The state of Michoacan also announced an investigation into the Los Alegres del Barranco for projecting the same images during a concert in the city of Uruapan.<\/p>\n<p>Jalisco Gov. Pablo Lemus said that the state would ban musical performances that glorify violence, adding that violators would &#8220;face monetary and criminal sanctions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know that outrage is not enough,&#8221; Lemus said. &#8220;Of course it&#8217;s possible to ban (the music).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since, a number of the band&#8217;s future shows have been cancelled, one town&#8217;s government saying that the show &#8220;didn&#8217;t have the municipal permissions needed&#8221; to carry out the performance.<\/p>\n<p>Pavel Moreno, the band&#8217;s accordion player and back-up singer, didn&#8217;t respond to questions by fans asking if his visa had been revoked, simply thanking them for support and saying that &#8220;everything is fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The band was scheduled to play in Tulsa, Oklahoma on April 4. While the event hasn&#8217;t been publicly cancelled, ticket sales websites read: &#8220;No tickets available for now on our site&#8221; for that date.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;You can&#8217;t justify violence or criminal groups&#8221; \u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>The dispute coincides with a larger cultural debate in Mexico as artists like Peso Pluma, Fuerza Regida and Natanael Cano usher in a global renaissance of Mexican regional music, by mixing classic ballads with trap music. In 2023, Peso Pluma beat Taylor Swift out as the most streamed artist on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the artists now topping the charts have come under fierce criticism because their lyrics often paint cartel leaders as Robin Hood-esque figures. Others say that the genre, known as &#8220;narco corridos,&#8221; expresses the harsh realities of many youths across Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>A number of Mexican states have banned public performances of the music in recent years, the most recent being the state of Nayarit in February. Some of the bans have come as famed artists have received death threats from cartels, forcing a number of them to cancel their performances.<\/p>\n<p>Others, including Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum, have sought a less aggressive approach to addressing the genre. Sheinbaum, who has come out against censoring the music, has suggested instead that the Mexican government push forward initiatives that promote Mexican regional music with more socially acceptable lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>The Mexican leader did harden her language on the topic following the Los Alegres del Barranco concert. In her morning news briefing this week, Sheinbaum demanded an investigation into the concert, saying: &#8220;You can&#8217;t justify violence or criminal groups.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In December, videos posted on social media from a town in the western state of Michoacan, showed a sign at a Christmas fair <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mexico-town-thanks-cartel-leader-el-mencho-childrens-holiday-gifts\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">thanking the Jalisco cartel&#8217;s leader<\/a><\/span> for the gifts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The children of Coalcoman thank Mr. Nemesio Oseguera and his sons, 2, 3, and Delta 1, for their noble gesture. Thank for your gifts,&#8221; the sign read.<\/p>\n<p>Sheinbaum said at the time that local officials were being investigated for any possible links to the sign.<\/p>\n<p>    <!--
