Ramón Arellano is a modern corrido that feels like a short action movie set to music. Grupo Firme and Los Tucanes de Tijuana paint a larger-than-life portrait of Ramón “El Colores” Arellano, a feared figure from Sinaloa who built a 20-year reputation on courage, violence, and strict loyalty. The lyrics describe his arsenal—rifle on his shoulder, pistol at his hip, hand grenades ready—while celebrating the cold confidence that made rivals tremble. Listeners hear about his love for norteño music, women, and fast gunplay, as well as how he settled scores “Italian-style,” hinting at mafia methods along the Mexican-U.S. border.
Musically, the upbeat horns and guitars invite you to dance, but the story underneath is a cautionary tale of power, respect, and the high price of living by the gun. By the end, the song leaves you impressed by Ramón’s fearlessness yet aware of the dark world he ruled—a hallmark of the narcocorrido tradition that mixes thrilling bravado with stark reality.
