PHOENIX (CN) — On the eve of the last day of in-person early voting in Arizona, Vice President Kamala Harris teamed up with norteño band Los Tigres del Norte to encourage voters to hit the polls.
“We are proud to be here in Arizona supporting Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz” Los Tigres accordion player Jorge Hernandez told the Halloween crowd “Make sure your friends and family have a plan to vote by Nov. 5 so we make our voices heard.”
Harris painted the election as a chance to step forward into a new version of the country.
“It is time for a new generation of leadership in America,” Harris said Thursday afternoon. “And I am ready to offer that leadership as the next president of the United States.”
She addressed the crowd after a 30-minute music set from the featured musicians.
Los Tigres performed for nearly 20,000 people at the Talking Stick Resort Amphitheater in Phoenix on Thursday, playing hit songs like “Somos Más Americanos” and singles from its Grammy-winning album “Gracias!... América... Sin Fronteras,” which translates to “Thank you… America… Without Borders.” They finished their performance chanting “Kamala” as they left the stage.
Los Tigres del Norte is famous for its political messaging regarding social injustices, the immigrant experience and the realities of the Mexican drug trade. The band has been censored both abroad and in its home country for its somewhat controversial topics. The city of Chihuahua fined the band in 2017 for playing a narcocorrido, which the city’s mayor said glorifies drug trafficking.
The state of Chihuahua fined the band in 2012 and temporarily banned it from performing its most well-known song, “La Reina del Sur,” which tells the story of a woman drug dealer in Mexico.
Thursday’s event was part of a series of concerts and rallies across America aiming to mobilize young and nontraditional voters. Harris shared the stage with rock band Mumford and Sons and pop singer Remi Wolf on Wednesday in Madison, Wisconsin.

quote:
A narcocorrido (Spanish - drug ballad) is a subgenre of the Regional Mexican corrido (narrative ballad) genre, from which several other genres have evolved. ... Narcocorrido lyrics refer to particular events and include real dates and places.[3] The lyrics tend to speak approvingly of illegal activities, mainly drug trafficking.

Like Mexico’s version of gangsta rap?
Oh that’s gonna help. /s
The fact that democrats and Kamala aren’t embarrassed by this speaks volumes.
Yes, the cartels pay them to write songs and they celebrate the narcos within the culture.
Seems fitting for open borders Kamala to have a group like that at her events — more drug money, more mules, more billions for cartels. Sure they are one of her major donors through the non-traced foreign donations.
There was a YUGE group of Latinos for Trump, on Thursday night, at Tucker’s Pres Trump event, in PHX.
Saw a billboard, in PHX ....
Drug Dealers for Harris.
LOLOL. It was great.
Wonderful. Harris gets the endorsement from a drug band.
Makes sense to me that the Cartels would want her as pResident.
Although I don’t think I’d want the general public to know it if I was Kamala.
And yet she brags about how she ‘went after the cartels’ as AG.
(the rest of the story is probably that she went after them for a %, not to put them in prison )
Vote Early, Vote OFTEN... right???
Yeah. More fenrenal deaths for Kamala. Yeah amigo sing about that, you lowlife swine.
This “Los Tigres del Norte” filth, and all those in the same mold, needs to be hunted down and exterminated with extreme prejudice, just as the IDF is doing with Hamas and Hezbollah. And for the same reason.
The cartels and the Mexican drug trash are cut from the same cloth as the islamonazis. They want to exterminate US from ocean to ocean and establish their new “La Raza Unida” wetback fiefdom.
May the incompetent, evil, lazy, corrupt, drug-addled filth meet their waterloo in the US and be driven back into their pit in Mejico and south. From which they can repent and start over.
Don’t want “new version of the country.”
I’m hearing Tren de Aragua has endorsed her as well.
I saw them once, almost accidentally, when they were much less famous in the early ‘90’s. They were a very polished, professional group of men with a wide variety of music.
