Los Alegres del Barranco Obtain Legal Protection to Sing Narcocorridos in Michoacán
A federal judge has granted Los Alegres del Barranco an injunction to sing narcocorridos in Michoacán, despite the state ban.
With this ruling, Los Alegres del Barranco will be able to sing narcocorridos provisionally in the state without facing penalties, as the federal judge determined that the decree violates fundamental rights to freedom of speech and labor protected under the Mexican Constitution. The government of Michoacán enacted a state decree on April 17 that prohibits the performance and/or reproduction of music that promotes the glorification of criminal activities at public events. Los Alegres del Barranco became the first act from the regional Mexican genre to be formally accused by the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office of alleged glorification of criminal activities.
