A Timeline of Narcocorrido Bans in Mexico
Calls for censorship of narcocorridos in Mexico have only intensified over the past few years.
Today, 10 (out of 32) states in Mexico have implemented bans and limitations on the broadcasting of corridos in public spaces, including Baja California, Chihuahua, Guanajuato, Quintana Roo, Nayarit, Jalisco, Michoacán, Aguascalientes, Querétaro and Estado de México. In an unprecedented move, the U.S. State Department canceled work and tourist visas of Mexican corrido group Los Alegres del Barranco after they displayed images of the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho,” during a concert on Saturday (March 29) at an auditorium at the University of Guadalajara. A narcomanta, a type of banner often used by criminal groups to communicate messages, was reportedly found in Sonora, Mexico, with alleged threats against corridos tumbados star Natanael Cano, as well as Mexican singers Tito Torbellino Jr. and Javier Rosas.
