Negro Como La Pantera plunges us into the nocturnal world of Chino Pacas and Calle 24, where the streets of Guanajuato vibrate with the rumble of armored trucks and rapid-fire corridos. The narrator cruises with four fearless friends, black hood pulled low so only his eyes shine through, an AK (the cuerno) on his shoulder and a scapular on his chest for spiritual backup. Sirens mix with radio chatter, and every verse feels like a slow-motion ride-along through territory fiercely protected by the clika belicosa.
Beneath the swagger, the song sketches an unwritten code: loyalty to the crew, respect for the hometown, and constant vigilance in a life where danger and pride walk side by side. “Negro como la pantera” is more than a color; it is a persona—stealthy, lethal, and unapologetically confident. Chino Pacas salutes his allies, taunts his rivals, and turns the everyday tension of the Mexican underworld into an anthem that is equal parts adrenaline rush and cultural snapshot.
Cristian Humberto Ávila Vega, known professionally as Chino Pacas, is a rising Mexican singer and songwriter from Apaseo el Alto, Guanajuato. Born in 2006, he specializes in the urban sierreño style of regional Mexican music, blending traditional corrido elements with modern sounds that resonate with younger audiences.
Chino Pacas gained international attention in 2023 with his viral debut single "El Gordo Trae El Mando," which made him the youngest Mexican artist to enter the Billboard Hot 100 at just 16 years old. Since then, he has continued to innovate, collaborating with artists like Calle 24 and Fuerza Regida, and signing with Geffen Records to release his debut album, Que Sigan Llegando las Pacas (2024). His unique deep voice and fresh approach are helping redefine the genre for a new generation.
