"HEARST" for Borderland Beat
An Army (SEDENA) soldier wrote and performed a song dedicated to all of his fellow soldiers who participated in the arrest of Sinaloa Cartel’s Francisco Torres Carranza, alias “El Duranguillo”.
The song gives special honors given to a comrade of his who died in the confrontation with Duranguillo’s hitmen from Gente Nueva de Altar. Duranguillo is alleged to be the brother of Gente Nueva de Altar’s former head of hitmen, José Bibiano Cabrera Cabrera, alias “El Durango”.
For more details about the 15 soldiers and the battle they endured while trying to arrest El Duranguillo, please see this previous story.
A video of a soldier performing the song is being shared on social media. It was reportedly recorded in Sonora, at the Training Center of the Second Military Region.

The soldier begins by saying "Today I want to share with you a song composed in recognition of some of my colleagues, who last month brought praise and recognition to the name of the Mexican Army. It's also in honor of a fallen comrade who died in that confrontation.”
Some of the lyrics of his song go:
"Once again the Mexican Army
showed what they are made of,
I pay my respects to them.
On patrol in Altar, Sonora, the infantry troops
detained a hitman from that area,
they were unlucky that day,
Who would have thought?
Then, armed men arrived to rescue their boss,
They offered him 10 million pesos to release him
they proposed this to the lieutenant and his men
The Lieutenant answered them
‘I'm not going to release anyone
We're all going to die here,
there's no other way’
After a while, more and more soldiers arrived as reinforcements,
and after the first bullets flew, the hitmen were seen less and less
as they began to run away.
Not even with a lot of people,
not even 10 million pesos was enough for
Them to let ‘the good one’ go.
Know that the loyalty of a good Mexican soldier is priceless…
my respects to the troops of that day
who put very high the loyalty,
the courage of the Mexican Army and the soldier".
Although the fact floods us with pride,
it floods our hearts with emotion,
because we lost the life of a comrade
in that confrontation, a sergeant".
How it hurts to see a dead comrade,
because they work,
ready to give their lives to take care of our people,
because they too are a part of the people."

ReplyDeleteNice now let’s make a corridor about all the corruption in the Mexican military. I’d love to sing about the us involvement in everything as well. Thanks
ReplyDeleteShurrup miserable arse
Delete3:52 you are wrong there.
Delete12:52 is saying nothing but the truth about the real truth.
3:52 wake the fack up and learn to handle the truth, the mexican army is full of motherfucking peacocks too spoiled to hear about their beloved institution and brothers at arms crimes, but they will be hearing about them more and more and more
DeleteWhether it's true or not, why try to take away what these men, these mexican soldiers did. You could talk about that issue somewhere else. It doesn't have to be here on this story's comment section. This is about how soldiers fulfilled their duty, and though outnumbered and surrounded and turning down bribe money that would have set them up for life, they acted with courage and honor and not only turned down the money, told them that they were all going to die, "there's no other way!!!" They literally put their lives on the line when they didn't have and were even attempted to besweetly pursuaded
Delete*attempted to be sweetly pursuaded, but they honored their uniform and filled their country with pride. They actually put it all on the line and backed it with actions how a true mexican soldier is supposed to act. The best you critics could do is try to take away from something positive and try to smear it with your negativity. If it actually mattered to you critics you would try to build on it instead of trying to shut it down . But that's how little men function. They don't want anyone to shine cause they feel threatened and their miserable lives wouldn't be the same if everyone was shining but them. No one would pay them no mind witch is exactly how most of their lives had been till they discovered negativity. They just haven't realized most people do not like being around negativity and the attention they receive is for the wrong reasons
DeleteTengo unas ganas de unos pinches tacos bien enchilosos! Nomas que sin tortilla ni salsa ni carne, nomas las Caguanas
ReplyDeleteVery good corrido
ReplyDeleteHe got down for real. A legend in the making
ReplyDeletethey knew they weren’t dealing with big heads, they distracted them so back up would arrive
ReplyDeleteWhat distraction? These soldiers didn't distract anyone to wait for backup, 15 soldiers surrounded on all sides by 60 sicarios at close range. It was the sicarios who kept making time, yelling at the soldiers to stand down yet it was the soldiers' sergeant that said they were ready to die. It was the 15 soldiers who chose the bullets, and it was the 60 sicarios that after acting all though and as if they're in control, ended up running away.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said👍
DeleteNice song but that's what they signed up for nobody forced them to join the army so do a good job and get rid of the trash which will take forever but anything counts one less to worry about.
ReplyDeleteMexico requires it's males to serve 2 years in the military. Not all soldiers are volunteers.
DeleteChingón. Tiene futuro en la música.
