Mexico Canta's Grand Final will feature Intouchable, with these artists advancing to the semifinals.
The much-anticipated semifinals of the "México Canta" contest are set to commence next Sunday, August 17, 2025, in Mexico City. This event, part of the Mexican Government's integral strategy for peace and against addictions, aims to promote new narratives that transform the lyrics of music that apologize for violence.
The semifinals will feature a diverse range of musical genres, including mariachi, hip hop, and more. Notable performers in the semifinals include Majo Aguilar, La Arrolladora Banda El Limón, Lila Downs, Horóscopos de Durango, Camila Fernández, Vivir Quintana, Regina Orozco, and La Sonora Santanera.
The goal of "México Canta" is to foster a culture of peace through music. This aligns with the recent 14% reduction in the reproduction of narcocorridos, a subgenre of Mexican music often associated with drug trafficking themes. This decrease in narcocorridos' popularity and reproduction is reflected in the change in the way young people aged 16 to 30 consume music, resulting in 30 million fewer listens in Mexico.
The Culture Minister, Claudia Curiel de Icaza, highlighted this significant reduction, but did not mention any specific artist or song related to it. The exact mechanisms or detailed statistics on this reduction are not fully elaborated in available sources.
The semifinals will be broadcast from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM on all public media at the National Palace. The finals are scheduled for October 5, 2025, and Claudia Curiel de Icaza announced that Intocable will perform at the final of the contest "México Canta" on that day.
This event is a testament to the power of music in shaping culture and promoting positive values. As the semifinals approach, the anticipation builds for these influential artists to take the stage and continue the mission of "México Canta" – promoting a culture of peace through music.
Celebrities such as Majo Aguilar, La Arrolladora Banda El Limón, Lila Downs, Horóscopos de Durango, Camila Fernández, Vivir Quintana, Regina Orozco, and La Sonora Santanera will perform a variety of music genres, including news about the upcoming semifinals of the "México Canta" contest. The entertainment provided by these artists aligns with the contest's goal of promoting a culture of peace and reducing the popularity of music that glorifies violence, like narcocorridos.
