This isn\u2019t just a win for us, it\u2019s a win for the culture, for everyone who\u2019s been riding with us since day one and for our genre.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tHe adds, \u201cM\u00fasica mexicana is global and we are just getting started.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWith the two shows, the band becomes the first act to sell out both venues in the same weekend.

Mexicanos hay pa\u2019rato, viejo<\/em>,\u201d JOP said onstag<\/a>e at one point, causing the venue to erupt in applause. \u201cArriba, Los Angeles. Arriba, Mexico!\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tEarlier in the week, JOP addressed how the ICE raids were affecting their large audience, but assured that the threats wouldn\u2019t affect their show. \u201cIt\u2019s a fucked up situation but we\u2019re here to help,\u201d he told Variety<\/a><\/em>. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to disappoint nobody, and I know a lot of people bought their tickets and are looking forward to being with a community. That\u2019s why we\u2019re still going forward\u2026 the show must go on.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFuerza Regida opened both shows with dancers, showcasing folklore and tradition. Aztec choreography took over the massive stages for a moving ceremony honoring the Nahautl inspiration behind 111xpantia<\/em>\u2018s manifestation concept.
