The night before the events, Ernesto Barajas used his Instagram account, where he had more than 1.5 million followers, to share a series of stories that reveal details about his routine, his circle of friends, and the release of his new music.

The first video published by Barajas shows him riding in a luxury SUV, showing off a watch, while a corrido plays in the background:

“Wherever the ball goes, it’s going to open up. Because they walk to greet the man and greet him. That donkey has already pricked up his ear, my friend. To describe my tune in his song. Today I sing to the one who writes the corridos, but now I’ve written it for him.”
