Grupo Firme has canceled its performance at the Mazatlán Carnival due to a serious warning from organized crime. The Mexican group received death threats through narcomantas and found a human head in a cooler in Tijuana, Baja California. The messages were clear: if they performed in Mazatlán, all members would be killed.
The warning was reported by drivers traveling on the Tijuana-Rosarito Highway, generating an environment of danger and violence that forced Grupo Firme to decide to cancel their participation in the event. The safety and integrity of the band members were put at risk due to the serious threat received.
In an official statement, the group expressed its concern and regretted not being able to fulfill its commitment to perform at the Mazatlán Carnival. They also assured that they will announce the dates of their tour in other locations soon, reaffirming their commitment to their audience and their music.
This unfortunate event highlights the delicate violent situation in some areas of Mexico, where organized crime exerts control and fear over the population and even over artists and public figures. The cancellation of Grupo Firme's performance at the Mazatlán Carnival is a reminder of the challenges and dangers that Mexican society faces in the fight against crime.
