Many reggaetón and corridos tumbados concerts — and any other musical or other kinds of performances that involve the denigration of women — are no longer be welcome in Chihuahua, under the argument that they promote gender violence in a municipality with high rates of the violence against women.

The city has implemented a new ban against performances with content denigrating women that carries a hefty fine for violators.

The reform to the Regulation of Amusements and Public Shows, promoted by councilwoman Patricia Ulate and approved by the Chihuahua city council on Wednesday, will apply to all events regulated by the municipality.

Artists likely to be affected include performers of the reggaetón and corridos tumbados genres, the bread and butter of well-known stars such as Peso Pluma and Bad Bunny. The corrido tumbado is an emerging style that fuses Mexican ballads with elements of reggaetón and hip-hop.

1. Good.

especially when considering how much violence women are subjected to.. Abusing those denigrated as "inferior" is so much easier.

And those who voted with her stay safe

3. Imagine the uproar if this was Cuba doing this.

The Miamicunano "exiles" would be on the streets again protesting "the brutal dictatorship", and surely condemnation by the usual suspects allied with RW "exiles" and their bullshite.
