Chencho Pérez, a 19-year-old from Guadalupe, grew up immersed in norteño music, influenced by family traditions. His mother played artists like Ramón Ayala, igniting his passion. Norteño's unique sound stems from its instrumentation, particularly the bajo quinto, which differentiates it from other regional styles like sierreño. Pérez and his brother, guided by their musically inclined father, formed a band in their teens. Despite a hiatus during the pandemic, Pérez used the time to enhance his skills and continue sharing his musical heritage.
Norteño has a unique instrumentation that sets it apart from other types of Mexican regional music, especially the bajo quinto, which gives it a distinct sound.
Growing up, my mom would always put on norteño artists; so I've always had a passion for that type of music. It's part of my childhood.
Norteño is different from sierreño, which features other instruments. The conjunto includes accordion and bajo quinto, while sierreño doesn’t.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to stop playing music, but I used that time to expand my skills into songwriting and music production.
