There's probably no surprise to the idea that people who sell stuff on the streets of the Latin America are something common. I personally find it interesting how hawkers, peddlers, or however you want to call 'em are big parts of Latino culture, and so, it is interesting hearing songs about them in popular styles of music from several countries. So far I found songs from Mexico, Chile, Venezuela, and Paraguay, but I'm sure that if I dug a bit deeper I'd be able to find references to them in songs of just about every Hispanophone country. So, without further ado:
Oscar Padilla - El Tamalero (from Mexico)
Pedrito Altamiranda - El Buhonero (Panama)
Banda MS - Cacahuates Pistaches (Mexico)
Juana Fé - Callejero (Chile)
Radio Rochela - Adiós Buhonero (Venezuela)
(this last one reminds me of Saturday Night Live with its air of parody).
