Musicians playing in Zona Dorada establishments are complaining that the office of the Official Mayor is interfering with their work.
The complaint arises from a notice from the municipality dated February 26, 2015 sent to owners of music venues or those in charge of hiring musicians advising them they need permits.
The notice, signed by Official Mayor Salvador Reynosa Garzón, states that musicians who play in establishments that promote, publicize and hold live musical events must also identify themselves to receive a permit costing 500 pesos annually.
Musicians affected by the notice have demanded an explanation as to where the permit money will go and why they need one.
The notice also stated that each establishment that offers live music will have to solicit a “show” permit that can cost up to 16,000 pesos annually.
Those playing in various places in the Zona Dorada pointed out they pay taxes and declared it unjust that they must pay extra. One musician who did apply to the municipality for a permit was charged 735.63 pesos and was given a receipt for “use of public streets” when, he said, he worked indoors in an establishment.
