Note from the producer:

This podcast has been one of my most personal projects to date. Growing up in South Los Angeles, Chalino’s music was everywhere. I would often hear his music out of the loud speakers of cars passing by or at a family gathering once the party vibes were at their peak. Chalino represented street life, but also Mexican culture in L.A. The fine line his legacy played for Mexican Angelenos is second to none. When I was told I would be a producer for this series in both English and Spanish, I was ecstatic. I was tasked to oversee the end-to-end production of the podcast. This would be my first time in such a position. We had a lot of fun during the production of this project, from the research phase to writing original music. Chalino has created another everlasting memory for me. I hope you have also enjoyed listening to it as much as I enjoyed producing it.

“We examine Chalino’s extraordinary life and attempt to unravel the mystery of his death. Chalino’s story—his own narcocorrido—is the ultimate ride through the drug cartel world, the underbelly of the Mexican-American music industry, and a murder mystery for the ages. Idolo: The Ballad of Chalino Sánchez is a podcast by Sonoro and Futuro Media.”
