The organizing company for the concert of El Komander and Netón Vega in Irapuato, scheduled for November 16, 2024, has been forced to cancel the event. The city's Security Secretariat has denied the permits citing security reasons, which has caused disappointment among the artists' followers.
Jorge Morales, representative of the promoter JM International Production, distanced himself from the responsibility, asserting that they have always been serious and responsible in conducting their events. He expressed his frustration over the cancellation and the uncertainty it generates in the music environment.
El Komander is known for his "Altered Corridos" in regional Mexican music, being a controversial figure due to his lyrics that exalt drug trafficking and the associated lifestyle. Songs like “Borracho y escandaloso” and “El taquicardio” have generated controversy, leading some authorities to evaluate his music as risky.
Followers who have already purchased tickets can request refunds at the corresponding sales points. The cancellation of the concert highlights the tensions between popular music and security concerns in the country, reflecting the reality of entertainment in Mexico.
Despite the efforts of the organizing company, the denial from local authorities has been irrevocable. Fans of El Komander and Netón Vega hope that in the future these decisions can be reevaluated so they can enjoy their favorite artists on stage.
