El El Cool Jane

“Riding in a black SUV with tinted windows, lawyer Mariel Colón rolls up to the gates of a remote mansion, strolling past a security guard side-by-side with Emma Coronel, the wife of notorious drug lord Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán. Sporting suits and sunglasses, the pair stride into a dimly lit room full of slickly dressed men smoking cigars. All to the roar of trumpets. The scene is from ‘La Señora,’ the latest music video from Colón, who spent several years working as a defense lawyer for Guzmán while he faced trial in a U.S. court. Now, at a time when regional Mexican music is becoming a global phenomenon, the 31-year-old is leveraging her association with the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel to launch her music career under the stage name of ‘Mariel La Abogada’ (Mariel, the Lawyer).” She defended ‘El Chapo.’ Now this lawyer is using her narco-fame to launch a music career. (I wonder if Alina Habba can sing.)
