History
Before making a duo, Chino and Nacho were both part of a boy band Calle Ciega. That was where they started their musical career, and released five albums, and had their hit single, Mi Cachorrita. They gained a lot of airplay in Venezuela and surrounding countries. The group fought for having more publicity than other Venezuelan groups like 3 Dueños and others, and Calle Ciega had the most airplay.
The group had musical genres, though most reggaeton, and liked to mix salsa and merengue with reggaeton. The group later stopped releasing singles, and eventually broke up into what is now Chino & Nacho and Los Cadilacs. Chino y Nacho created their first album debut nationwide in the year 2008, becoming known in their country: Venezuela.
Their first album, named Época de Reyes, was finally released in 2008; it was available in many Latin American countries. They released 5 albums in total being Época de Reyes, Mi Niña Bonita, Mi Niña Bonita: Reloaded, Supremo and Radio Universo.
Amid rumors, the duo announced their break up on February 24, 2017 citing solo careers and different musical tastes. [1]
