32 musicians from Iztapalapa disappear after a trip to Tlaxcala

Borderland Beat


One Updated Version-Returning Iztapalapa Musicians Were in Puebla
Mexico City - The 32 musicians of Iztapalapa, whose relatives had reported them as missing in Tlaxcala were returned unharmed to their homes.

According to testimony, it was a misunderstanding and that they could not communicate with their families due to lack of cell phone signal in the community where they were. The state of Puebla and Tlaxcala has reported details or who had attended .

The musicians of La Devastadora Banda Imperial, and la Tremenda del Pueblo noted that while the locals were not allowed to leave the village, they wanted them to play longer.

Original story
Nothing is known of the 32 musicians of La Devastadora Banda Imperial, and La Tremenda del Pueblo. Their families are desperate. They're investigating whether the kidnapping may be narco related.

This scenario feels reminiscent of the disappearance of the 12 youths from the Zona Rosa bar Heaven in Mexico City and of course the tragic kidnapping/murder of Kombo Kolombia.
The missing 32 members of the two bands are between the ages of 15 and 40 years old.  They departed from the capital on Sunday, heading to a town in the state of Tlaxcala, near the capital. Members of La Devastadora Banda Imperial were from the neighborhood Paraje Zacatepec,  and La Tremenda del Pueblo came from the Santa María Aztahuacán neighborhood, in the Izatapalapa area, of eastern Mexico City. The members were hired by a person who sent a bus to transport them to play a party.

According to the newspaper Excelsior , the bands were hired to play at a celebration in the city of Tlaxcala, about 150 kilometers from the capital. A group of friends went to Tlaxcala, to try to locate the musicians, but until now they were told that there had been no fiesta scheduled in that city.

"What we know is that the contractor explained that one of his conditions was that the two bands ride to the fiesta on the same bus, and they would provide the  round trip transportation, and artists would caravan to the event." said the mother of one of the musicians.

Family members were not concerned about the musicians until last night when one of them sent a text message saying that his bandmates had not been let out and "the people have retained them" without giving further details, but he said that he had escaped . "We tried to communicate with them, but none of our calls and messages were answered," said one of the mothers.

"All I know is that there was no Tlaxcala fiesta, the people arrived a few hours ago and no one knew of the bands. We do not know what to do or where to look," said an anguished  parent by telephone.

  5. Glad it wasn't you and you are back with us HHHahavana! Seriously, I pray the members were just misplaced for a while. Or it is a big communication breakdown. Bring us a happy resolution, please. 32 is too many for this to happen.

  9. Obviously they were hired by narcos for some bosses' wedding or to make an album of narco songs.

    They prob took their phones away and transported them to a remote villa full of cartel members to play for. After it's over, and all the cartel guys are long gone their handlers will let them out, pay them a bunch of money and they can go home. That's usually what happens.

  13. I don't think they will be found dead. I think they will be released with some bullshit story or nothing revealed. It'll be another narco heist of a party band. They should just let their parents know now, so they can quit worrying.

    1. Just copy the webpage adress to translate.google.com and choose your languages and it will translate the page for you. I notice that when a site has an english version the info doesn't seem to be as good as the authentic version. Just my opinion..

  18. Where anywhere else in the civilized world do you hear of shit like the shit that comes out of Mexico. Only Mexico do entire musical groups go missing or are found dumped in wells/mineshafts dismembered.(Kombo Kolombiana)

    Hopefully these musicians will surface safe and unharmed.

  20. They appeared, better take out the article http://www.24-horas.mx/32-musicos-vuelven-a-iztapalapa-estaban-en-puebla-sin-senal/ they said they were in a town in Puebla with no cell phone signal to call their family members and were "held" there because the locals wanted them to play longer.

    Their version is bullshit, even without cell phone coverage there are landlines and they were not at the place they had been told they would go, what probably happened is that they were hired for some narco party and obviously they weren´t allowed to make any phone call, this is not unusual at all.

  21. Maybe the record label was mad because these guys weren't selling enough records and had them picked-up in reprisal. So much for the notion that cartels don't exist in Mexico City. While the EPN government is patting themselves on the back stating that cartel violence is reducing and gloating about the Z-40 capture, violence has continued to increase in places like Michoacan, Tamps., Guerrero, and D.F. The EPN govt. can only use the Z-40 capture in their p.r. campaign for so long before they realize that catching a boss doesn't mean they can declare victory and the narco violence over.

  24. Though it is probably bullshit,
    still it is a really lame excuse. I'm sure the parents were very pleased they (the bands) didn't finda land line. Maybe a courier-type person to head out early to call or update their Facebook page or Tweet or at least clue in one relative. I'm glad they aren't in a water well!

  27. Somebody needs to tell us :
    1. Profile of the band --kind of music.. narco-corridos, cumbias, old traditional, new..what?
    2. Circumstance --wedding? ,Party? What?
    3. Location (hotel, ranch, hall, )
    4. Who "exactly" was the individual(s) who contracted band ( may lead to unraveling motive).
    5. Who else witnessed the band playing (waiters, cooks, servants, etc)
