Chino Pacas is dedicating his new song “Mami Chula” to “las morritas.” On Thursday night, the Mexican singer released the single set to be featured on his debut album, expected later this year.
“The song is like a corrido with reggaeton. We combined the genres,” Pacas tells Rolling Stone. “In the first verse, ‘I know you’re dying to talk to me and even if you want to convince yourself that you’re not” is an example of what commonly happens in young relationships.”
The singer got fans excited for the single on X earlier this week, sharing a video of him listening to the track while smoking a blunt. “From the creators of ‘Que Onda’ comes ‘Mami Chula,'” he wrote, referencing his massive collaboration with Calle 24 and Fuerza Régida. “For all those that are waiting for the album, I’m dropping this little song for y’all,” Pacas said in a separate video.
The new track follows the release of “Tunechi” alongside Gabito Ballesteros in April. Around that time, Pacas was the only Mexican music act to perform at Rolling Loud California this year. He’s been teasing a full project all year. Pacas is also set to be featured on Peso Pluma’s upcoming LP Éxodo on “Mami.” Pacas shared a photo with Peso and wrote, “It’s coming.”
Last year, he released the Calle 24 collab “Apaga El Cel,” “Elvira” with Oscar Maydon and Ballesteros, and “Qué Onda.” He’s set to perform at Chicago’s Miche Fest — headlined by Kali Uchis and Junior H — on July 14.
