Natanael Cano defends corridos tumbados genre

Overview

During an album launch event for ‘Natanael Cano Vol. 1’ at the Pepsi Center in Mexico City, singer Natanael Cano defended the ‘corridos tumbados’ genre against criticisms and potential government censorship. Cano, a pioneer of the genre that blends regional Mexican sounds with hip-hop, addressed concerns regarding content perceived as glorifying crime.

Responding to producer Pepe Garza, Cano expressed his commitment to the movement, stating, ‘Me van a tener que matar, compadre. Me van a tener que matar porque esto lo hacemos de corazón...’.

The genre has faced increasing scrutiny and regulatory pressure. Previous incidents include the group Los Alegres del Barranco facing controversy in April 2025, and artist Junior H being fined 33,000 pesos by the Zapopan city council following a performance in Jalisco.
