The Mexican drugs cartels have always taken a brand style of promotional propaganda in their names and symbols to set them apart from other criminal organizations and to make their presence known in the plazas they control or dispute.
Most of the loyal readers of Borderland Beat who follow the drug cartel saga are familiar with the norm of the Mexican drug cartel evolution and the narco culture that permeates through the music, movies and novelas (soap operas) and have become the identity meant to symbolize power and fear in the battle for plaza ownership in Mexico.
For example, any top capo that is anybody will have his 45 pistol or AK-47 gold plated with his insignia on it.
This video represents some of that narco propaganda that identifies some of the most well-known drug cartels. The video is somewhat long but worth a view to get some sense of the uniforms and insignia of the Mexican narco culture.

They forgot Malverde in the video, SACRILEGE!!! all this narco imagery is pretty funny and surreal, that love for gold, guns and brand names, but the malverde thing beats everything else, saint chayo is a pretty crazy thing too but just a mickey mouse version of malverde
ReplyDeleteThats a old video from the zetas and at one time they were a friction. call rojos .cyclones. but they were zetas.
DeleteIt´s funny how the last corrido, the one from Los Zetas use a recording from radio transmissions done by Los Rojos from CDG.
ReplyDeleteIDIOT,ZETAS WERE CARTEL DEL GOLFO!!!!!!!!THAT SONG WAS MADE AROUND THAT TIME..PENDEJO,Y ARRIBA EL GOLFO!!
DeletePuro pinche beto quintanilla!!!! Arriba los lobos de laredo low metros n los rojos! XXX CDG OVER N OUT
DeleteArriba tu Golfa madre.
DeleteLol saint chayo..micky mouse edition of malverde.lmao
ReplyDeleteGreat video, I hadn´t seen most of the images, and yes, Malverde is missing, along with many uniforms and insignias used by other cartels, the FEDA(Fuerzas Especiales De Arturo-Arturo´s Special Forces), FEM(Fuerzas Especiales del Muletas-Muletas Special Forces), The Arellano Felix(Altough I have only seen a modified AFI logo).
ReplyDeleteI liked listening to these Corridos because the major radio stations in LA only play tunes from the Sinaloa cartel, interesting to hear what La Familia had to say.
ReplyDeleteAll of em pertty badass except los pendojos.de CT.. What a bunch of clowns
ReplyDeleteWhy do they always leave the best for last,jajaja

Las Golfas don't hire banda El Reculo from Snitchaloa for their parties, they hire Inculable from Zaputa, Texas.

ReplyDelete"publish this chivis if you dare"
Ye,ye,ye,,,more"eye opening opinions"not,,about the causes and all that(the US,s fault),we seen it all before,heard it all before.So what did you think of the video?No,the video above,no,i don't want to talk about,,,,not the US again?Can you talk about something else?
Hahaha right on, right on... good comment, glad to see somebody else thinks the same...
DeleteThe sicario at the beginning of CDG is an old picture,it is supposed to be El Torro?Wonder what happened to him,he looks a bit like Gringo Mike?
ReplyDeleteGrillonautas always does good stuff,been goin a minute as well.
The Sinaloenses started all this thrend and narco culture everyone else copied them hater especially lthe michoacacas
ReplyDeleteReally wow I can't believe u just said that lol u must be a kid. Mijo know your history Nuevo Leon & Tamaulipas people started it long long time ago back when are grandparents where teens.
DeleteFor fuckin info I'm from chihuas n I knw for a fact bak then when the familia was together they wher the most organized cartel the ones that made the decapitasiones n beheadings famous pendejo so shut the fuk up if yu dnt knw shit
DeleteLa famillia Ni duro mucho operando siemlre andaban de quebre entre Ellis mismos hence saliron Los CT, y sun ASI estas invite to al que eso Los beheading de moda y empeizo a suver Los integortioros al internet due la Barbie -Edgar valdez- un Americano de echo es de Laredo Texas.
Deletehmmmm the knights templar , known originally for escorting christians from the coast of the holy land to jersualem. Were known for not taking money for their services and were the first to have a documented banking system.
ReplyDeleteThe mexican equivalent CT, known for constantly asking for cobra de piso , killing , raping , drug trafficking, coercion by bribes, burning and looting businesses from lemon growers up to multinational corporations. I fail to see any link between the two , unless the CT think escorting drug convoys is equivalent to escorting pilgrims. Perhaps taking crystal meth , leads to this sort of delusional hypocracy.
Parrandero just stop while ur ahead. Or better yet, why dont u post a video of el chapo pounding away on ur shitter. Great job guys, I found it hard to stop laughing at CT shit. Thay mixed up on couple things n also left out juarez and CAF stuff. The chayo as a saint was to much.. Puro c.d.g cavrones
ReplyDeleteThat is the worst music any human has ever came up with since the times of when dinosaurs roamed. No wonder Mexico is so fucked up! Between the sound of an accordion blasting away by a 4 foot tall fat guy that looks like a sex offender, and you guys wiping your ass and tossing the shit covered paper on the floor or in a trash can (if your lucky), your country hasn't a chance in hell. Go anywhere in the world, and only Mexico and a few places on the border, and everywhere else flushes the paper down with the rest of the crap, as it was designed to be! An the reason those few places on the border are listed, it's because the business owners grow tired of the restrooms being toxic dumps after a Mexican uses it and throws shit paper on the floor, like they are doing you a favor!
ReplyDelete@12:29am Not really that funny cause Los Zetas was once simply another faction of CDG like the Metro's the Rojo's the Cyclones the Scorpions the Zetas etc....Just imagine if Los Zetas never broke off from CDG,aye?...jajajajajajajajajaja CDS and all the other Cartels would be extinct,CDG would reign supreme without a doubt,but NO, too much infighting and its still going on in CDG,such a well respected Cartel gone to waste...being run by knuckleheads.
ReplyDeleteNo ur wrong ..that why the song says we r 20 groups. those groups all had a diffrent name yeah sure they were cdg..its just like the gangs here in the u.s like 18st but it has many clicks...thats how zetas were back in those days they were zetas but had diffrent groupes...just the rojos. cyclones .metros. scorpoines. Stay loyat to cdg.
DeleteMy uncle was rojo1 he was a zeta .he even came out on gangland for a zetas docamentry...and after the split he stay with cdg..now hes dead..and cuase off hes mistakes a lot off my family in mexico got killed..but thats how i know there was a lot off diffrent groups of los zetas..he would tell my older brother storys about how it was living that life..went he would visit every two mouths..just saying i was younger at that time and it was exiting to here story he would talk about but now i think about it and i rather work a 8 daller job before even getting in to that bullshit.

