Title: Controversial Regional Band Yahritza and His Essence Sparks Backlash with Negative Comments About Mexico
Regional music band Yahritza and His Essence, composed of three brothers from Washington, USA, recently found themselves at the center of a social media storm after making derogatory remarks about certain aspects of Mexico. The negative comments quickly garnered widespread criticism, particularly from influential social media figures like Yeri Mua and Luisito Comunica.
The backlash against Yahritza and His Essence was immediate, with social media users diving into the band’s history to uncover more details about them. One aspect that garnered considerable attention was the identity and origins of the musicians’ parents.
In an interview with Pepe Garza, the Martinez brothers, Yahritza, Armando, and Jairo, spoke briefly about their parents’ background. Pepe asked the trio if their parents knew where they were originally from, to which one of the musicians revealed, “From Jiquilpan, Michoacán.”
Curious about their connection to Jiquilpan, Pepe inquired if they had ever visited the city. However, the brothers admitted they had not yet had the opportunity to do so. Pepe then suggested that it would be a fantastic idea for the band to perform there.
Jiquilpan, known for its rich history, has been an important cultural, agricultural, and commercial center since pre-Hispanic times. The municipality’s website reveals that it was formally established on December 10, 1831, and was later recognized as a city on April 16, 1891, under the name Jiquilpan de Juárez.
Furthermore, Yahritza and his Essence have occasionally shared glimpses of their parents on social media. On Father’s Day, the band’s lead singer proudly showcased her father, remarking, “For those who don’t know my dad, this is my dad. Do we look alike or what?” The band also surprised their mother with a digital device, capturing the heartwarming moment on camera.
The controversy surrounding Yahritza and His Essence’s negative comments about Mexico has generated significant attention on social media. As the band continues to face backlash, many are calling for accountability and a deeper understanding of cultural diversity and respect.
