Cumbia singer L-Gante, whose real name is Elián Ángel Valenzuela, was arrested today in a gated community in Francisco Álvarez, Buenos Aires province, after a man accused him of making threats with a firearm and illegal deprivation of liberty. Torres claims that after the quarrel, members of the Mafily went to his house and assaulted him and his family. The singer is also awaiting trial in another case, in which he was accused of making death threats and injuring a neighbor in General Rodríguez. L-Gante is one of the most popular artists of the “cumbia 420” genre, a mixture of cumbia, trap, and reggaeton whose songs often focus on cannabis culture. Born in General Rodríguez, the singer rose to fame in 2020 with “L-Gante Rkt” in collaboration with Papu DJ.
