Definitely worth following Ioan Grillo. He was one of the first English language journalists to cover Narco Mexico, and he remains amongst the most observant. To top it off, he writes clearly and succinctly.
Thanks for the fantastic read. You mentioned these corridos, they have been widely popular nowadays many of them revisiting acts such as el Culiacánazo, El Ratón. Another song widely popular, JGL. (Joaquin Guzman Loera) how are these songs “OKd” for release? Both these songs are highly popular and some of these are not taken lightly in different states.
Excellent as always. I'm curious if you are ever apprehensive about being recognized during your encounters. I cant imagine there are many narcos who read much but your works are well known outside of Mexico (perhaps within too? I am not familiar). I don't imagine los punteros or similar groups would find it as favorable if they realized the filming was/is not actually about music, no?

Keep safe, thanks again.
Ioan will you ever write a book on Los Chapitos? I have three of your books on my audible would love to add more when you release some.
