Some of the songs Adán performed were: "“Necesito Un Amor” (I Need A Love), “Morenita” (Little Dark One), “Paloma Negra” (Black Dove), “Fui Tan Feliz” (I Was Very Happy), “Dicen” (They Say)," and "“Me Canse De Morir Por Tu Amor” (I Got Tired of Dying For Your Love)." Adán also performed a medley of some of his father’s greatest hits, accompanied by images projected on large screens above the stage. "Getting to perform at this international venue is perhaps one of the biggest dreams ever and to date, the biggest challenge I’ve faced in my musical career." “I don’t think there are enough words to describe what I’m feeling at this time," Adán stated when the show was announced. If people notice similarities in my voice or movements, then I guess it’s in my genes." He was promoted by the famous radio station "La Que Buena"Īdán made history on Mawhen he became the youngest headliner and first Regional-Mexican recording artist to practically sell out the world-famous Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. What I really want to do is record my own songs in my own particular style, without having to copy my father. "I think a lot of people continue recording my father’s songs, and I do it as well, but I don’t over do it like others.
“I try to set my own path by singing my own songs," Adán stated in 2003 after signing with major Latin recording label Univision Music Group. But Adán was also able to widen the genre's popularity even further to teenage girls, thanks to his teen idol persona and focus on contemporary romantic ballads instead of the edgier themes of crime and drugs covered by his father. As he grew into his teens, the majority of Adán's album titles began to revolve around the loss of his father - such as "La Corona de Mi Padre (The Crown of My Father)," and "Homenaje a Mi Padre (Homage to My Father)." These references gave Adán credibility in the Banda music scene, where the macho image and untimely death of his father had stirred a resurgence of popularity among young Mexican-American men. Also notable is the album's rousing title track, which evokes the classic style of celebrated ranchera singers from Mexico's Golden Age. Īdán recorded his first full-length album in 1994, entitled "Soy el Hijo de Chalino (I'm the Son of Chalino)" - notable for the 10-year-old's brash and assertive vocals. He took up singing corridos under his father's same nickname, "Chalino", and gained a strong local following among Mexican-American teenagers. Raised by his mother in Paramount, CA, Adán began walking in his lost father's footsteps at a very early age. Adán was eight years old when his father was kidnapped and killed in the Mexican state of Sinaloa in 1992, causing a stir in the Regional-Mexican Music industry and attracting huge media attention. He was the son of famous narcocorrido singer Rosalino "Chalino" Sánchez. Adán Santos Sánchez Vallejo ( ApMarch 27, 2004), was a popular Mexican-American singer.Īdán was born in Torrance, CA.
