What did he do
DeleteNo seas pendejo
Deletehe is one of the best singer's ever
DeleteDamaso didn't do it . It was los contrarios
DeleteMy babyy tito <3 i love uuuuu ))): i literally had more than half your songs saved on my phone & i went to 4 of your concerts!/: R.i.p tho ❤
DeleteBest ever............ funny, I've never even heard of him.
DeleteTe aseguro que era El Cartel: La Linea. Porke? Porque le canto con los traviezos de la sierra al R5 el Jefe de La Gente Nueva. La Gente Nueva y La linea son contrarios. Eso digo yo.
DeleteSo sad what Mexico has become. Mexico is a beautiful country but has become so corrupt. And people cant even live at peace anymore. Prayers to his family and fans
DeleteIt was damaso did you hear from him he had already had death threats
DeleteCompa tito damn!!!
ReplyDeleteMessed up stuff.
ReplyDeleteDang, wonder if BLO took him out?? Saying too much in his songs?
ReplyDeleteLately he was going mainstream with non-corridos. Who knows
DeleteThats wat he gets for running his mouth about el remmy valenzuela
DeleteWhat was he saying about remmy
Deletewho in the hell is remmy valenzuela???
DeleteFuck this nigga he got it just like kpaz sergio gomez and sergio vega. Pinche pendejo canta puras pendejadas. Y todos ustedes cabrones apoyan a esta musica bola de weyes. Y chollan que se murio ya dejenlo estupidos babosos. Apoyan la musica y lloran si algo les pasa.
Delete@8:06 pm..Remmy Valenzuela,grandson of the late Ritchie Valense (aka..Ricardo Valenzuela).use to sing rock n roll but saw how much money was in the drug world,so he became a narco singer and trafficker.
DeleteSad
Deletethis is bullshit... ritchie valens died at 16... he never even had kids... y'all are a bunch if morons. .. I wouldn't wish any if this to anyone. ... but this music is ridiculous. .. anyway. .. rip sir.
DeleteMultiple * spell check !

ReplyDeleteDude please tell me you are not going on about grammar?
Please,not another one..Just to let you know,,no-one gives a fuck about it?

Straight beast on the corridos!
ReplyDeleteFuc# yea this guy had a talent to make songs real good corridos not that piece of shit alterados like he would say payasadas no Se confundan
DeleteThat first pic is Espinoza paz if im not mistaken!
ReplyDeleteHes rite beside him with the accordian
DeleteWhitch one.?
DeleteNo its not.. espinoza paz is in the video on the very bottom.
DeletePorque nomas a el? Tambien andaba el r8 de la Gente Nueva y 2 de sus escoltas. Porque nomas al Tito?
ReplyDeletePorque Ya era su tiempo
DeleteStupid ass
DeletePorque lo posieron son de sinaloa tracioneros
DeleteAnother artist of the grupero music genre has succumbed to violence. Tori Torbellino was an up and coming artist. The message can't be clearer : you sing and glorify one cartel/cartel member, talk shot about a rival, might cost you your life. Either that or he got involved in the narco business and messed the fuck up!
ReplyDeleteValen Pura Verga!!! Los que lo mataron
ReplyDeleteToda esa feria y andan sin chaleco anti ballas que mal cosa que gacho pobre vato que en paz descanse.
ReplyDeleteHe sang for z ctgm blo and who knows who else it's more probable that cds had him eliminated,hope assassin squads from whatever cartel group takes revenge on cds,they're getting out of control killing Thier own people and singers
ReplyDeletehe sang for CDS..."El Comando X" talks bout a CDS meeting..
Delete@7:30 PM
DeleteHe sang narco-corridos about CDS too. The only one I've listened to is Comando X by Alfredito Olivas ft Tito Torbellino
What does BLO stand for?
DeleteBeltran Leyva Organization
DeleteI knew this guy not personally but worked on his staff during tours.. he was a complete ass hole
ReplyDeleteI also worked with him on a few events and was by far the most arrogant person I've met. It's sad that a life was taken.
