Chino & Nacho was a Venezuelan pop duo, consisting of Jesús Alberto Miranda Pérez (Chino) (born November 15, 1984) and Miguel Ignacio Mendoza Donatti (Nacho) (born August 22, 1983). In 2010, the group won a Latin Grammy for Best Urban Album for Mi Niña Bonita.

History

Before forming a duo, Chino and Nacho were both part of the Venezuelan merengue boy band Calle Ciega alongside Luifer, Gabo Marquez and Emilio Vizcaino where they started their musical careers. They released five albums, with the hit single, "Mi Cachorrita" on Una Vez Más. Calle Ciega gained significant airplay in Venezuela and surrounding countries. The group fought for having more publicity than other Venezuelan groups like 3 Dueños.

Calle Ciega employed various musical genres, though most reggaeton, and liked to mix salsa and merengue with reggaeton. The group later stopped releasing singles, and eventually broke up into what is now Chino & Nacho and Los Cadilacs. Chino & Nacho debuted their first album nationwide in 2008, circulating in Venezuela and neighboring countries.

Their first album, named Época de Reyes, was released in 2008 and made available in many Latin American countries. They released five albums in total – Época de Reyes, Mi Niña Bonita, Mi Niña Bonita: Reloaded, Supremo and Radio Universo.

They won Pepsi Venezuela Music Awards for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year in 2012,[1] for Video of the Year in 2013,[2] for Theme of the Year in 2015,[3] and for Artist of the Year, Tropical Fusion Artist of the Year, and Theme of the Year in 2017.[4]

Amid rumors, the duo announced their breakup on February 24, 2017, citing solo careers and different musical tastes.[5]
