Mexican band Grupo Firme
Mexican regional music band Grupo Firme announced the cancellation of a concert in the United States. The decision was made because the U.S. embassy subjected the visas of its musicians and production team to review.
Grupo Firme, which holds the record for drawing 280,000 people to a free concert in Mexico City’s main square (the Zócalo) in 2022, is the latest artist to be affected by the U.S. government’s decision to reconsider entry permits for certain Mexican performers, some of whom have been accused of glorifying or having ties to drug trafficking.
The announcement, released on their social networks, explained that their visas are in an "administrative process by the U.S. embassy," which "makes impossible" the presentation they had scheduled for Sunday, June 1 in Napa Valley, California.
This week, singers Julión Álvarez and Lorenzo de Monteclaro, also regional artists, were forced to cancel concerts in the state of Texas due to problems with their visas.
According to U.S. law, AFP recalled, foreigners' visa files are confidential documents, which is why U.S. officials decline to give details on any matter related to them.
The exception was the case of the members of the musical group Los Alegres del Barranco, whose visas were cancelled after they exhibited in March, during a concert in Guadalajara (west), images that praised the figure of Nemesio Oseguera, alias El Mencho and leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, now considered a foreign terrorist organization.
