Los Tucanes de Tijuana
Get the Keys to the City of Coachella "for their long history and connection to
the city. La Chona blew up thanks to social media and Los Tucanes talk about
the importance of the community in Coachella. He answered two questions
and thanked the Mayor for inviting them to be a part of this event."
The band has been
banned since 2008—The ban came after an onstage shoutout sent
to a capo.
It happened in the year 2008, when the Tucanes de Tijuana were in the Hipódromo Caliente of Tijuana, Mario Quintero , leader of the group, decided to send a greeting: "A greeting for 'El Teo 'and his compadre' El Muletas'"

Drug traffickers
Teodoro García Simental (aka "El Teo" or "El Tres Letras")
, and Raydel López Uriarte (aka "El Muletas") , were apprehended by
federal authorities in early 2010.
There was no comment
about the arrest by Quintero.
Insane, since narco
corridos play openly in Mexico and have not had difficulties selling their
recordings. At the time the police
chief, Julian Leyzaola, was incensed that the group gave the shout out and
banned the group from playing in their hometown and the state of Baja
California.
Leyzaola then moved to
Juarez to continue his work, and barely survived an assassination attempt that
rendered him non-ambulatory destined to spend his life in a wheelchair.
This was the statement
from the government at the time of the ban:
"In a time of
great violence in this city, where two drug traffickers were the protagonists
of the violence, in a presentation of the group Tucanes in 2008 they sent
greetings publicly. If they do not change their genre of songs they will not be
allowed to sing in this city, "said Luévano Ruiz.
At the same event narco
corrido band Los Tigres del Norte was allowed to perform
Below performance and
key to city
Interesting how Mexico's government will ban performers and artists who criticize the government.
ReplyDeleteBanning corridors while condoning drug traffickers through alliances and associations.
Such hypocrisy.
If one pays attention not many artists will bad mouth government. The consequences will be their death of their career.
Los tigres delivery norte were probably the first to be banned from performing in Mexico for some time.
Los tigres del norte censored themselves.
DeleteEven more interesting is how the State of California will give a Key to the City to a band who supports a narco terrorist.
DeleteInteresting how the US doesn’t support Mexico one iota when it comes to stopping guns, working to curb demand, and even gives a Mexican hero who served selflessly the finger by giving these selfish “artists” a platform and even ignorantly honoring with keys to city.
DeleteAnother first class example of the hypocracy America espouses with their war on drugs and being pro law enforcement. It’s funny how many Americans are deaf, dumb, and illiterate to the hypocracy and corruption of the United States of Anglo Profiteers. Lol! Even watched while their US drugcompanies, FDA, and US doctors created the highest percentage of drug addicts in recorded history of any country in the world. A real “first world country”! Lol
The US is a first world country,
Deleteand it got rich the good old way,
everything it got, had to be stolen from friend and foe,
but mostly from the unsuspecting...
after searching for vids and images i found the two videos and made adjustments---social medial blew up when they performed.
ReplyDeleteWho did they give a shout out to???
ReplyDeleteEl teo
DeleteArriba la Mania
Not sure but I remember reading about some banda shouting the city will always belong to the CAF after a show in Baja so maybe it was them
DeleteMario Quintero, líder del grupo, decidió mandar un saludo entre canción y canción: “Un saludo para ‘El Teo’ y su compadre ‘El Muletas’. Arriba la maña”.
DeleteI think it was to el teo I’ll try finding the video
DeleteSee update and big thanks to the two readers who sent the info in!
DeleteWe got it 1:10 but thank you!!
DeleteTeo and muletas at the time teo had flipped over from afo to cds
DeleteI don’t get it, never will enjoy it, but you have to respect it. Rest of the world sells out for bullshit pop music and hip hop is big. Hell, used to be rock and boy bands. Mexico has always had its own unique sound. Lyrics aside, whether corridors or not, it will always make me smile to hear music pumping from a system driving by, and there is no need for the subs, bc instead of base, it’s just horns, acoustic guitar, and freaking accordion. Bravo Mexico, since polls died, you are keeping the accordion alive and the rest of the planets taste in music be damned. I am shocked it hasn’t taken off with non Hispanics in the states, but I think it’s safe to say it will always be your own and you don’t care who likes it or not.
ReplyDeleteFinesse
11:13 Mexican bands dress very stylish. The style is like '70's soul groups like the Chi-Lites, the Spinners and the Temptations, where all dress alike. At most US concerts, the band vies with the audience for the title of worst-dressed.
DeleteMan corridos sound so bad though. It doesn't even sound in time at all
Delete22:54 the corridos are for la perrada that enjoys them.
DeleteSnobs can always buy Ray Conniff or Herb Alpert and his Tijuana brass band.
Texas Grandma used to dance to them in her youth, but evolved to real Mexican corridos, instead of that horrible Tejas sound.
Los tucanes aren’t banned from Mexico
ReplyDeleteThey are banned from Tijuana for giving El Teo a shoutout
read the article--4th paragraph is precise--and last time I looked Tijuana and Baja are In Mexico
Delete"At the time the police chief, Julian Leyzaola, was incensed that the group gave the shout out and banned the group from playing in their hometown and the state of Baja California"
DeleteClear if you read the entire article.
Leyzaola accused Mario Quintero of being a narco, but never had the balls to arrest and torture him into confession, still doesn't
DeleteTijuana will allow tucanes play the some day,
Leyzaola will Never walk again.
Los Tucanes are old family friends.
ReplyDeleteDavid y Mario Moreno good friends.
Mario Quintero my idol, one of the only singers that has never done drugs before
Allegedly
DeleteReal Tucans have big spaces under their beaks, they fuel the Tucanes imagination, because of sompim'
Delete11:21 Mario Moreno, "cantinflas"?
DeleteTucanes were playing in Morelia last weekend
ReplyDeleteThey got an event In Aguascalientes
To el teo y su compadre el muletas
ReplyDeletePorque chingados no mandan al Teo unos dias al Topo Chico prison?
DeleteVideos would beak you tube
Most of the mexican corrido musicians make their money on the US anyways. Also, Mario Quintero is rich as fuck afaik.
ReplyDelete10 mil is not that much today.
DeleteIndeed most of the mexican corrido musicians make their money on the Us. The corrido industry is in the US. The first narcocorrido was recorded in the US in the late 1920s. Also Carga blanca" in 1952; "contrabando y traicion" in 1972 (with Joe Flores) and in 1973 (with Los Tigres). It has all happened in the US.
DeleteCorridos don't make money off gabachos on the US, it is all those Mexican "undesirables" doing what they do best:
Delete"Lo que les de su rechingada gana"
I swear they push the issue with singers more then the criminals they sing about
Delete"El Jefe De La Sierra " is one of the best corridos dedicated to the boss of all bosses El Señor Guzman .
ReplyDeleteWhen my team is goimg on a mission we play it in our Secret Service type earpieces. It gets me pumped up for my dangerous missions in enemy territoty
006 WTF LMAO!!!!
DeleteBut doesn't that make your mission more dangerous when you can't hear your compadres communicating over the music? Such a stud, living on the edge like that.
DeleteI seriously think some of you dont know 006 is satire. I mean come on.I for one find him hilarious.
Delete1253 you might be the only person on here..
DeleteBut what about the songs about his enemies? 006 with all that recon and intelligence training I’m sure you’ve had to come across “senor de la o”, “ el 42”, “Ramon Arellano”, “el patron” to name a few. What say you sicario, that’s one disloyal band foo 🤯
DeleteDidn’t banda Jerez did the same thing in monclova? They dedicated a corrido to lascano?
ReplyDeleteThey didn’t get banned
