Los Titanes De Durango - Ando Arremangando (Beto Sierra)

A Mexican musician said a man mistaken for Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman in his band's music video is not, in fact, the drug lord, but the singer's father, who happens to look like the fugitive.

Los Titanes de Durango, a Mexican norteño music genre group, released a music video in late November titled "Ando Arremangando," roughly translating to "I'm rolling up sleeves." In the video, the five-person music group travels as part of the entourage of a character who appears to be a short, burly, drug boss with his sleeves rolled up and sporting a moustache - similar in appearance to Guzman.

The men in the video celebrate their wealth with booze, cars, weapons and women. What appears to be marijuana wrapped in plastic is also seen in the video - circumstances similar to a lifestyle someone may assume a drug lord would have. A Mexican brass band also makes an appearance.

A rough video (below) taken with a cell phone was released online. Although some believed the low-quality, more-than-a-minute-long clip was truly of Guzman, it was in fact just a recording of the recording of the music video.
