Junior H Apologizes After Jalisco Fine, Veto and Concert Cancellation Over Narcocorridos

The singer faces municipal penalties under Jalisco’s ban on songs deemed to glorify crime.

Overview

  • Junior H acknowledged he performed “El Azul” and “El Hijo Mayor” at the Palenque de las Fiestas de Octubre in Zapopan despite local rules against such content.
  • Zapopan’s mayor confirmed a 33,000‑peso fine, a local performance veto, and a complaint filed with the State Fiscalía for alleged apología del delito.
  • Guadalajara canceled the Nov. 16 show at Plaza de Toros Nuevo Progreso due to late filings and missing documentation, including a Protección Civil assessment.
  • Jalisco’s governor signaled the artist will be barred from future state venues, reinforcing municipal regulations adopted in April 2025.
  • In a public statement, the singer apologized, pledged to remove narcocorridos in favor of personal and romantic themes, and asked to continue his 2025 tour in the state.
