Mexican musical artist Natanael Cano has announced his ‘Vol. 1 Tour 2026’, which includes at least 14 concerts across various Mexican cities to promote his latest album.

Following these announcements, the Sonora State Attorney General's Office identified a ‘narcomanta’—a threatening message—targeting regional Mexican music artists. The message, attributed to a group called ‘Grupo Bélico Mata Salas’, specifically named Natanael Cano and issued warnings against those collaborating with the criminal group ‘Los Salazar’. 

The threat was discovered near the body of Jesús Bernardo “N”, who was killed in Hermosillo on August 29. This incident follows an August 28 attack where armed individuals set fire to a ring at the Centro de Usos Múltiples during a scheduled event. Authorities are currently investigating three men in connection with these violent incidents.
