Adriel Favela y Javier Rosas are two of Mexico’s rising stars within the narcocorrido genre. Just like American gangster rap—and heavy metal before that—the music, which centers around stories of cartel life, has drawn plenty of hand-wringing from the authorities. It’s also spawned real-life violence. Back in 2015, Rosas was the victim of a drive-by shooting in Culiacán, home to the Sinaloa drug cartel. Despite taking a number of bullets, he survived and is now on tour with Favela. Together, they teamed on a 2018 hit, “La Escuela No Me Gustó,” which combines elements of banda, furious and infectious Spanish guitar picking and gangland lyrics.Favela y Rosas
