Discurso sobre la migración en canciones norteñas mexicanas: “Ilegal” y “La casita”, relatos de dificultades y resiliencia.

On numerous occasions, different scientific currents have discussed human mobility, highlighting its characteristics, roots, conflicts and future perspectives. As a result, the data bank obtained from extensive field studies has provided fundamental analyzes for its understanding from the social sciences. In this academic delivery, we will try to strengthen the object of study, examining its relationship with the migrants described in the speeches of two northern Mexican songs with great popularity on the YouTube platform. Musical themes transmit symbolic discursive content that generates and distributes diverse perspectives on national and international issues. In this sense, in this article we will carry out a critical analysis of the discourses of the songs: “Ilegal” by Grupo Recluta and “La Casita” by Banda MS, which combine hundreds of millions of streams, emphasizing relevant characteristics of migration and its relationship with the daily problems of migrants, illustrating situations in which poverty, vulnerability, family separation, job insecurity, traffic dangers are present, among other complex circumstances.

Abstract

On numerous occasions, different scientific currents have discussed human mobility, highlighting its characteristics, roots, conflicts and future perspectives. As a result, the data bank obtained from extensive field studies has provided fundamental analyzes for its understanding from the social sciences. In this academic delivery, we will try to strengthen the object of study, examining its relationship with the migrants described in the speeches of two northern Mexican songs with great popularity on the YouTube platform. Musical themes transmit symbolic discursive content that generates and distributes diverse perspectives on national and international issues. In this sense, in this article we will carry out a critical analysis of the discourses of the songs: “Ilegal” by Grupo Recluta and “La Casita” by Banda MS, which combine hundreds of millions of streams, emphasizing relevant characteristics of migration and its relationship with the daily problems of migrants, illustrating situations in which poverty, vulnerability, family separation, job insecurity, traffic dangers are present, among other complex circumstances.
