Mexican Singer Chino Pacas Offers a Preview of His Debut Album With ‘Mami Chula’

Mexican Singer Chino Pacas Offers a Preview of His Debut Album With ‘Mami Chula’

Chino Pacas is dedicating his new song “Mami Chula” to “las morritas.” On Thursday night, the Mexican singer released the single set to be featured on his debut album, expected later this year.

“The song is like a corrido with reggaeton. We combined the genres,” Pacas tells Rolling Stone. “In the first verse, ‘I know you’re dying to talk to me and even if you want to convince yourself that you’re not” is an example of what commonly happens in young relationships.”


The singer got fans excited for the single on X earlier this week, sharing a video of him listening to the track while smoking a blunt. “From the creators of ‘Que Onda’ comes ‘Mami Chula,'” he wrote, referencing his massive collaboration with Calle 24 and Fuerza Régida. “For all those that are waiting for the album, I’m dropping this little song for y’all,” Pacas said in a separate video.

The new track follows the release of “Tunechi” alongside Gabito Ballesteros in April. Around that time, Pacas was the only Mexican music act to perform at Rolling Loud California this year. He’s been teasing a full project all year. Pacas is also set to be featured on Peso Pluma’s upcoming LP Éxodo on “Mami.” Pacas shared a photo with Peso and wrote, “It’s coming.”

Last year, he released the Calle 24 collab “Apaga El Cel,” “Elvira” with Oscar Maydon and Ballesteros, and “Qué Onda.” He’s set to perform at Chicago’s Miche Fest — headlined by Kali Uchis and Junior H — on July 14.

Read Courtney Love’s Personal Tribute to ‘True Friend’ Jennifer Finch

Courtney Love and Jennifer Finch were instant friends from the moment they met in the early Eighties, and remained close until Finch’s untimely death at age 59 in July. Before Finch joined the influential punk-metal band L7 and long before Love formed Hole, the women made music together in a band called Sugar Babydoll (or Sugar Babylon, depending on the year) alongside future Babes in Toyland frontwoman Kat Bjelland. They remained close as their careers took off, which is a difficult prospect for touring musicians.

The friends supported each other throughout the years. When Love’s husband, Kurt Cobain, died in 1994, Finch was her rock. And in June, when Love learned that Finch had been diagnosed with brain cancer, she traveled to be by her side and support her until the end.

Becky drove up from San Diego without a ticket.

She parked near the Teragram Ballroom in downtown Los Angeles at 1:03 p.m. on Tuesday, ran to Target, and was back in front of the venue by 2:34 p.m. — nearly six hours before doors, in 90-degree heat, for a show she hadn’t managed to buy her way into. She’d spent weeks watching resale prices climb on this sellout.

Haywire Throw $5,000 Into the Pit to Celebrate New Album

Boston hardcore band Haywire celebrated their signing to Roadrunner Records last weekend not just by opening up the pit at Sound and Fury fest, but by showering it with $5,000 in cash. On Wednesday, they announced their debut album on their new label, I Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye, out Oct 2nd. The first single — and official music video — “Interstate Love Affair” is out now.

The visuals kick off with the band making it rain at the festival, then launches into the kind of raucous antics inherent in early 2000s MTV videos: firecrackers, trashing hotels, sentient amps, the works. The video perfectly captures Haywire’s ethos: fun-as-fuck hardcore, pure and simply.
