Tijuana police official
Julian Leyzaola issued the ban in 2008 after the group's lead singer relayed a
greeting to a drug trafficker from the stage. The tough-talking former army
officer announced over the weekend he was leaving the police department. Now
that Leyzaola is gone, Tucanes lead singer Mario Quintero says that "we do
not think much time will pass before we can return to Tijuana." The
Tucanes defend songs that glorify drug traffickers, saying audiences like the
tunes.
