Molotov Ignites Castrelos Concert as Vigo Mayor Is Booed

The band's politically charged set drew mass singalongs, provoking boos for the mayor over a new ban on beach‑bar live music.

Overview

  • The Mexican quartet performed at Castrelos in Vigo on Thursday night as part of the Frijoleuros Tour, opening with “Santo Niño de Atocha” and closing with a string of their best‑known songs.
  • All four original members—Micky Huidobro, Tito Fuentes, Paco Ayala and Randy Ebright—played together, delivering the group’s trademark high‑energy mix of rock and rap.
  • The setlist mixed recent material and long‑standing hits such as “Frijolero,” “Gimme tha Power,” “Mátate Teté” and “Puto,” and the audience joined in with Mexican flags and large singalongs.
  • Mayor Abel Caballero was loudly booed during his pre‑show speech after local musicians staged a protest over a municipal ban on live performances in chiringuitos, but the concert began on time and proceeded without interruption.
  • The Vigo show follows the band’s decades‑long career, a 2023 Latin Grammy for Sólo D’Lira, and a tour that continues to stops including Valladolid, Lanzarote, Madrid and Menorca while reigniting debate over censorship and offensive lyrics in their catalogue.
