"Frijolero" is a song from Molotov's 2003 record Dance and Dense Denso. Its lyrics comprise an exchange where characters trade racially loaded barbs at the Mexico–US border.[1] "Frijolero" is a facetious calque of "beaner", an insulting American English term for a Mexican; the American character is described as "pinche gringo puñetero" (roughly, "fucking gringo wanker").
The group won a Latin Grammy for the colorful rotoscoped video in the field of Best Short Form Music Video. The music video was animated by the American studio Film Roman, directed by Paul Beck and Jason Archer and produced by Kathee Schneider and John Hyde. The video was created using software created by Texas-based computer artist Bob Sabiston.[2]
The song is featured in the soundtrack of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's movie Los Chidos, released in 2012.
