A man finds his lover in bed with another man. "Fuiste Mia" ("You were mine"), a slick music video by the Mexican-American singer Gerardo Ortiz, has garnered more than 25 million views on YouTube — and provoked a furious backlash in a country that suffers from an ingrained culture of sexual violence and where killings of women have surged. The 25-year-old Ortiz has a long list of "narcocorridos" — or "narco ballads" — to his credit, a controversial yet hugely popular genre that celebrates the feats of Mexico's drug lords and is banned from the airwaves in many places.
