Through her social networks, the former drummer of the Sonora Palacios, María de los Ángeles Ibarra, denounced acts of attempted sexual abuse by other members of the band between 2014 and 2016.
Firstly, he accused the manager of this time, Mario Zúñiga: “He offered to take me home after a snag. When we arrived we stayed for a while talking and when I approached him to kiss him goodbye this character (Zuñiga) ran my face and stuck his tongue up to my throat. “
Ibarra spoke with the conductor of the orchestra Marty Palacios MoragaBut he did not get the expected response: “He said he absolutely rejected the manager’s attitude, which would separate him from the Sonora, but that he needed time to find a replacement.”
Then he denounced Marvyn Palacios Gamboa, another one of the musicians: “He begins to get closer, trying to kiss me on the neck, which I refused. ‘Yapo if it’s not worth more than 200 km’, he told me justifying himself because he had a partner. He insisted so much that I had to get rid of him ”.
In conversation with CNN ChileIbarra again referred to his complaint: “It has been quite liberating, because some people tell me you were in the Sonora Palacios and they think that I am going to tell them happy stories about that, but they are surprised when I tell them that I had a hard time and that I had to go to therapy.”
“Not everyone is like that, but it is very validated and There is a free warbler to disrespect women as they like ”, added.
Meanwhile, Sonora Palacios’ lawyer, Jacqueline Brown, stated: “We encourage the complainant to channel the complaints through the corresponding channels. Currently the band has female members and there have never been complaints about possible situations of harassment. ”
