The wildly popular Mexican norteño band Los Tigres del Norte has a new song about Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez called “Corrido de un Hombre Valiente” (The Song of a Brave Man).
The song is a corrido, a traditional a Mexican musical style often used to recount the stories of legendary figures and heroes. Chávez’s corrido tells of his struggle to defeat corruption and alleviate the suffering of the Venezuelan people. Los Tigres applaud the Bolivarian movement, singing: “the elderly and the children have education and health.”
They call President Chávez “a great example and a great man,” and express hope that other countries in Latin America will follow his example.

its fake they already did a press conference about it.
From a spokesperson for Los Tigres del Norte:
“While we do not know where the song came from or who is attempting to falsely attribute it to the band, we can say with certainty that it is NOT Los Tigres del Norte that is heard on the recording. Los Tigres del Norte has no song by that title in their catalogue and has not recorded any corrido regarding Hugo Chavez”
viva la revolution. Viva Chavez
Coming from people who sing adoring Drug smugglers and other criminals, there is no surprise….
POBRE LA OPOSICIÓN DE VENEZUELA. SI UN ARTISTA SE ATREVE A ELOGIAR A HUGO CHÁVEZ O DEDICARLE UNA CANCIÓN ES VETADO DE POR VIDA. ESA ES LA FORMA YANKEE DE DESTRUIR A ALGUIEN. UTILIZANDO LOS MEDIOS DE COMUNICACIÓN, PERO GRACIAS A DIOS EL PUEBLO DEJÓ DE SER IGNORANTE.
