Former Sinaloa Cartel Leader 'El Chapo' Guzmán Reportedly Aspired to be a Singer
Lucero Guadalupe Sánchez, known as the 'Chapodiputada' due to her past relationship with Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, has revealed new personal details about the former Sinaloa Cartel leader. In an interview with content creator Jonathan Jovan Vest Samano, Sánchez stated that Guzmán, currently serving a life sentence in the ADX Florence prison in Colorado, United States, once expressed a desire to be a musician if he hadn't entered organized crime. Specifically, he reportedly wished to be part of Banda El Recodo, a renowned Mexican band. This interest is noted as not coincidental, given that both Guzmán, born in La Tuna, Badiraguato, Sinaloa, and Banda El Recodo, formed in El Recodo, Mazatlán, Sinaloa, share the same state of origin. Guzmán, 69, began his criminal career cultivating marijuana and poppies, eventually becoming one of the world's most powerful and sought-after criminals. He was captured three times, with his final arrest leading to his current incarceration.
