The ban was officially approved this Wednesday (September 26) by an 87 to 13 vote. Independent lawmaker Oliverio Rodas commented that the group’s music is offensive to “the morality of the Christian people of Guatemala.”
However, opposition lawmaker Eva Monte Bac argued that the ban violates the constitution, accused colleagues of being “hypocrites.” She asked why reggaeton music with misogynist lyrics or narco-ballads that glorify drug traffickers have not been banned.
The band was set to perform in Guatemala on October 11.
