Culiacan, Sinaloa:

Singing narco - corridos ended up being very expensive for the singer Javier Rosas, according to the investigations of the Attorney General of the State, the ambush registered against him on 22nd of March of this year, allegedly happened because in one of his songs he makes reference to a criminal group from Chihuahua, that annoyed a rival group.

It was for the music he wrote that they planned to attack him, even though Javier Rosas has numerous songs dedicated to the Sinaloa Cartel.

In one of his songs, Javier dedicates it to "La China", a woman that allegedly operates a criminal group in the Serrana de Chihuahua Zone.

The song for "La China" says:

To an important meeting,

Is coming to Cheyenne

The crystals very dark,

one cannot see who comes

opened the door without a rush

one observed a woman so distinguished

I saw her leave the truck in slippers

Ladies and Gentleman now singing,

It is different

Now it goes for the woman, for a very brave woman,

Where is she respected, what's said,

In the Mountains and Cities, 

I am "La China"

Who said that women can't ?"
