Edwin Luna, accustomed to a complicated environment when playing regional Mexican, confessed a difficult moment in his life to the actor José Eduardo Derbez. The singer revealed that on one occasion he received threats, but not because of a narcocorrido, but rather for him to interpret a children’s song that he did in collaboration with Tatiana.
The vocalist of the Trakalosa de Monterrey spoke with José Eduardo Derbez about how difficult the environment is within music , especially because it is dedicated to the Mexican regional genre, where contact with organized crime is latent.
In the talk published on the YouTube channel of Eugenio Derbez’s son, Edwin Luna talked about how he usually handles himself in the industry and the threat he received on one occasion , as well as other confessions regarding his more personal life.
“Some time ago, in a city in the country, they spoke to me and told me that they wanted to hire me for a party. I do not do private events, but at that time it was tempting because they told me you play for an hour and you come back “, began the narration of the interpreter of Drunk of love and Fíjate que si.
“I will never forget the story because the party looked very calm, they didn’t bother me or anything, but suddenly a person comes and says ‘the person who hired you is asking me to sing Being a child is great ‘, That song is a song that I recorded a few years ago with Tatiana. It is a song for children ”, he commented on the moment before receiving a greater threat.
Luna was surprised at the request, since it is a song that she does not usually include in her repertoire because it is dedicated to children and she does not even remember much.
“I tell him: ‘the truth is that I don’t remember, but right now I’m fanning it, I recorded that for the children and it’s not a song I sing every day,’” he added.
“At 10 minutes he went again and asked me for the same song … at 10 minutes he came and said: ‘this is the third and the last time I tell you to play Being a child is great or it will be This roll is very intense, ‘ ”Edwin Luna heard on that occasion, in which he had no choice but to interpret the song.
“Total, we sang it as best I could, I remembered and we sang it. When we came back home I remember talking to the musical director I told him: ‘I had to be threatened for a corrido, that they told me you have to go by force to this event or to this place, but I had never been a nursery rhyme threatens me, ‘ ”he reflected on the threat he received from his clients.
This action caused a clash of emotions in the Mexican regional singer: “It was so curious, because we left the logical scheme of the corridos, but with a nursery rhyme it seemed very strange to me.”
The singer also spoke of the occasion in which for a bet he dressed as a woman or in which he had a crude moral.
Edwin Luna accepted that the environment in which the Trakalosa de Monterrey operates is very unsafe: “ It is complicated , but in the Mexican regional environment it is even more so. I have had to live with people like you who are dedicated to acting, with youtubers on Instagram and we do grab the ‘little jar’, but in this environment when you don’t know how to control yourself … and you have plenty of everything, you have drinks, women, unfortunately or fortunately drugs, and so on. So you have to have the necessary maturity because your career lasts very little, “said the singer who is currently very popular on TitkTok.
“Apart from that we deal with crime a lot because they tell you to sing a corrido that they like. That is why at Trakalosa we try not to record corridos, we have three, counting one that we have just released, it is called A la vida le learned and because the song speaks of something positive ”, he highlighted.
The singer also spoke of the occasion in which for a bet he dressed as a woman or in which he had a crude moral.
Edwin Luna is just one of so many Mexican artists who have received threats for their work.
