Gala Montes Defends Music Amid Controversy

The Mexican actress Gala Montes has been widely discussed in recent years, not only for her work in acting but also for the controversies surrounding her. One of the first controversies she was involved in occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic when she expressed disagreement with the treatment of pets by Bárbara de Regil. Her popularity grew with her participation in the second season of 'La Casa de los Famosos México', where she had confrontations with Adrián Marcelo amidst family conflicts.

After her departure from the show, more controversies arose on social media, linked to accusations from influencer Anna Porter, who claimed that Gala used her to gain sympathy within the LGBTQ+ community. After some time out of the spotlight, Gala Montes recently gave an interview to the Mexican press, where she surprised with her opinions on Mother's Day and narcocorridos.

In the interview, Gala shared details about her upcoming music projects, highlighting her artistic versatility and the positive reception from the audience towards her music. She expressed her interest in collaborating with Natanael Cano, a recognized exponent of corrido tumbado in Mexico, stating that it would be a dream for her to work with him. In light of the controversy generated by the possible prohibition of narcocorridos in live performances by the federal government, Montes offered a critical yet thoughtful stance on the matter.

In her statements, the actress emphasized that she does not believe narcocorridos are directly responsible for the violence in the country, mentioning that their music addresses important issues happening in Mexico. Gala defended artistic freedom and shared her opinion that blaming corridos tumbados for the violence is not the solution, pointing out that authorities are attempting to evade responsibility by claiming that this music is the problem.
