Songs about these people are the focus of an “altered movement” that influenced the genre of tumbado. A song titled for “Betrayal” about Camelia, who is one of these people, and her lover Emilio Varela was an early hit for Los Tigres Del Norte. That song indirectly inspired a TV show about Teresa Mendoza’s journey to become one of these people, Queen of the South. (*) Chalino Sánchez specialized in a type of song about these people, common in norteño music, that is a popular subgenre of corrido. The songs “PRC” and “AMG” by Natanael Cano and Peso Pluma focus on this profession. In a Jacques Audiard film, Zoe Saldaña sings “El Mal” with a transgender former member of this profession played by Karla Sofía Gascón. For 10 points, name this former profession of Emilia Pérez in a 2024 film. ■END■
