Natanael Cano has been named by hundreds of publications as the “hero of Mexican music.” His bullfights have reached countries where they don’t speak Spanish, but with fame comes the other side: the problems and public scandals from which he has escaped well because, can money do everything?
At 23 years old, Natanael Cano has reached different audiences, both those who like to listen to corridos tumbados and those who love gossip and know exactly what happens in show business.
Cano, at his young age and career, has achieved many things: money, fame, recognition, but he has also been the subject of analysis, since his lyrics talk about drugs, violence, corrupt youth and the impact that his melodies have on the young people who follow him. they listen. In the end, he is the reflection of a new generation and a genre that was seen with disdain and is now recognized worldwide.
He himself said it during the concert he gave in June 2023 at the National Auditorium in Mexico City: “When we were morrillos, the corridos were not very famous, they were not recognized or by important people. The bottom line, my goal was to change that mentality in people our age. They told us that corridos were frowned upon, and they excluded us. I always wanted to show that corridos are really badass.”
And just as the one born in Hermosillo, Sonora, along with Peso Pluma, has been a watershed in the positioning of corridos tumbados and music made in Mexico, controversies have not been lacking in his life either, which beyond being simple setbacks of a young man with fame and a lot of money, they talk about a structural problem in society and the so-called “with money the dog dances.”
On March 27, Cano celebrated his 23rd birthday with a party called CanoFest, where they gave him a red Camaro car, as well as two blue Porsches. To celebrate, she took one of his gifts and started driving it on the street, accelerating and skidding. The municipal police arrived at the scene to arrest him. That’s where the problems started.

In another recording, Cano is heard talking to another element to whom he shouts: “I gave 50,000 for your people, your family!” Afterwards, he throws bills on the ground and one of the uniformed men bends down to pick them up.
Natanael’s adventure reached the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Sonora (FGJES), which reported the dismissal of the officers, for which Cano came out to “offer an apology.”
