Chino & Nacho is a Venezuelan pop music pair consisting of Jesús Alberto Miranda Pérez (known as Chino) and Miguel Ignacio Mendoza Donatti (Nacho). They received a Latin Grammy Award in 2010 for Best Urban Album with their work Mi Niña Bonita.
History
Prior to forming this duo, both Chino and Nacho were part of the Venezuelan merengue boy band Calle Ciega. This group produced five albums and achieved notable radio success with tracks such as "Mi Cachorrita." Calle Ciega combined elements of reggaeton, salsa, and merengue in their music but eventually dissolved, which led to the establishment of Chino & Nacho alongside Los Cadilacs.
In 2008, Chino & Nacho released their first album, Época de Reyes, which was distributed throughout Venezuela and other Latin American countries. Their discography includes five albums: Época de Reyes, Mi Niña Bonita, Mi Niña Bonita: Reloaded, Supremo, and Radio Universo.
The duo has been honored with several Pepsi Venezuela Music Awards, receiving accolades such as Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year in 2012; Video of the Year in 2013; Theme of the Year in 2015; as well as Artist of the Year, Tropical Fusion Artist of the Year, and Theme of the Year in 2017.
On February 24, 2017, Chino & Nacho declared their separation to focus on individual careers and explore diverse musical genres. They reunited in March 2020, marking their comeback with the single "Raro," their first release following a three-year break.
