  "account": "Mexico’s Independence Day festivities will be spotlighted by Intocable, the renowned Mexican-American band, as they take center stage at the Zócalo on the eve of Sept. 15. President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the collaboration on Tuesday (Sept. 8) in a video posted on social media, as she walked into the National Palace with Intocable's song “¿Y Todo Para Qué?” playing in the background. The video showcases the band’s concert performances and the iconic square. Intocable will perform after the winners of the second edition of México Canta, a government-sponsored talent contest, at the Auditorio Nacional on Sunday (Sept. 13). This will be the second time the president delivers the traditional Grito de Dolores from the National Palace, commemorating the call for rebellion against Spanish rule made by priest Miguel Hidalgo on Sept. 16, 1810. Intocable’s performance will join a roster of celebrated acts, including Paul McCartney, Justin Bieber, Shakira, Café Tacvba, and Vicente Fernández, all who have graced the second-largest public square in the world. Intocable recently claimed the title of Latin band with the most Diamond certifications under the RIAA’s Latin Program, holding the second-highest overall count. They also unveiled their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the recording category.",
