Gabito Ballesteros, the stage name of Gabriel Ballesteros Abril, is one of the most prominent performers of the so-called Corridos Tumbados. A musical subgenre that mixes sounds of regional Mexican music with trap and reggaeton.
The "singer-songwriter" from Sonora has managed to stand out by collaborating with other figures of the Mexican buchona lifestyle such as Peso Pluma Tito Double P. Who have been threatened in Sinaloa, as well as other states, by cartels opposed to those supported by these "singers."
