Ramón Ayala and the blackout at La México: what we know about his farewell.
Sound and lights were cut before the finale; accounts differ on who made the call.
What’s new
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, during Ramón Ayala’s farewell show at the Plaza de Toros México, sound and lights were cut before the finale and the crowd was asked to leave, according to testimonies and videos gathered by Infobae and Excélsior.
Why it matters
It was a date on “Historia de un Final,” the accordionist’s farewell tour, with Eduin Caz and Banda El Recodo as guests.
Key facts
- The Benito Juárez borough denied ordering the cut and said it was the production’s decision, according to Infobae and Excélsior.
- Gil Barrera first blamed the mayor on X; he later told EXA the show did not respect the permitted hours, midnight with a 12:15 a.m. grace period.
- His October 16 show in Hermosillo moves to February 6, 2027, at the Palenque de la ExpoGan “for health reasons,” per the statement Infobae cites.
What’s next
Neither Ayala’s production nor the venue has explained the cut. Reports of a hospitalization are not confirmed by his family or his team.
