Grupo Frontera political controversy

The American regional Mexican band Grupo Frontera has been involved in a controversy due to an alleged endorsement of the politician and current United States president Donald Trump since early 2025, after a video of one of the vocalists' relatives performing a "Trump dance" to the Village People's "Y.M.C.A." went viral. Despite answers in an interview with El País, fans and Mexican users called it an endorsement of Trump from the group, and discovered a deleted video on TikTok of them dancing to the same song and interviews with some members. Considering them clear evidence of the accusations, the users started to cancel and boycott the band on social media, calling them "traitors" and asking for a cancellation of one of their festival performances through Change.org.

The band responded twice to the controversy in February 2025 through Instagram denying any endorsement, responding to other accusations and confirming their support of the Mexican community, declarations that received mainly negative reactions from public, arguing that they were only an attempt to maintain the group's reputation among fans. The controversy also received attention from Pepe Aguilar's sons, Emiliano and Leonardo Aguilar, and online media.
