The corridos singer, Natanael Cano, generated controversy during his performance at the National Fair of San Marcos in Aguascalientes. Amid his performance, the artist expressed his discontent with the restrictions imposed on the corridos musical genre, openly challenging the established norms set by local authorities.
In a tense moment of the night, while performing the song 'De la codiciada', the event organizers decided to abruptly end his performance, triggering the annoyance and boos from the audience. Despite this, Cano continued to express his desire to please his followers and reiterated his defiant stance.
The singer made his position clear by stating: 'With much respect, we come to sing for you, Aguascalientes, and, with much respect, to all the people who are prohibiting us from singing and showing our art, in the end, we don't care **', urging his audience to take action amid the controversy.
These episodes have been recurrent in performances by other artists of the corridos genre, such as in the case of Luis R. Conriquez at the Horse Fair in Texcoco, State of Mexico, and Los Alegres del Barranco with their song 'El dueño del palenque', dedicated to 'Chapo' Guzmán. However, Natanael Cano now joins the list of interpreters challenging the restrictions and generating debate on social media.
During his performance, Cano attempted to comply with the rules by starting with songs that did not glorify violence or crime, such as 'Pacas de billetes', although he could not avoid making critical comments towards the local government for not being able to perform 'Cuerno azulado', directly challenging the official impositions. The audience's reaction and the repercussions on social media have been intense, highlighting the strong impact of this controversy in the musical and social sphere.
