Natanael Cano Launches High-Stakes Treasure Hunt in Mexico City
Natanael Cano is putting fan loyalty to the test — and the reward is huge. The música mexicana star recently announced a treasure-hunt-style activation in Mexico City tied to the rollout of his next album, with 1 million Mexican pesos (about $57,195) going to the first fan who completes the challenge. Beginning July 25 at 11 a.m. local time, fans in CDMX will follow a series of clues leading from one QR code to the next, advancing step by step until a winner emerges. The grand-prize recipient will secure the cash reward, gain early access to the album release date, and earn entry to both Cano’s next Mexico City concert and his exclusive listening party.
In his message to fans, Natanael Cano emphasized that this challenge is designed for those who have supported him from the beginning. “This is for the ones who’ve been solid since day one,” he shared on Instagram, adding, “Because this has never been just mine. It’s always been yours.”

This tribute was part of her Camina Con La Loba initiative, organized in collaboration with the NYC Mayor’s Office.
“So much of what made this World Cup special is the work that most fans never see: the thousands of hotel rooms kept clean, all of the stadiums that worked so smoothly,” Shakira said in a statement shared exclusively with Billboard. “I wanted to show my gratitude for the people of New York City who made this incredible experience possible.”
