Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Corrido del X / Corrido del Tolin – En Vivo” by Primera Generacion
“Corrido del X / Corrido del Tolin – En Vivo” by Primera Generacion released in 2017-01-25 is a popular Mexican corrido that recounts the story of “X” (likely Francisco “Tolin” Esparza Soto) and his fight against injustice. The song speaks of how X witnessed many injustices and wrongdoings, such as the wrongful imprisonment of his cousin for cattle rustling. Unable to accept their fate and unwilling to look away, X takes up arms to seek justice for his cousin. Although X goes up against overwhelming odds, and matters seem to go against his will, the song emboldens the listener to take a stand and fight for what is right – no matter the cost.
