"La Chona" is a song by Mexican norteño band Los Tucanes de Tijuana. It was first released on 19 June 1995, as part of the band's album Me Robaste el Corazón (1995), later being released as a single in 1997. Written by lead vocalist Mario Quintero Lara, the song attained virality in 2018 following its usage in Internet memes and "La Chona Challenge".
Background and writing
Mario Quintero Lara, lead vocalist and songwriter for the band, wrote "La Chona" in five minutes after one of his friends, who was an announcer of a radio station in Ensenada, Baja California, requested that he should write it so that he could play it on the station. Written about the friend's wife, he was not sure if he wanted to include the song on the band's album Me Robaste el Corazón, considering it an unimportant song.
Release and reception
"La Chona" was first released on 19 June 1995 as the sixth track from the album Me Robaste el Corazón. In 2018, the song went viral on social platforms through "La Chona Challenge"; similar to the "Kiki Challenge", a person exits a moving vehicle and dances on a road to the song.
