\n\t\u201cThe date was already set for a long time before we knew any of this was going to happen. Now, we want to help,\u201d Los Tigres del Norte\u2018s Jorge Hern\u00e1ndez said in the Minnesota Star Tribune<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s hard, because the city has been hurt a lot, the citizens there. Whenever you perform you want people to have fun and forget about everything going on. That\u2019s really what we want to do there.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\tDays before their show, an ICE officer was charged with assault related to the surge. The officer allegedly pointed a gun at civilians while off duty.<\/p>\n
\n\t\tRicardo Arjona\u2019s Message to Gaby Moreno on Her Broadway Role\t<\/h2>\n \n\tIn a heartfelt Instagram story earlier this week, Guatemalan music legend Ricardo Arjona celebrated singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno on her role as Persephone in the award-winning Broadway musical Hadestown<\/em>. \u201cI think taking the photo was forbidden, but I couldn\u2019t resist. My little compatriot shining on Broadway,\u201d wrote Arjona on alongside a photo of the two warmly embracing. He continued, \u201cImmensely proud, Gaby. Of how much you are and of how much you don\u2019t know you are. My favorite in this masterpiece.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tMoreno, playing Persephone through the end of August, reflected on her casting in a previous Billboard Espa\u00f1ol<\/em> interview: \u201cI still don\u2019t understand how or who it was that put my name on the list, but about a year ago, my manager got an email asking if I was available to play the role of Persephone on Broadway. I thought it was a joke at first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