DeleteThats not true, he was the nicest person ever
DeleteI too have heard about his arrogance. Supposedly he was also disrespectful toward fans who would approach him after/before shows. He still didn't deserve to be gunned down but if you're going to praise one criminal organization, you're basically a rival of the other groups and it would be an honor for them to take you out. RIP
DeleteFue gente del chuy bravo , iban por un pistolero del m100 ke estaba comiendo con tito
ReplyDeleteEra el R8 el que andaba con el. Pero porque no lo mataron a el?
DeleteHubo Otros heridos pero fueron rescatados devolada
DeleteDeseguro se cogio a una vieja de un pinche narquillo.

DeleteA lawyer
DeleteJust listen to corridos
DeleteLicensiado no es abogado (lawyer)
Deletewhat song is tito talking about remy
ReplyDeletePedron antrax
DeleteHEll to people that killed him! In my opinion they had it planned! How the fck is he the only one that's gonna die when there was more people in there! Shit. Esta cabron. somos mayoria and this stuff not ending here!
ReplyDeleteIt was chuy bravo. Tito was close to Mandy Moreno. Mandy Moreno was killed by chuy bravo and el 20's people in January.. Mandy's ppl wanted to kill them both so they kicked out both 20 and chuy bravo out of agua prieta. Because they were stealing.. Everyone in AP hated chuy bravo and 20... Now that they killed el 20, chuy bravo got revenge because Tito was hanging out with a few ppl from GN...
ReplyDeleteTuvieron Que ser eyos quien mas they killed 20 tuestday so chuy bravo went back and got at him Que siga Martin Castillo por andar de Puto y aparte no puede cantar ese baboso.
DeletePor que dices eso no hables por hablar perro que ladra no muerde
DeleteNo that's not him
ReplyDeleteRest in peace Tito...you will always be loved and never forgotten...

They told him to sing a Mini lic corrido and he refuse to sing it, is that true? Anybody?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm hearing here in Sonora
DeleteNo
DeleteNo that ain't true
DeleteThis sucks Tito was beast
DeleteNo way valetine elizalde was a better singer
DeleteUr stupid valentin elizalde sucked in comparison....tito was a beast on accordion and wrote un chingo de rolas....I dig valentin elizaldes style as far as how he carried himself and he had balls to open and end his tanda en reynosa pero hands down tito was way more talented
DeleteNo diss to tito but the people from Sonora sinaloa follwed valetine also had a better crowed ferro a los 300 via ciuada obergon
Deleteyou didn't know him personally but he is an asshole? Or disrespectful sour grapes?
ReplyDeletePinche puto que mando a que lo mataran yo mismo me los voy a quebrar a esos putos
ReplyDeleteNellll tu no vas a hacer nadaaaaaa xD
DeleteGerardo Ortiz just recently got a warning on a narcomanto, he better be careful or hes going to be next
ReplyDeleteSurveillance cameras at the restaurant?
ReplyDeleteLike it matters...what they gone do??..go look for the Sicarios??..pleaseee!!
DeleteTHE POLICE CAN HAVE THE SHOOTER RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM AND WON'T DO SHIT BECAUSE THEY KNOW NOT TO MESS WITH THE CARTELS SO EVEN IF THERE WAS CAMERAS THEY WON'T DO SHIT
DeleteQue descanse en paz tito torbellino la neta era chingon para los corridos
ReplyDeleteD.e.p. compa tito!

ReplyDeleteTito fue sangron y bien creido. pero era hu un ser humano detodos modos d.e.p...
ReplyDeleteOh god really, it is what it is. If your from Mexico which your not. It's the lifestyle most kids look up to these people. Even the cartel hitmen. They wanna grow up and be like them. It's normal to them and taboo for you
ReplyDeleteSinging about drug life and blood money, praising people who have hair trigger fingers and short fused tempers, no suprise he was eliminated.
ReplyDeleteagreed ^
ReplyDeleteD.E.P Compa Tito
ReplyDeleteW.W.J.D
ReplyDeleteyeah! What WOULD Joaquin do??
DeleteNow go to bed.
ReplyDelete"mini lic" = name of song El mini Licienciado
ReplyDeleteMini lic is the son of licenciado it's like saying he is lil licenciado
DeleteMini lic is the son of the original licensiado who helped plan chapo's escape from prison. After that the licensiado and his son mini-lic and/or Damaso became top leaders for the sinaloa cartel.
