Overall Meaning

The song "El Voceador" by El Tri tells the story of a street vendor known as "voceador" who rides his bike through the city streets spreading the news of the day and informing people through the written word. In the first verse, the song sets the scene with the repeated chorus line, "Extra extra entérese de todo, extra extra grita el voceador" which means "Extra, extra, find out everything, extra, extra, shouts the street vendor." The lyrics go on to describe how the voceador works tirelessly, rain or shine, in order to deliver the freshest news to people before sunrise.

The second verse speaks to the importance of the voceador's work as an integral part of the city's culture. The chorus is repeated again, and we learn that his duty is not just to keep people informed but also to earn a living, chasing after cars to sell his wares to make ends meet. Finally, the song ends with a reprise of the chorus, emphasizing the significance of the voceador's role as an icon of Mexican street culture.
