Peso Pluma's music spans reggaeton, trap and corridos tumbados - a genre that mixes the traditional Mexican corrido with urban genres and violent lyrics. Mexico's government reported 1,399 murders in Baja California state during the first eight months of this year, with Tijuana - where Peso Pluma was set to perform on Oct. 14 - representing the greatest share.
