bandera-copy.jpgMajor artists in Mexico are canceling appearances at palenques across the country in fear of the wave of violence linked to narcocorridos, songs about the drug trade. Such songs have been linked to the deaths of a number of artists including Valentin Elizalde last November.

Gunmen shot to death four members of Banda Fugaz after a performance in Michoacan. A fifth member of the band was also shot but survived. No arrests had been made and the police had no immediate suspects but what is known is the fact that the band was NOT known for singing narcorridos.
