a sense of bravado, paint a picture of a lifestyle that is both lavish and risky. The song's title, 'Los Collares,' which translates to 'The Necklaces,' could be a reference to spiritual protection often sought through the wearing of amulets or religious symbols. This is supported by the line 'Ay, qu� santa protecci�n,' suggesting that the protagonist is seeking divine safeguarding in a dangerous world.

The song's narrative is set against a backdrop of clandestine parties and a life of excess. The protagonist boasts about his wealth, his indifference to the multitude of women he encounters, and his preference for living life on the edge. The mention of 'antro malandro' and 'm�sica del infierno' suggests a setting that is both underground and possibly morally ambiguous. The repeated lines 'Quien me cuida no duerme' imply that the protagonist believes he is under constant watch, either by a higher power or by his own entourage, reinforcing the theme of protection.

Oscar Maydon's musical style often incorporates elements of regional Mexican music with urban influences, and 'Los Collares' is no exception. The song features traditional instruments like the requinto, which adds a distinctive sound to the track. The collaboration with El Padrinito Toys adds another layer to the song, blending voices and styles. The lyrics reflect a culture that values boldness and resilience, with references to enjoying life's pleasures while being aware of its fleeting nature, as highlighted in the advice given by 'El padrino Leo' to 'c�mete al mundo' (devour the world) because 'la vida se va en un segundo' (life goes by in a second).
