Natanael Cano has returned to the sound and the topics that made him famous and to the controversy that has followed it.
The Mexican star's new album, Natanael Cano, Vol. 1, mixes romantic ballads with songs about armed men, criminal organizations, and characters connected, directly or indirectly, to some of Mexico's best-known drug-trafficking groups. One of its most striking lyrics openly invokes Los Salazar, a criminal organization operating primarily in Sonora and Chihuahua that has been linked to the Sinaloa Cartel.
