Jorge Medina's concert cancelled at Mazatlan Carnival, after narco-banner directed at Grupo Firme

MAZATLÁN.— Since February 25, the name Grupo Firme has been trending on social media after it was reported that a narco banner was placed on a bridge in the La Gloria neighborhood in Tijuana, threatening to kill the gang.

Hours after this discovery, it was announced that the concert of singers Jorge Medina and Josi Cuén , scheduled for the opening of the Mazatlán Carnival Festivities , was canceled.

However, those in charge of the event that will take place this Thursday, February 27, and which will serve as a framework for the coronation of the King of Joy (where Grupo Firme will perform) stated that the artists will not perform "for reasons unrelated" to the blanket found.

National media have highlighted the cancellation of the presentation of regional Mexican singers at the Mazatlán Carnival .

In its 125th edition, under the motto “La Perla”, it took place a day after Eduin Caz and Grupo Firme , scheduled to perform on March 1st at the coronation of the Carnival Queen, were threatened with death in the city of Tijuana, Baja California.

Not forgetting to mention that a decapitated head was left for them as a warning that they could suffer the same bad luck.
