Their story

Rosalino "Chalino" Sánchez Félix was a Mexican singer and composer. Posthumously called "The King of Corrido", Sánchez is often considered the most influential Mexican narcocorrido singer of the late twentieth century. His songs mostly contained stories of murder and organized crime in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Northern Mexico, including topics such as the Mexican Revolution, drug cartels, drug trafficking, serial killers, Mexican standoffs, and murder–suicides. He also composed and sang romantic and radio-friendly songs.
