Starting his music career at a young age and achieving remarkable accomplishments, Chencho Corleone is also a trailblazer in his own field, thanks to his profound understanding of the changes in the music industry. From the outset, he recognized that the industry had diversified in various aspects.
“I believe one of the most significant changes is the format in which music is consumed. In the beginning, physical discs were the primary format for listening to music, and then came the digital era where people could choose to buy the entire album or an individual song in .mp3 format. Later, non-interactive streaming arrived, where listeners would download an app, and the app would recommend music based on their preferences”.

The streaming platforms, where listeners can choose what they want to hear and create their own playlists, have played a significant role in the development and current status of Reggaeton music genre (a popular electronic music genre originating from Panama in the late 1980s).
Another significant difference, as pointed out by Chencho Corleone, is the presence of international artists singing Reggaeton, something that wasn’t seen before. This is a part of the genre’s development and has helped it secure an important position by inspiring many to adopt its rhythm, language, melodies, and themes, making it a favored genre across generations.

With the ambition of creating a comprehensive musical journey from the first track to the last, Chencho Corleone promises to deliver music that embodies his unique style.
“I make music from my perspective, in terms of what I identify with and what I enjoy when listening to a rhythm. That’s why my songs lean more towards dancing, experiences, imagination, and a combination of rhythm and lyrics that bring satisfaction when listening and, at the same time, motivate you to dance”.

“First and foremost, I would like to thank them for their genuine loyalty, affection, and support. It’s part of my motivation to give them the best of me and to keep in mind what they expect from me. This album has taken time because I wanted to make sure I meet the expectations of my loyal fans, and I assure them it will be one of their favorites”.
