In this paper the topic of implicit gender violence in Mexican song and its dissemination through radio addresses. It is an approach to the devastation of the human dignity of women by songwriters that have softened the aggression for free broadcasting. From oldies to present day, composers, interpreters and communicators, in full government complacency and a close relationship with a male training, have created and disseminated androcentrism music and have sold a premise: women are not worthy of man. It is part of feminist positions; history of radio as a social phenomenon, the forgotten law; music as an element of socialization to reach a point of agreement: remove broadcasting any kind of violence against women.
