The Mexican group Banda El Recodo was placed in the “public eye” after several videos were spread in recent hours, through social networks, where Latin musicians are seen playing in the famous streets of Shibuya, in the Tokyo city, Japan.
In the materials released, you can see the members of the group, dressed in blue suits and white tennis shoes, performing the song “Dos Botellas de Mezcal” on the streets of the Japanese capital. The variety of videos also reveal that the Mexican band took the attendees by surprise, who are seen taking photos and watching the performance, because there was no type of stage or platform.
Due to the above, and due to the lack of information, it is believed that the musicians simply decided to take Center Gai Street, in Shibuya, and start playing.
🚨It turns out that the El Recodo Band is here in Japan and well, yesterday while walking through Shibuya as they were returning from an event it occurred to them to do a mini show right there in the street and they say the bad news that the police stopped them 👮♀️ 🤦🏻 ♀️ 🚨 #bandaelrecodo Although they sound great 🙌🏻 pic.twitter.com/aIjSMOZ4ie

What did the Japanese police do about the improvised concert?
After a few moments of playing live, and thanks to the variety of videos, you can see how a local police officer appears, who seems to tell the group to stop playing.
Given this, you see and hear how the members of Banda El Recodo raise their shoulders and hands to the attendees as a sign that they will not be able to continue with the show due to the presence of the police.
The group’s improvised presentation divided social networks in just a few hours. A large number of users and followers of the band reacted to the material by mentioning the pride they felt in seeing their favorite musicians in that country. Meanwhile, others revealed that the band’s action is a reflection of the “party soul” of Mexicans.
However, and despite the diversity of comments in favor, another group of Internet users did not fail to show their disagreement with what was done by the Banda El Recodo, to the point of mentioning that they gave a bad image of Mexico to the world.
It was even mentioned that the group could be fined or punished for “disturbing public order.” So far, and after the “show”, the group has not mentioned anything about it.
Banda El Recodo is in Japanese territory as part of its participation in the Camino a Latinoamérica Festival, which takes place at the Odaiba Esplanade in Tokyo, on the occasion of Golden Week. Therefore, the Mexican group will perform on May 4 in the Japanese capital.
