Chacalon y la Nueva Crema
Lorenzo Palacios Quispe, better known by his stage name Chacalón ("Big Jackal"), was a prominent Peruvian singer who rose to fame as the frontman of the chicha group Chacalón y la Nueva Crema. Born on April 26, 1950, in the city of Lima, Chacalón began his musical journey singing huaynos with his brother in local bars and restaurants. After a brief stint with the groups Los Amigos del Barrio and Grupo Celeste in the late 1960s and early 1970s, he teamed up with guitarist José Luis Carballo to form the chicha band Chacalón y la Nueva Crema, which became a symbol of the Andean music scene as well as one of the pioneering acts of the chicha genre. Formed in 1978, the group blended the upbeat rhythms of Peruvian cumbia and Andean folk music with the fuzzed-out guitars of psychedelic rock, creating a unique sound that soon garnered a dedicated following. Their most notable releases include the singles "Lágrima de Amor" (1977), "Soy Provinciano" (1979), and "Por Ella, la Botella" (1981), as well as their 1978 eponymous studio debut, El Soberano de la Cumbia (1982), and ¡Soy Feliz! (1986). Released in 1987 as part of a Radio Inca campaign, his song "Niños Pobres del Mundo" (later included in the 1988 album of the same name) was recognized by UNESCO. Chacalón's music resonated with the urban working class and marginalized communities, earning him the nickname "The Pharaoh of Chicha." Despite facing personal hardships, including a troubled relationship with drugs and alcohol, he remained dedicated to his music and his fans until his untimely death on February 24, 1994, at the age of 43.
