Peso Pluma Finally Addresses Narco Corrido Culture With Theatrical Coachella Set


Peso Pluma addressed controversies he had previously avoided during his Friday night set at Coachella, and welcomed Becky G onto the stage.

During the singer’s Friday night main stage set on Coachella ’s opening day, Peso finally said what may have been all he needed to say on the subject. Peso performed backed by his seven-piece band — including an upright bass (also known as a tololoche), a requinto guitar, alto horns and charchetas — to an overwhelmingly large crowd of festival-goers, many of them touting their red, white and green flag. He continued the tradition of championing fresh faces like Mexican rap star Santa Fe Klan, and also welcomed guest stars Arcangel and Junior H, the latter of which appeared as a part of tribute to Mexican music greats that also included legends Jenni Rivera, Joan Sebastian, Ariel Camacho and Ramon Ayala, to name a few.
