Ramon Ayala had few words but let his music do the talking at his first public performance since being arrested in Mexico in December.
Ayala took the stage at Hidalgo's BorderFest with an accordion painted to look like the Mexican flag around 11 p.m. Saturday.
But the Norteño legend didn't speak to his audience during the 45-minute performance.
Instead, Ayala went from song to song in a performance that included favorites such as "Mi Piquito de Oro", "Tragos Amargos" and "Ya No Llores".
Thousands of cheering fans did seem to mind the drizzle coming down as they enthusiastially sang along during the outdoor concert.
Ayala took time to pose for pictures with fans and sign autographs but made no public statements about his recent arrest or any other topic.
The Hidalgo-based musician and members of the groups Los Cadetes de Linares and Grupo Torrente were arrested by Mexican authorities in December.
They were also playing at a Christmas party for the Beltran-Leyva drug cartel in Morelos when a battle with authorities broke out.
Ayala was released for health reasons while the others remained in custody as part of an ongoing investigation.
The Norteño musician's BorderFest concert followed the Wednesday release of three members of Los Cadetes de Linares and one member of Grupo Torrente. |