DeleteES is going miss ya bro 602@z
ReplyDeleteIt was well known he had beef with Gerardo Ortiz. In the song he made for chalino Sanchez he calls him out. Via Facebook he calls beto sierra chapulin because he was in tour with Ortiz.
ReplyDeleteThats all folk..
ReplyDeleteIt was probably a crazed fan ( Lennon ) , a disgruntled employee ( Selena ) , or an out of work circus clown ( Arellano ). If there are any Justin Bieber or Kanye West fans on BB , please by all means take the initiative and put these " artists" out of their misery . Just don't shoot Selena Gomez or Kimmy Kardashian . I'm sure Tino Torbellino's music sales will skyrocket . Too bad he won't be around to enjoy the proceeds .
ReplyDeleteChingon de chingones compa tito!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe always had his san judas chain. Obviously someone stole it. Fucked up
ReplyDeleteWell I personally like the tito torbellino as an artist. But I wish it would it been gerardo ortiz little bastard.
ReplyDeleteHe was an ass, wonder why it took so long for them to get him. Everyone knows that Gerardo Ortiz is next, I don't think he will make December 2015.
ReplyDeleteAdios Narco Singers!
Pepito
Gerardo Ortiz will be alive if he doesn't do stupid stuff and for the people that say it should be luis coronel or Kevin Ortiz shut up cause they are all good singers so stop hating anyways r.i.p tito you will always be in my heart and screw the people that killed you :(
DeleteIf you glorify violence and evil deeds then you got yours puto! Sing about the beauty of Mexico not what makes it fucked up!
ReplyDeleteI met him at a privada too, he was an asshole and acted like he didn't want to be there. He also acted like he was above everyone. Any who, my bet is that it was the same people that killed R5 since he sang about his ppl and him in general as well
ReplyDeleteY el Gerardo Ortiz anda diciendo que era broma la nota que le ponieron en tijuana. Anda atrapado el guey, que desgracia
ReplyDeleteEL VILLASENOR
ReplyDeletedamn this sucks, tito was raw, one of the real ones, porque no pudieron levantar a kevin ortiz o luis coronel....damn sad day
ReplyDeleteGet out of here if your just going talk shit..RIP TITO TORBELLINO one of the top corridos artist you will surely be remembered! My heart goes out to his family
ReplyDeleteMe vale madre lo ke digan yo soy acordionero le gusté o no le gusté. Todo mundo tiene su carácter. Ningún ser humanó es perfecto.y nadie marese morir ni desearle la muerte a nadie
ReplyDeleteR.i.p tito we will miss your songs know you get to sign to all the saint you loved and prayed for san juditas is your lead "oooh by the way fuck all the bicth ass haters that talk shit about you your in gods hands know que chingen su p.... madre ,l,
ReplyDeleteYou really got a twisted mind talking about God with all of those bad words?
DeleteThis is typical. Keep supporting crap like this and we'll that's the outcome...don't be surprised. Like when a gangster gets killed, first thing parents say is,"no Era cholo" then they show a pic and the guy has full blown gangs across his chest...
ReplyDeleteMijo era Un Buen niño!
Delete@9:15 p.m it shouldnt be normal for anybody no matter what country they are from.being a narco is not something anyone should aspire to be! Its like the damn gangbangers in the u.s going to prison wearing it like its a badge of honor which it is NOT!!
ReplyDeletePLEASE calm down with the language and personal attacks. I just deleted 70 comments that were not suitable for posting. and that is saying a lot based on what I have allowed to be posted.....you guys gave me a headache...
ReplyDeletecalm down. give some info on topic. or related
Sicarios walked in restaurant and shot at him only. Obviously he had some to do.. Y didnt they shoot all.. Just him..?
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that no one questions safety in Mexico. For those of us that have parents out there it sucks!!!
ReplyDeletenimodo mi tito qdep ya quedo en la historia
ReplyDeleteIts kind of like you praising actors and sport figures.What the hell have they done for you,nothing right?!..then what the hell do you look up to them.
ReplyDeleteRIP comp tito you will never be forgotten forever in my heart for sure!
