The Cartel de Sinaloa Venerate Their Dead

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat 

For Spanish music aficionados, the instantly recognizable chords to ‘Cruzando Cerros y Arroyos’ begins just as a Cessna prepares to fly off into the horizon. 

The infamous song narrates a man’s love for a woman as he roams towards her across a countryside dotted with hills and streams. 

Although the chorus centers on a love interest, the trio of musicians performs it as a homage to a fallen Cartel de Sinaloa member. 

A panoramic view of the area shows that everyone gathered here is attending his funeral. Who he was and where he actually ranked within the hierarchy is unknown. The CDS source who sent it in kept all those intimate details private.
