It Will Surprise You: Natanael Cano’s Corridos’ Chilling Relationship to Santeria and Freemasonry

On March 28, Mexican singer Natanael Cano, together with his colleague Dan Sánchez, released a song called “As above, so below”, for which they immediately became among the most listened to on different platforms. And it is that it is not a lie when we say that “El Nata”, as they affectionately call him, has positioned himself as the greatest exponent of the genre called “lying corridors”, get to work together with artists like Bad Bunny or Alejandro Fernández. However, beyond fame and controversy, the performer’s single gives something to talk about because of its letters and symbols that appear in the associated clip. with Santeria and Freemasonry.

It all starts with the title of the tube “As Above So Below”. It should be remembered that this phrase is linked to a philosophical-religious tradition known as Hermeticism, where the main character is identified as Hermes Trismegisto or even Hermes “Three times great”, of Hellenistic Egypt and Greece. In this context, there is a book closely related to metaphysical schools of thought called “The Kybalion”, from 1908, written by “The Three Initiates”.

Going back to Natanael Cano’s video, in the clip you can see how 3 men are sitting, one is Cano, another is Dan Sánchez and the third is a hooded man. This book summarizes the teachings or principles of Hermeticism. At the beginning of the correspondence appears the sentence: “As above, so below”.

Although the writing dates from 1908, the thought was popular much earlier. Even medieval alchemists used the Hermetic phrase and principles. What continues to spark debate is whether Hermes Trismegistus existed, since there was a kind of religious syncretism between Greece and Egypt. His writings continue to be analyzed for verify its authenticity or whether other people have impersonated Hermès.

The closest interpretations of the phrase “As above, so below” refer to “what happens on a higher plane, happens on a lower plane”, i.e. a higher plane as that spiritual realm and a lower plane a physical world. What happens in one can happen in the other.

Nathanael Cano and Santeria

The singer’s relationship with this belief began when in the previous song he mentions “His necklaces below happened to me”, which for many was a mistake for the Yoruba religion, known popularly as “Santeria”. And it’s strange since in the song of “CH and Pizza”, with Fuerza Regidathe native of Hermosillo mentions “It’s not about the cult but I wear the necklaces.”

For the anecdote, some time after having sung it, the interpreter of “Amor Tumbado” was the victim of an accident on a motorcycle causing leg injuries. Later, in a live, the young Mexican revealed that he did not want to sing this song, he also assured that the beliefs of Santeria were linked to demons. “I don’t like to sing for necklaces, I don’t want to represent this flag”, said.

Nata’s words reached the ears of Aldo Trujillo, a regional singer, who publicly declared that he believed in the Yuruban religion. What caught the attention of Cano fans was Trujillo’s reaction. “Okay, I’m going to do some witchcraft, I want them to put it in their cauldron, it’s disrespectful, because we’re not messing with anyone,” he said.

For his part, Dan Sánchez, who also appeared in the song “As Above, So Below” He said that this letter is for those who call themselves “believers and only do it for fashion”, leaving the discussion between the fans of the Mexican regional, very followers of the genre.

Also with Freemasonry

Natanael Cano’s song was recorded in the facilities of the Grand Lodge of the State of Nuevo León. At the start of the video you can see the triangle with the star and in the area where they sit you can see day on the left and night on the right.

One of the symbols that appear in the clip is the “all-seeing eye” or “eye of providence”, which was initially a Christian symbol and was later associated with with the Illuminati power groups. Another case that appears in Nata’s video is that a bible open to psalm 133 which reads: “How wonderful is brotherly love. Our unity in the service of God and our enduring and deep Christian friendships are a gift of the holy spirit infused in our hearts, love one another so that the world believes.”
