CNN —Authorities in the Mexican city of Chihuahua have moved to ban performances of songs that “promote violence against women,” citing high levels of domestic violence.
The law bans the performance of songs that promote violence against women, as well as their discrimination, marginalization or exclusion, said Bonilla.
Narcocorridos and corridos tumbados, types of homegrown Mexican music linked to violence and the drug trade, could also be affected.
In 2012, the city banned popular Mexican group Los Tigres del Norte after the band played three songs categorized as narcocorridos.
Chihuahua city is the capital of Chihuahua state in northern Mexico.
