Soundtrack El Cartel De Los Sapos El Origen

Okay, let's talk about something kinda controversial. I have an unpopular opinion about the soundtrack for El Cartel De Los Sapos: El Origen. Get ready for it!

Seriously, Is It Just Me?

Don't get me wrong. The show itself is gripping. The drama! The tension! But the music? Sometimes it feels…a little off.

Like, imagine watching a super intense scene with explosions and whispered betrayals. Then suddenly BAM! Generic reggaeton beat. It's like, "Wait, what?"

The Missed Opportunity

I feel like they missed a golden opportunity. They could've created a soundtrack that was truly *iconic*. Something that really captured the era.

Think about it: 1970s Colombia! Salsa, cumbia, boleros! The possibilities were endless! Instead, we get a lot of…well, modern sounds.

It's not *bad* music, per se. It just doesn't always *fit*.

It's Like Putting Ketchup on Paella

Hear me out. I love ketchup. I love paella. But together? Absolutely not.

That's kind of how I feel about some of the musical choices. Good music, but wrong context. It clashes with the setting, you know?

Like hearing dubstep at a historical reenactment. Fun, but ultimately distracting.

Maybe I'm Just Old-Fashioned

Look, maybe I'm just showing my age. Perhaps my musical tastes are hopelessly outdated. It's possible!

Maybe I'm yearning for a soundtrack filled with Joe Arroyo and Fruko y Sus Tesos. Pure, unadulterated Colombian musical legends.

But hey, a guy can dream, right?

Don't Get Me Wrong, I Still Watch

Let's be clear: I still binge-watch El Cartel De Los Sapos: El Origen. The story sucks me in every time.

The acting is superb. The plot twists are delicious. I am truly hooked.

I just wish the music was as consistently amazing as the rest of the show.

My Soundtrack Wish List

If *I* were in charge of the soundtrack? Oh boy, watch out!

We'd have classic salsa tracks that make you want to dance, even while people are getting shot. Imagine Héctor Lavoe serenading a tense drug deal.

And some haunting boleros to underscore the betrayal and heartbreak. Think of the dramatic possibilities!

Ultimately, It's Subjective

Of course, music is subjective. What I dislike, you might adore. That's the beauty of art!

Maybe you think the modern soundtrack adds a cool, edgy vibe. And you know what? That's totally valid.

I'm just putting my unpopular opinion out there into the universe. Hopefully, I'm not alone.

Let's Agree to Disagree (Maybe?)

So, what do you think? Am I completely off base? Or do you secretly agree with me?

Are there moments in the show where you find yourself thinking, "Hmm, that song doesn't quite work?" Let me know!

At the very least, we can all agree that El Cartel De Los Sapos: El Origen is a wild ride, soundtrack or no soundtrack!

Just remember, even Pepe Cadena had questionable taste sometimes.

Maybe it's intentional to depict the era.
