El Komander - Cuernito Armani (narcocorridosjr)

In accordance with an ordinance prohibiting the singing of narcocorrido songs which glorify drug culture, authorities in Chihuahua, Mexico have fined a concert promoter 10,000 pesos (about $8,000) for a July 27 concert by the artist known as El Komander. El Komander, whose videos featuring guns, fast cars and cocaine have millions of views on Youtube, denied responsibility.

Rios told Univision News that he had reviewed his repertoire with the concert promoter before the late night appearance on stage for a rowdy crowd that had waited outside through a thunderstorm to see him. "There must have been some misunderstanding," he said.

Chihuahua City assistant government secretary Javier Torres told the Associated Press that the concert promoters had been forced to forfeit a deposit of 100,000 pesos which had been posted prior to the weekend concert. Torres said the money will be used to buy computers for community centers.
