Among their greatest hits -after their Three Souls era- "Triste Cancion" (based on Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane"), "Metro Balderas" (originally by Rodrigo Gonzalez), and "Piedras Rodantes" are probably the most known and have the quality of Anthems. Favorite bluesy songs such as "Oye Cantinero" and "ADO" belong to their Three Souls era, but are included in compilations and newer versions (from live concert recordings) abound.
La Raza Más Chida
El Tri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Estamos hechos de la mezcla del tequila y el mezcal
Somos los únicos capaces de reírnos de nuestras desgracia
Nuestro país tiene la forma del cuerno de la abundancia
Y en todo el mundo no hay nada igual
No existe en todo el mundo nada igual
Estamos hechos de la mezcla del tequila y el mezcal
Somos la raza mas chida
In the song "La Raza Más Chida," El Tri celebrates the uniqueness of Mexican people. The lyrics suggest that Mexicans are made of a special fiber that comes from a mix of tequila and mezcal, two iconic alcoholic beverages of Mexico. This mixture embodies the duality of Mexican culture: traditional and modern, rural and urban. Mexicans are able to laugh in the face of adversity, finding humor even in their own misfortunes. The country, symbolized as the horn of plenty or cornucopia, is rich in resources and diversity, making it unmatched worldwide.
The anthem proclaims that Mexicans are the coolest race, not just in Mexico, but in the whole animal kingdom. This speaks to the pride that Mexicans have for their culture, history, arts, and traditions. The phrase "la raza" doesn't just refer to race in a biological sense, but to a collective identity created by shared experiences, struggles, and achievements. The song is a celebration of Mexicaness as something to be proud of, something to embrace, and something that makes them unique in the world.
Overall, "La Raza Más Chida" is a call for Mexicans to recognize the value of their heritage, to celebrate their culture, and to be proud of who they are.