ReplyDeletePedro antrax - tito y su torbellino dopest corrido of his ithink
ReplyDeleteQue en paz descanse
ReplyDeletedamm tito well be missed i wish it ws gerado ortiz o kevin oritz but y tito well he is in a better place now d.e.p tito we love you <3
ReplyDeleteIt's stupid to look up to anybody that's not a role model like a teacher, a parent, successful mentor! Why the heck would I look up to actors or gangsters!!!! That's just stupid!!!! And what's even more stupid is to look up to Narcos and Marco singers!!!! Why?
ReplyDeleteWhat bullshit my comment doesn't make it through but people talking shit about narco corridos make it. Typical censured bullshit. Here let me see if this makes it: Horray for Miley Cyrus, Lada gaga, and justin beiber everyone should listen to them and only them because only that music is real music about the street, life and NARCOs.
ReplyDeleteMiley Cyrus will trek you to death! And lady gaga will bore you to death!
DeleteBy the way! RIP! Hopefully the only good that can come out of this is to discourage young kids from this messed up lifestyle!!!!
ReplyDeleteCreo que los crímenes a los famosos nunca van a ser resueltos. El govierno y la delincuencia en si todo es un desorden. Pienso que esto no a sido la primera ni sera la ultima vez que pase algo asi en México. No digo que haya estado involucrado en algo solo ellos saben, pero al cantar corridos te envuelves en un mundo donde la vida se vuelve peligrosa y la fama se paga a un alto precio.
ReplyDeleteStill can't believe it !! I can atleast say I got to see him at one point at one of his concerts up close <33 (: r.i.p you will be missed <3 fuck the haters !!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch strong feedback for a singer! RIP! This would of never happened if people would avoid buying music that's glorifies this lifestyle!
ReplyDeleteIt was chuy bravo in retaliation for the killing of el 20 de ap!!
ReplyDeleteThey killed him because he sang about the ppl of ap (charko) like r5 and because he was Mandy Moreno's compa... Mandy Moreno's ppl killed el 20 so in then they kill Tito Torbellino.. Julion Alvarez is gonna be en el charco.. Word is they might get him too.. Chuy bravo may as well go for martin Castillo too...
ReplyDeleteexactly...the only comment with the Truth ! after reading so many ! nice
DeleteI read julion canceled because of tht fact
DeleteAQUI NO A PASADO NADA !! SOI DE AGUA PRIETA Y AIJADO DEL MINI LIC
ReplyDeletejajaja.ers aijado.del.mini lic. No seas mamon mas.mejor eres el lamba hievos del.mini lic... arriba la sierra de durango.
DeleteY yo soy hijo de chapo
DeleteSi pero hijo del chapo-pote!!
DeletePURO RUMORES..
ReplyDeleteel compa tito sigue vivo y listo para manana en obregon..puro chisme..
ReplyDeleteMucho cuidado Julion.. Pon mas seguridad, no vaya hacer ke le pase algo.. Ahora nomas matan por matar.. Ojala nada pase..
ReplyDeleteAunque no paresca, la gente de agua prieta tiene muchos poder en Sonora...
ReplyDeleteHe composed a few songs for Chapo Izidro and his people. Also for a few people around Phoenix Arizona that were know for just stealing merchandise from others. Hang around with the wrong people, it's bound to happen.
ReplyDeleteThats why i dont like corridos..they glorify violence and drugs..but i love titos "te la pasas" ft. Espinoza i love his songs about women, love and sex.
ReplyDeleteThat's why you should listen to Salsa music...haha...no drama there
ReplyDeleteI will never understand why beautiful women like troll looking guys.
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens, todos bien pesados, bien chingones, narcos y no se que madres in the states where it's safe. You ain't playing that shit in Mexico play boy
ReplyDeleteI liked his music, but he was Sinaloa nutthugger all the way. I bet rival cartels didn't like that and had him clipped just like Elizalde. My condolences to this family. RIP Tito.
ReplyDeleteWhy do artists in mexico sing narco corridos if they know they're putting their life in risk from the very point they start singing them. Yeah out of it you'll get fame, money & love from fans. But it is it really worth it ? You're going to end up dead like all the other artists in mexico who sang narco corridos. Why not just live a normal life & not intervene in anything related to narcos. In the end, you're leaving behind your family kids & loved ones. & all just for a bit fame & money.
