A REAL Outlaw Musician: The Ballad of Chalino Sánchez
There is gangsta rap, there are murder ballads, and then... There is Chalino Sánchez.
The real life outlaw who turned the chaos of the Mexican cartel into song. In this episode of Tape Spaghetti, Blake and Scott unravel the brief, violent life of the Godfather of Narcocorridos.
After committing a bloody act of vengeance at the age of fifteen, Chalino Sánchez found his calling while serving time, taking tales of his and his fellow inmates’ criminal hustles and spinning them into song. Sánchez’s ballads became the soundtrack of cartel culture and solidified him as an underground icon – but with fame came extreme danger.
After surviving one onstage attempt on his life, Sánchez was handed a mysterious note at his next concert – the last time he was seen alive. Is Chalino Sánchez the realest outlaw artist of all time?
Here’s how Mexico’s most dangerous troubadour created a genre and claimed immortality.
