El Shaka was the victim of the horrendous drug violence that has rocked Mexico to its core.
“It’s happened to me for years now, someone tells a radio station or a newspaper I’ve been killed, or suffered an accident. And then I have to call my dear mum, who has heart trouble, to reassure her.”
El Shaka said in a statement.
The 40 year old gupero singer was shot by a drug gang as he was making his way to a concert. Gruperos sing ballads that are based on, and glam up, the international drug trade that keeps the money flowing into Mexico.
Six other Gruperos have been killed within the last 6 months, but none as widely known and followed as the U.S.-based El Shaka.
