The Mayor Adam Marco Quezada said that city hall will deny any permit for musicians of any group who performs music of the genre narco-corrido in Chihuahua.
"I think the narco-corridos do not contribute to the culture of children and we will prevent any of these groups who play this kind of music from performing in Chihuahua" he said.
He said the town clerk has been ordered to deny permission to groups playing this music starting from today.
He said that these are not the right times to applaud crime or celebrate criminals because people are living in a very difficult and complicated time when young people should have other choices in life.
He added that the choice to use drugs should not be presented as simply a choice of lifestyle, "because people think that drug trafficking is a way to be successful in life but they are wrong," he said.
The narcocorrido is a sub-genre belonging to the norteña music, which is heard mainly in the northern states of Mexico, Southwestern states of the US and also in Colombia. In Mexico this music is mainly interpreted by musicians from the north of Mexico and in the United States by Hispanics from Latin American communities.
This has been the recent trend of the traditional Mexican corrido, and primarily attempts to promote and celebrate famous figures, people and events related to drug trafficking.
In 2010 the narcocorridos dominate in popularity in the states of Sinaloa and Chihuahua, the two states most affected by drug trafficking, and the most popular contemporary singers are: Luis Silvestre, Los Nuevos Elegantes, Los Buitres de Culiacán, El Komander, Erik Estrada, Arley Perez, Grupo Escolta de Guerra, Gerardo Ortiz, Goyo Gastelum, Alfredito Olivas, Calibre 50, Enigma Norteño, Grupo Cartel, Grupo Alto Impacto, Grupo Sicilia, Grupo Voz de Mando, Jorge Santa Cruz, Roberto Tapia, Titanes de Durango, Canelos de Durango, among others.
I love how tough and awesome these narco corrido singers are. I mean really kids...raise your hand and get to joinin' the crew already!! Fast money and easy women...thats the key to a lifetime of happiness and fullfillment.
ReplyDeleteFinally, you mean there is a person with some sense in Mexico? WoW, someone mark the calender!
ReplyDeleteGood Move, the battle for hearts,minds and souls, is won by PR media. Mexicos young must not identify with narcos, its tough for ignorant kids to not seek a narco career. These kids need options and need to fear the law, both can be accomplished thru the media,also the empowerment of the millions of working law abiding people of Mexico,inflmed into action thru the media. What if the reality of the Narco life was exposed,not the hype THE REALITY. Narco Corridos --about running,hiding,killing,being killed,being hunted by law and other gangs,the lies the danger, having no life, no rest, who is going to kill me,who must I kill,who is plotting against me, GREAT LIFE
ReplyDeleteall those guys mentioned above are all sinaloa dick riders!!!!!!!! its just a propaganda campaign to influence the young and dumb that the sinaloa cartel is winning the war in mexico. So not true the dominant group is the zetas. they are tearing the country apart and el chapo and mayo cant do anything about it
ReplyDeleteTrouble is you can't trust anyone not even your own Cartel.
ReplyDeleteback then people were bitching about Gangster Rap, and now you guys are going to be bitch about Narco Corridos c'mon on now its just fucking music....
ReplyDeleteThis music is SHIT, for lack of a "better" word. The poor find themselves struggling to put food on the table...Then they hear this shitty music CLAIMING how good it is to be a NARCO CHINGON. What do you think is gonna happen? First dickhead that comes around claiming to be a "COMANDANTE" of a cartel cell persuades them to join and they're in! In for KILLING, BEHEADING, RAPE, ect...There is no HOPE for Mexico in their lyrics. Only sick minds, cartel members and cartel WANNABES find EUPHORIA in this piece of shit "ART-FORM"

the only thing this ban will do, is make it more popular. think about it kids and young people will naturally be more curious and gravitate more towards the forbidden. besides we shouldn't blame the music for the government's failures. the drug cartels didn't just appear overnight, the PRI and other parties worked with them, and now their Frankenstein is out of control. music is the least of mexico's problems.
ReplyDeleteFunny the video was filmed in Florida do these guys even live in Mexico now......
ReplyDeleteGOOD MUSIK!!! THESE GUYS ARE TALENTED MUSICIANS!!!!ARRIVA CULIACAN!!!
ReplyDeleteThis violates freedom of speech. don't get me wrong I think the music is horrible to society and celebrating narcos is just so wrong. But I don't believe that taking citizens rights will solve anything. I don't think this senseless war on drugs will solve anything. People wouldn't resort to drugs or violence as a source of income if there were decent jobs. the only problem in Mexico is the government and they're century long coruption. You mean to tell me that a country rich in oil, minerals, agriculture, natural beauty, hundreds of tourism spots is poor. How is that even possible? people need to wake up and start looking at the root of the problem
ReplyDeleteactually these guys are pussies i bet they all live in usa
ReplyDeleteshouldn't this have been done since the first narco corrido was written in the first place? did they have to wait till now to ban them? it's too damn late for that now!
ReplyDeletehahaha El RM hahahahes sinaloas best sicario.thats like justin bieber turning into gangster rap.he sang nothing but love songs and cried during his perfomances.Sinaloans love this shit.haha
ReplyDeletedude its music .... freedom of speech these singers sing about that and interpret that cause thats how they make money , everyone wants to know what drug dealers are up to and corridos is like another way of news plus like it or not mexico is on the border with the us, the druggiest country of them all , if the demand is soo high, the supply is gunna make its way their cause of the money. Where in a reccesion and in a country where their isnt alot of jobs and opportunity people whor smart beacuse smugglers arent dumb people they have intelligence agencies like the big goverment agencies due they find way to move stuff from countries and have soldiers watching their every move so they wont get captured. These people would benefit to our society if they got the chance to do something else but coming from la sierra of mexico or the high mountains with no experince or training for anything in the city ...well rounded smart ppl get into these types of organizations
ReplyDeleteThe Mayor should be more concerned in WORKING to provide more health, jobs, security, running water, sewers, better schools, defending peoples's rights, etc. But it's easier to pin everything in some popular music genre, right? Don't get me wrong: I think some of the actual corridos are real garbage, but.... WHO draws the line in free-speech? Me? You? The Government? Maybe (hopefully) you, who read this, never lived under a dictatorship, with secret police, censorship, people disapearing during the night, etc. I have lived like that. And you want to know something? THEY had a very nice list of forbidden songs too. It starts like that.
