Investigators from the Tamaulipas state prosecutor\u2019s office, who were looking into their disappearance, revealed that the men were abducted around 10 p.m. that evening while traveling in an SUV to a venue where they were scheduled to perform. Their remains were located on the outskirts of Reynosa. Prosecutors indicated that nine individuals, suspected to be affiliated with a faction of the Gulf Cartel, which has a significant presence in the city, have been apprehended.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\">Authorities were unable to provide an immediate explanation for the killings and did not refute local media reports suggesting that the bodies had been incinerated. The genre of music they performed \u2013 Mexican regional music, which encompasses a variety of styles including corridos and cumbia \u2013 has recently gained prominence, entering a phase of international musical revival. Young artists occasionally pay tribute to drug cartel leaders, often depicted as figures akin to Robin Hood.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It remains unclear whether the group performed such songs or if the artists were merely victims of the pervasive cartel violence that has overshadowed the city. However, other musicians have received death threats from cartels, and some have had their visas revoked by the United States due to allegations from the Trump administration that they were glorifying criminal acts.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The remains of five musicians, who were members of a Mexican regional music group and had been reported missing, were discovered in the northern city of Reynosa near the Texas border, as stated by&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2509,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3722"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3722\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3723,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3722\/revisions\/3723"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/originaltastex.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
