Recording for Fonovisa starting in late 1994 or early 1995, the group has prided itself on its use of raw, street-level lyrics and a gritty musical approach. Felipe and José Meza are the primary authors of the group's repertoire, comfortable in many styles, writing cumbias, corridos, rancheras, boleros, and more. Los Inquietos have released nearly ten albums in as many years. Living in Mexico and Nebraska and Michigan and northern California (north of San Francisco), they have earned a large fan base both on their native soil and in the States. Touring regularly throughout Nebraska, Michigan, California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Nevada, and Illinois, playing for festivals and in dancehalls, the group is well known among U.S. fans of Mexican music. Radio hits like "Sin Ti," "La Angustia," and "Ya No Puedo Vivir sin Ti" have established Los Inquietos del Norte as important players in a rapidly growing genre. They formed in 1968 by before they were famous.

LOS HUACHES
Los Inquietos Del Norte Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

CRISTAL, MOTA , COCA y CHIVA
De Michoacan pa' los gringos
De Nueva Italia de Uruapan
La Manga y Apatzingan
La Huacana y Turicato
Popuro y mi Zicuiran.

Michoacan como has crecido

Por tus hombres de valor
Ahi nacen huaches finos
Y que les sobra el valor
Pa' traficar con las drogas
Sin tener ningun temor.

Puro huache con agallas
Que no se saben rajar
No le temen ni a la muerte
Menos a la federal
Y en los Estados Unidos
Son cabrones de verdad.

CRISTAL,MOTA, COCA y CHIVA
De Michoacan pa' los gringos
De Nueva Italia de Uruapan
La Manga y Apatzingan
La Huacana y Turicato
Popuro y mi Zicuiran.

Pura trocona del año
En estos ranchos veras
Con puro huache pesado
Que no se saben rajar
Y que si les haces bulla
Al panteon te mandaran.
CRISTAL, MOTA, COCA y CHIVA
De Michoacan pa' los gringos
De Nueva Italia de Uruapan
La Manga y Apatzingan

La Huacana y Turicato
Popuro y mi Zicuiran

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Los Inquietos Del Norte's song "Los Huaches" are odes to the drug trade originating from the Mexican state of Michoacan. The opening lines mention various types of drugs – CRISTAL, MOTA, COCA, and CHIVA – and how they are transported from Michoacan to the United States. The subsequent lines mention various towns and cities within Michoacan, praising the region for its "huaches finos" – brave men who are not afraid to traffic drugs into the US.

The chorus repeats the list of drugs and places featured in the opening lines, emphasizing their continued distribution from Michoacan to the US. The second verse reinforces the message of the first, stating that Michoacan's success is due to its "hombres de valor" who are unafraid to traffic drugs and face the police and government agencies. The song then circles back to praise the "puro huache con agallas" – fearless drug traffickers who are not scared of death, police or the US authorities.
