Get Your Party Started with the Hottest Corridos Verdes Playlist featuring Legado 7, T3R Elemento, and Peso Pluma!
April 20th, also known as 4/20, is a day synonymous with lighting up and celebrating cannabis culture. In honor of this unofficial holiday, Billboard Español has put together the perfect playlist for the occasion called Corridos Verdes, or Weed Corridos.
In the mid-2010s, a new strain of corridos verdes emerged, painting the town green. This subgenre has found a special place in the hearts and playlists of enthusiasts, originating from the cultural landscapes of California and Northern Mexico. Its rise coincided with the legalization of recreational marijuana in California in 2016.
The exact origins of corridos verdes may be uncertain, like the smoke in a cantina, but its modern evolution can be traced back to the pioneering efforts of Legado 7. Their rhymes and rhythms planted the seeds for this genre which has now attracted other notable figures such as El Komander, Omar Ruiz, and Lenin Ramirez. Together, they have infused their music with the essence of marijuana culture and a rebellious spirit.
Corridos verdes, like a well-rolled joint, blend traditional storytelling with tales of weed adventures. Songs like Peso Pluma’s “La Pluma de Wax,” Natanael Cano’s “Sour Diesel,” and Los Hijos de GarcĂa’s “JardĂn Verde” are filled with wordplay and clever euphemisms that celebrate the highs and lows of marijuana culture.
As we gear up to celebrate 4/20, a global holiday for cannabis enthusiasts, let’s raise our headphones to the sky and indulge in the ultimate corridos verdes playlist. From Legado 7’s pioneering tracks to T3R Elemento’s green-trip anthems, these songs promise to take your musical experience to new heights, leaving you feeling relaxed and uplifted.
