In partnership with DISCOS ROLASBorn in Brooklyn, NY to immigrant parents from Apatzingan, Michoacan, and Chinantla, Puebla, Chucho Ponce grew up surrounded by rap, cumbia sonidera, and baladas. In high school, he produced hip-hop beats before using his beat-making knowledge to produce cumbia consider. At age 19, he decided to return to his father’s village to follow his cumbia sonidera dreams with his family and childhood friends as Chucho Ponce Los Daddys de Chinantla. Before releasing any albums, sonideros began playing the group’s music, and “Cumbia Primero de Mayo,” became their first underground hit. The first album Bienvenidos a Chinantla (2007) plays tribute to Chucho’s roots. Since then, Chucho Ponce Los Daddys continues to innovate new styles and rhythms that influence other sonidero groups. From the streets of Williamsburg, Bushwick, and Bed-Stuy to the village of Chinantla, Puebla (population 3000), Chucho Ponce Los Daddy's personal background, experiences, and return migration shapes their unique, cosmopolitan sound.
