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. "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 queer") The group won a Latin Grammy for the colorful rotoscoped video in the field of Best Short Form Music Video.
The song was extremely controversial on both sides of the border.
