Corrido Del Alambrista - Los Palillos Con El Conjunto Norteño

Corrido Del Alambrista
de Los Palillos

Song tells about immigrating to the United States in search of a better life. This is the first example of the term “Espalda Mojada” I’ve encountered in a song. This refers to crossing the border illegally, literally translated is “Wetback” a derogatory term used to describe undocumented immigrants from Mexico and South America.
