His announcement comes amid a turbulent environment for Mexican artists. In recent months, renowned musicians such as Julión Álvarez , Grupo Firme , Espinoza Paz , Los Alegres del Barranco , and Lorenzo de Monteclaro have seen their U.S. tours canceled or postponed due to visa issues.
That's the case for Julión Álvarez, who had to postpone a concert packed with 50,000 fans at AT&T Stadium in Texas after announcing on May 24 that his visa had been revoked the day before the show.
Meanwhile, Grupo Firme canceled a concert at the La Onda Fest in Napa Valley, stating that both their visas and those of their team were under "administrative review." Oscar Maydón has also had to cancel his tour. It all began after Los Alegres del Barranco projected images of a Jalisco cartel leader during a show in Mexico and had their visas revoked, forcing the cancellation of several dates in the US.
These measures reflect an increasingly restrictive immigration policy of the U.S. State Department, which has justified these actions by arguing a concern to prevent the entry of expressions considered to be an apology for crime.
