EL KARMA spins a gritty tale straight from the heart of Mexico’s narcocorrido tradition. The narrator begins in Aguascalientes, then heads north to Culiacán, where quick money in drug trafficking promises a road to “progreso.” Success comes fast, but danger comes faster: rivals attempt a brutal, lightning-quick kidnapping of his daughters. Filled with rage, he hunts the culprits, barges through doors, and opens fire in a showdown worthy of an action film. Yet destiny has the last word; an R-15 rifle answers his pistol, and the once-fearless trafficker falls.
The chorus idea, “El karma viene y se va,” reminds listeners that every violent act circles back. No one, not even the most powerful, can dodge the Grim Reaper. Through raw lyrics, Ariel Camacho delivers a cautionary story about ambition, family, revenge, and the inevitable payback that follows a life on the wrong side of the law—wrapped in the haunting, signature sound of Regional Mexican music.
