Chencho Corleone’s ‘Lo Caro y Lo Bueno’ Fires Up the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards

Chencho Corleone was present, and in action, at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards that aired Sunday (Oct. 20) via Telemundo. 

Following performances by Fuerza Regida, Pepe Aguilar, Gloria Trevi & Maria Becerra, and Yandel, to name a few, the Puerto Rican artist brought his urban-cumbia fusion to center stage with “Lo Caro y Lo Bueno”—a song about a woman who’s independent and enjoys the finer things in life. 

Wearing an oversized buttoned shirt, matching trousers, and large sunglasses, Corleone was joined by a group of sensual dancers while he sang: “She likes the expensive and the good / she likes the party, the rumba, and rakata.” 

“Lo Caro y Lo Bueno” forms part of Corleone’s debut studio album SOLO that he released five years after parting ways from popular early 2000s reggaetón duo Plan B. Home to 18 songs, the set stays faithful to Chencho’s characteristic vocals and futuristic perreos such as “Menta,” “Good Times” and “District.” In addition to experimenting with cumbia in “Lo Caro y Lo Bueno,” Corleone also has an electronic track called “Himalaya.”
