The singer of corridos tumbados who preferred to stay at home
Oh, what a surprise. Óscar Maydon, the king of corridos tumbados (or, as some call them, “the soundtrack of controversy”), decided that this month of June was not the best time to get on stage. Reasons? Mysterious, like the end of a soap opera. Through a statement from Ocesa (that company that always knows how to ruin plans), the “Giza” singer announced that his concerts in Guadalajara and Mexico City were cancelled. The Pepsi Center crying in the corner? Probably.
Problems with lying corridos? Nobody saw it coming!
According to Billboard, 10 of Mexico’s 32 states have decided that corridos tumbados are as dangerous as a habanero pepper in the eye. Regulation? Yeah, because nothing says “public safety” like banning songs instead of, I don’t know, solving real problems. Maydon, with the grace of someone dodging bullets (literally, because his family suffered an attack on May 19), said that all of this was “out of his control”. Of course, because artists always have the superpower to control the decisions of governments, right?
While his fans cry on their social networks (or at least feign indignation between selfies), the singer asked them for patience and promised them new projects. An album? A collaboration with Peso Pluma himself? Or maybe a reality show about canceling concerts in style? Who knows. The only thing that is certain is that he shared a preview of his next song, because nothing calms anger like a little self-promotion.
In case anyone was worried about money (which, let’s face it, is the only thing that hurts more than a canceled song), refunds will arrive like a divine miracle to credit cards, while physical tickets will have to be returned at Ticketmaster Centers. Does anyone else miss the days when buying a ticket wasn’t a risky bet?
For the clueless: Óscar Maydon is not a rookie. He was born in Mexicali in 1999 (yes, he’s younger than your phone) and rose to fame with “El Instagram”, because in this era, even songs need a good hashtag. Since then, he has collaborated with heavyweights such as Natanael Cano and Gabito Ballesteros, demonstrating that in the world of corridos tumbados, feats are the key to success.
So, dear fans, take a deep breath. The concerts are canceled, but the music (and drama) continues. What will Maydon do now? Will he join a monastery? Will you write a corrido about the frustration of canceling events? Time will tell. In the meantime, share this news and continue exploring the fascinating world of artists who prefer the recording studio to the stage. Until the next musical crisis!
