Early life

Rosalino Sánchez Félix was born on "Las Flechas," a small ranch in Sinaloa. He was the youngest of 7 children. Santos Sanchez (1964) and Senorina Felix (?–1991) were both his parents. Chalino grew up poor and lived a difficult life. Juana's brother, a boy who has always fantasized about becoming a singer, calls him a curious and mischievous boy. Rosalino is his mother's name, but he prefers the term Chalino. Rosalino sounded too feminine for Sanchez, but Sanchez sounded too feminine for her.

When he was 15, his sister was assaulted by "Chapo" Perez. A 17-year-old Chalino saw the man at a party and reportedly shot him in revenge, killing him. Sanchez left Tijuana with his rifle and a Jes' Malverde chain after committing this crime. During his time in Tijuana, he served as a "coyote" (an immigrant smuggler) enforcing refugees into the country.

Chalino himself came into the United States in the same year as an undocumented migrant worker. He began in Oregon and then migrated to Los Angeles to be with his aunt Inglewood, California. He washed dishes, sold cars, and, according to his acquaintances, dealt with modest amounts of marijuana and cocaine. Armando, his older brother, also helped with an immigrant smuggling operation.

Chalino met Marisela Vallejos through his cousin, Rosalba, in 1984; they married in a simple and intimate wedding. Adán Sánchez, the couple's son, died on the way, and Cynthia Sanchez was their second child. They were married before Chalino Sanchez's death in 1992.

Armando was shot and killed in a Tijuana hotel, which inspired Chalino to compose his first correo or ballad. Chalino was arrested around this time. He began to write songs for his fellow prisoners and anyone that wanted to know a tale that was worth sharing. Chalino began earning money through his website, and he would be given weapons and 'presents' by his clients. Lucio Villareal, El Pelavacas, and Jorge "El Coquio" Castro are among his many clients. Chalino was recommended by a tiny group called "Los Cuatro de la Frontera" in Los Angeles's Olympic Boulevard. Angel Mariscal owned San Angel Records and was owned by the artist. Chalino's songs were supposed to be performed by another artist, but Chalino cancelled, so Chalino performed his own songs.

Chalino's first cassette of 15 songs was released in 1989. Chalino stocked tapes at local swapmeets, bakeries,, and a slew of other stores throughout South Central Los Angeles, where he was selling cassettes out of his car trunk. Chalino was linked to Pedro Rivera, another Mexican immigrant, who had opened a small recording studio in Long Beach, California. This studio, Called Cintas Acuario, has allowed young musicians to record for free.

The "prohibited corridos" (corrido prohibido) was pioneered by Chalino and Rivera, as songs that mythologized drug smugglers, murderers, or "valientes" are synonymous with drug smugglers, murderers. The Cintas Acuario roster, which later included Pedro's children, Lupillo, Juan, and the late Jenni Rivera, was not available on radio, but they became the basis of Los Angeles' Latino culture.

Prosecutors from around the Southland were keen to book Chalino at their clubs. Chalino performed his songs in his cadence and Sinaoloan slang, something no major singer had ever attempted to do.

Chalino appeared at the Plaza Los Arcos restaurant and nightclub in the desert city of Coachella, 120 miles east of Los Angeles, on January 25, 1992. According to reports, Chalino was supposed to perform at ten p.m. on the main stage at ten p.m. Around 7 p.m., the event center was at maximum capacity, with four hundred people in attendance.

Chalino began receiving song requests from the audience during his set. Eduardo Gallegos, 32, a local unemployed mechanic from Thermal, California, under the influence of heroin and alcohol, ordered "El Gallo de Sinaloa," which is followed by Gallegos, who jumped up and pulled out a.25 calibre pistol at Chalino shortly before midnight. Chalino retaliation by pulling his 10 mm pistol from his waistband and starting a gun fight.

Gallegos fired Chalino twice in the chest near his armpit, lunging his lung, and one bullet struck accordionist Ignacio "Nacho" Hernandez in the thigh. Chalino's shots missed Gallegos and inadvertently hit Claudio Rene Carranza in the right leg, along the main artery. At John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital, he was later pronounced dead. When ensuing in a brief chase into the crowd below, Sanchez and Gallegos opened fire at each other. Nine to fifteen shots were fired, and around seven more people were reportedly wounded in the exchange. Gallegos was wrestled to the ground by a bystander until Gallegos was shot in the chest with his own pistol until Gallegos was eventually fired in the chest. Both Gallegos and Sanchez had been listed as critical, and they were taken to Desert Regional Hospital in Palm Springs.

Chalino Sanchez, a patient, was in the Hospital for 11 days and was released home without any charges due to a self-defense charge.

Eduardo Gallegos, who survived his wounds, was found guilty of the murder and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

The shooting was a hit on ABC World News Tonight as well as other English- and Spanish-language newspapers. Chalino's sales and radio play gained airplay, but it was not a single, old-fashioned, non-narco song called "Nieves de Enero" that was released. Doors had to close at 6 p.m., 5–6 hours before he was scheduled on stage for his next Los Angeles appearance.
