about

"Los Chucos Suaves" is the third track to be released off Son Rompe Pera’s upcoming album 'Batuco' which will be released on February 28th 2020.

Lalo Guerrero’s “Los Chucos Suaves” is perhaps the definitive recording of the the short-lived Pachuco music sub-genre from Los Angeles, the late-1940s sound of Mexican Pachuco youth culture.

“Los Chucos Suaves” was an anthem for the Pachuco youths of Los Angeles, young Mexicans who dressed in their baggy zoot suits. Guerrero sang about how these genial youths dropped the jitterbug and the boogie-woogie in favor of Cuban rumba and danzón dances.

The most famous version of the song is by Lalo Guerrero and Ry Cooder, but the Gama brothers and the rest of Son Rompe Pera have come up with this especially uptempo marimba performance with guest vocalist Macha of Chico Trujillo, Bloque Depresivo, Floripondio.

The Naucalpan band devised and shot the video for “Los Chucos Suaves” themselves, to show a little of the barrio of Naucalpan.

lyrics

Carnal póngase abusado
Ya los tiempos han cambiado
Usted está muy agüitado
Y está buti atravesado

Antes se bailaba swing
Boogie-woogie, jitterbug
Pero esto ya torció
Y esto es lo que sucedió

[Estribillo:] x2
Los chucos suaves bailan rumba
Bailan la rumba y le zumban
Bailan guaracha sabrosón
El botecito y el danzón

Cada Sábado en la noche
Yo me voy a borlotear
Con mi linda pachucona
Las caderas a menear

Ella le hace muy de aquellas
Cuando empieza a guarachar
Al compás de los timbales
Yo me siento petetear

(estribillo) x2