ReplyDeleteThe people that should be the happiest of México's cartels love affair with the AK-47, aka "Cuerno de Chivo" (goat horn), should be their Russian inventors. The Anatoly Kalishnikov 1947, name of the inventor and year of development, is the rifle of choice for criminal groups and guerrilla groups the world over. They tend to operate well in all kinds of weather, climates. Other nations have developed their own versions.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of going down to mexico this halloween dressed in all black wearing ZETAZ uniforms. oh, and going to reynosa.
ReplyDeleteJaja good luck keep us posted
DeleteLooks like CDG and CDS have all the Bling-bling!!! More weapons, armor and heavy artillery..everyone else can't keep up...The zetas back then were packing but not anymore.cool video.
ReplyDeleteAlso Mr. Quintanilla was on the track for the zetas.
CT are not bad. Thay help the people out. Just like parrandero dosent nutt leach on cds in his parents basement. CT are some real nice folks. Thay help the comminity by rape extorion arson and murder. There some real good folk thay are. Pinche michicacas. Why do u guys always go overboard. Like the last name n virgen in the back window. N dress rediculiuse n public. Not all r like this but a big chuck r clowns
ReplyDeleteCDG was by far number one I member iny teens in reynosa hearing how big n powerfull thay were In the osiel days. N zetas were there to protect tamps. Thay wouldnt mess with cizilians. But thr lord saw fit for the big break up so parrandero could touch his lil peepee to the thought of chapo n mayo in his pink boots n fake plastic six shooter with cheerleader skirt. All while listening to Fake ass RM. Fierro pariente lmfao pero por tu culican
ReplyDeleteMay 8, 2013 at 12:29 AM
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how you're the wrong one, lol. That recording is from Nuevo Laredo. Those rojos are actually zetas.
Oh and the video of the truck with C.D.S.(black letters) on it and 4 white looing dudes is photoshopped. Those guys are American special forces. Lmao. snitchaloa could never get guys like this on their roster. Heck, they couldn't even match the zetas with their "pelones special forces". Look how they got slaughtered in 04-06 when they tried to take the Nuevo Laredo plaza from CDG/Zetas. lulz. Chapo is never gonna own Tamaulipas, he's way over his head.

ReplyDeletei'd bet they have chinese versions which are not of the quality of russian made models...still a better gun than the AR for taking abuse
AK 47 was last produced back in 1971, the latest version is the AK 74
DeleteThats cool everybody has they own style. Chido. Been to mex a few times by road and man the scariest shit is when u see encapuchados.. ( guys with ski mask) . And the army check points at night aint no fun neither.
ReplyDeleteall the cartels aint nothing but opresors of México and like allways followed by a bunch of cheerleaders acting like ignorant litle girls. malverde was not a narco he stole from the rich but a clown compared to robinhood thats real
ReplyDeleteNot 45's all top capos got a 1911 38 super..all decked out
ReplyDeletemalverde is trash...why do people pray or believe in stupid saints that are not even real or were.. there's only one god.. Mexicans act like they're the biggest catholics ever , yet they pray to all kinds of saints.. michoacanos pray to that murder chayo. sinaloas malverde.. nd others to la Santa muerte ... Mexico is becoming more evil than good... its like the devils playground
ReplyDeletezetas and cds have the most bling.. I don't cheered for no cartel but if the zetas had smarter people as theyre leaders they would hang with cds.. those armor trucks they got are sick as fuck.. but they have dumb asses in charge.. sinaloa have smart people in they're leadership's.. just saying
ReplyDeleteYou know what's funnyd about El R1 known as kike now. Mr Mejia "R1" was a Zeta first when he was in Nuevo Laredo working for CDG then he started his Rojos CDG crew then now his CDS Rojos. But when he was a Zeta he drag one of Chapos men tie up his feet with a rope tight it up to a truck & he speeded all over NL dragging that body yelling fuck chapo & his people.

ReplyDeleteLOL Chapo's "father in law" was looking all fat and sloppy. And people are supposed to believe Chapo looks out for the poor. He didn't help his own family. He had his father in law looking like a fkn day laborer. Here's for chapo the billionaire with a heart of gold!

In a country with no economy, this is bound to happen,young kids looking upto narco who flash money and gold.wat they dnt tell them is more than likely once u join ur gonna have to kill and evntually ur gonna get killed,either by ur own guys or by the enemy who decided to torture u first and then cut u limb from limb.mexico is lost to the point of no return