ReplyDeleteFueron Los Sicarios de Donald Sterling que tumbaron al creido "Tito", por juntarse con Los Chapulines del CHAPUTO y El MIADO...
ReplyDeleteOjala y ya se mueran todos aquellos que le cantan al Los Ancianos putos ( CHAPUTO y EL MIADO)....:-)
Ther better b pay back for this viva para siempre compa tito!
ReplyDeleteSorry about his loss, but the guy didn't sing about happiness and flowers. If you are involved with that type of lifestyle and with certain people. things could get out of hand and ugly.
ReplyDeleteThe word out of apson is that they wanted tito and his hole band killed 20 and chuy bravo people there is a connection from 20 murder and Titos death u see tito was really close to all the big dogs in apson and he made corridos for all of them rest in piece compa!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEsta mafia es la ke vale madre....antes nomas se traficaba ahora torturan levantan y matan a gente inocente por nada...tito nomas asia su trabajo....a el le pagaban para componer corridoz y el los hacia asi es komo ellos se ganan la vida y tienen ke aprender a RESPETAR y dejar afuera del circulo mafioso a los ke no tienen nada ke ver....lo bueno ke Caro ya esta en Sonora para ver si el buelve las cosas a la normalidad....
ReplyDeleteHe got killed just cuz he used to get along with CDS .... bad thing is in obregon sostiene una disputa con los Beltrán, de Sinaloa, lo que incluye a El Chapo Isidro, uno de sus principales aliados y controla el corredor norte de Sinaloa, so those guys don't like to hear any stuff (including corridos) about CDS
ReplyDeleteWow what los narcos can do too you, they dont care who you are bam bam your down. Sad thing is that GO can be next, watch out cacheton.
ReplyDeleteEl ke anda entre la miel algo se le pega! Se murio todito entero
ReplyDeleteDon't perform in Mexico period. Unless you just don't give a shit about your life.
ReplyDeleteI'm good, as long as it wasn't Tito Jackson.
ReplyDeleteTito Jackson lol
DeleteDESCANSA EN PAZ TITO TORBELLINO
ReplyDeleteFunny how everybody here is condeming the violence in Mexico, yet they still listening to their corridos which promote the same violence that killed this guy.
ReplyDeleteIts the same way kids in the poor "hood" look up to drug dealers. They're the ones with money, nice cars, flashy clothes, etc. The kids don't see other opportunities to make money & in LatAm, there may be no staying in school to achieve anything if your family is poor.
ReplyDeleteJust two let you know gente nueva and chapos aren't the same gente nueva is there own group operate by themselves just like chapos do they only have an alliance with them.
ReplyDeleteI guess freedom of speech is dead in MX. Killing people because they sing songs (no matter the type) is a sign of the uncivilized. Narcos must be a bunch of communists.
ReplyDeleteSoo then why cry for people who die in Mexico..that's there life style then let them dream with it.
ReplyDeleteYou guys that think that valentine was a good singer know shit about music, learn to play an instrument and then talk, tito was ok, not a great accordion player but solid, not a great singer but his voice went well with corridos. saludos a pueblos unidos viejones

ReplyDeleteWE ARE NEARING OUR COMMENT LIMIT FOR THIS POST. Usually it is 200-225 depending on length of text.
and I have 150 comments to go through. So If they stop being [posted...that's why.
This guy is amazingly popular. I had no idea.
One thing...the death photo was taken as he was in back of the police vehicle which transported him to the hospital. But the window has a huge impact hole.
anyone know the details?
The problem is that these singers think cds controls all the plazas, they got to respect what us not there turf. Elizalde sang that song he wasn't suppose to, but he had the balls to do it in reynosa. Tito is dead cuz he fucked up or it just wasn't cds turf. All them singers should start making corridos for Caf and Juarez cuz there on the rise.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone actually know why he got killed?
ReplyDeletePlay with fire .you get burned.
ReplyDeleteESO LE PASO POR ANDAR CANTANDOLES ALOS Z Y POR CHAPULINN LO MISMO LE VA PASAR A GERARDO ORTIZ ATTENTAMENTE PANCHITO
