Anabel Hernandez: Peso Pluma Glorifies Organized Crime In Mexico And The World

Mexican investigative journalist Anabel Hernandez has pointed out the singer known as Peso Pluma as a propagandist for the criminal clan of the Chapitos, the sons of Joaquin Guzman “El Chapo”.
During the presentation of her book, The Secret History. AMLO and the Sinaloa Cartel, at the International Book Fair (FIL) in Guadalajara, the expert on issues related to drug trafficking and politics, commented that she is conducting an investigation on Peso Pluma and described him as “an important character in the world of organized crime”.

“He is a very important character, much more than we imagine, within the world of organized crime and in the clan of ‘Los Chapitos’,” said the writer.
Hernández said that Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija (Peso Pluma), is a reference of the music known as “corridos tumbados,” which serves as an instrument of validation of organized crime and that due to its reach, it has transcended Mexican territory and has reached different parts of the world.

“We are no longer talking about a singer confined to national fame. Peso Pluma is an international phenomenon, nominated for awards such as the Grammys and the MTV Europe Music Awards.”

The author also expressed that when playing and enjoying the music of this personality they are normalizing violence and drug trafficking and become accomplices of drug trafficking and its culture.
Her investigation on Peso Pluma has been carried out since last year, when she obtained information about the alleged participation of the Sinaloa Cartel in financing Kabande’s artistic career.

I wonder if you can get her book in English.
No, her books are only in Spanish.
