For Mexican acts, the show goes on despite dangers

Playing popular dance music in Mexico has become an increasingly deadly proposition, with a string of murders striking regional Mexican acts.

In particular, the December kidnapping and murder of Sergio Gomez, lead singer of popular duranguense group K-Paz de la Sierra, highlights artists’ need for security when playing Mexico’s lucrative dance circuit of rural towns and municipalities.

Despite the dangers, few managers and artists are reluctant to cut Mexican tours short, particularly now that the regional Mexican touring circuit in the United States is suffering from lower attendance caused by economic and immigration concerns.”*
