Luis R Conriquez Speaks Up: ‘They Said If I Sang a Corrido, They’d Cut Off the Sound System’

Luis R Conriquez talks about the barcocorridos ban and the chaos at his Mexico show.

But this time, concert organizers gave him a warning: “They said that if I sang a corrido, they would cut off the sound,” Conriquez recalls. A few hours before the show, he posted on social media letting fans know that his set wouldn’t include narcocorridos. He’s now preparing to bring his Trakas tour to the U.S., kicking off at UBS Arena in New York on April 25, where he’ll be able to perform his full repertoire.
