Mariachis in the Line of Fire

Mariachis in the Line of Fire According to a new report, Mexico is becoming one of the world's most dangerous countries. Drug gangs are using the internet to taunt rival cartels and revel in their killings.
Mimicking the tactics of Al Qaeda, cartels capture rival gang members, force them to confess on camera and place the video of their execution on the internet. But it's not only gang members being killed in this way. Musicians are being increasingly targeted. Since the revolution, bandits have paid to have songs composed about their exploits.

Unfortunately, most of the time, musicians "don't know who the client is", until it's too late.
