Review

Our man here is a Mexican drug dealer, importer, all round wise guy and family man to boot. He's got the usual dealer-hassles like snitches, police and other gang members to deal with. But he's a singer too so hopes that if it ends badly, he'll at least have protected his family and people will sing his songs in his memory.

I have no idea if Jamby El Favo is really a dealer, a gangster or just an artist singing about it. Does all seem a bit of a hard life for the character in the song anyway.

The actual singer is from Puerto Rico, has been traveling around, and doing quite well with his social media.

I wouldn't have any interest in this song normally but there was a post in a Spanish Language group that I'm on Facebook and the poster described a situation I've been in many times trying to decode music via tools like Google Translate.

So I thought I try see if I could understand what Jamby El Favo is going on about. I think I've got most of gist of it, but there maybe some parts I've missed, the lyrics are sung extremely fast and a little mumbled for me, and some of the street-talk might have other meanings, and better translations.
