Calibre 50 Essentials

Calibre 50 Essentials

The hyperactive quartet Calibre 50 first catapulted themselves into the grim realities of Mexico's tough streets in 2010. As raw storytellers, they spin gritty corridos of drug-lord notoriety (“Javier el de los Llanos”) while bragging of debaucherous conquests (“Callejero y Mujeriego”). But the group can also humanely portray gut-wrenching tales of immigrants' hardships in the U.S. The tuba-charged balladry and accordion-driven melodies are delivered with blood-pumping assertiveness, building the perfect crime songs with a riotous flair.
