In-Life Tribute Concert for Xava Drago Scheduled for September 25 in Mexico City

A wave of support from the Mexican rock community is mobilizing after Drago disclosed his gastric cancer had become terminal

Overview

  • Xava Drago announced in early August that his recurrent gastric cancer had advanced to a terminal stage, prompting a shift to palliative care.
  • Coda and fellow musicians confirmed “Eternamente Xava” at La Maraka in Colonia Narvarte, with the singer expected to attend on September 25.
  • Guest performers from Víctimas del Dr. Cerebro, Jaguares, Amantes de Lola and La Ley, along with artists like Salvador Moreno and Cha, will share the stage in his honor.
  • Toño Ruiz and Chucho Esquivel of Coda described the devastating impact of Drago’s prognosis and said the homage is timed so he can still feel the audience’s support.
  • Supporters have maintained fundraising efforts for his palliative needs since May, and Drago has continued creating new music despite his weakened condition.
