Pedro Segura Valladares, a businessman and former gubernatorial candidate for Guerrero, solicited the performance of a narcocorrido dedicated to notorious drug lord 'El Mencho' during a private celebration at his hotel, Vida en el Lago, in Tepecoacuilco, Guerrero. The event, labeled as a free concert, attracted attendees from nearby municipalities, creating a scene linked to controversial themes surrounding narcotics and public safety.

However, the invited band, Los Alegres del Barranco, declined to perform the requested song, citing legal issues they were facing in Jalisco connected to alleged glorification of crime. The band's vocalist, Pavel Moreno, explained that singing the narcocorrido could infer risk to their legal situation, stressing that the potential consequences of their actions were significant regardless of the performance's context.

In Guerrero, while there are no explicit bans on playing narcocorridos at private gatherings, local authorities have urged individuals to avoid such songs due to the implications associated with glorifying criminal figures. Segura's insistence on singing despite the band's refusal led to his own performance for the attendees, raising further questions about the cultural acceptance of narcocorridos within the region and the ongoing societal debates on crime and music.
