His sister Juana was raped by a local "mafioso" who lived nearby, prompting Chalino to react by killing the man. When he was six years old his father died, throwing his family into turmoil. From an early age Chalino experienced tragedies and poverty. He had seven siblings: Armando, Lázaro, Régulo, Lucas, Espiridión (El Indio), Francisco, and Juana. His father was Santos Sánchez and his mother Sannorina Felix. Most importantly, he was able to recover from his father's death, and kept transmitting his father's music to keep his memory alive - and I greatly admire him for that.Rosalino "Chalino" Sánchez (Aug– May 16, 1992) was a Mexican singer and songwriter.īorn and raised in a poor family on a ranch called "Las Flechas", Badiraguato, Sinaloa, Mexico. In addition, he never let fame get to his head. He worked hard to be able to support his family and to help other people as well. In conclusion, Adan is my hero because he never gave up, even after being rejected so many times, in the process of accomplishing his dreams. This showed how much Adan was loved and admired by the people. Little did she know that more than 35,000 people would attend his funeral. His mother decided to bring his body back to Los Angeles for his funeral. We couldn't believe that our idol had died. This news was really hard for all his fans - including me. What's really ironic is that he died 10 minutes away from where his father was killed. Little did his fans know that exactly a week after his concert he would die in Sinoloa, Mexico, in a tragic accident. He never let his fame get to his head even after his outstanding performance in the Kodak Theater. He also kept in touch with his fans and helped the ones in need. He would regularly attend and participate in organizations and concerts, then donate the money earned. Adan cared a lot for his fans and his community. In his presentations he was known for his beautiful smile, charisma, and because he would always make a tribute to his father to keep his memory alive. He became really handsome and became really popular among 10-30 year old girls. Little did the radio stations that rejected him know that he was soon to become a hit, in a short period of time.Īs he grew up not only did his voice change, but his physical traits did too.
He worked hard and was rejected many, many times until he went to a famous Los Angeles radio station called, "La Que Buena." There they gave him a chance because they believed in his talent. Adan was rejected many times, but he never gave up he was determined to accomplish his dreams. His mother took him to many radio stations when he was only 9 years old to see if they would give him a chance and play his music in the station. Adan then realized that it wasn't going to be easy. He wanted to begin his career as a singer to support his mother and his sister. Not only did he have to face the fact that his father had died, but he had to see his mom in a stage of depression caused by losing her husband and by not knowing how she was going to go on with her life and how she was going to support her family.Īs the man of the house, he decided to follow his father's footsteps since he was his role model. Chalino's death was a very difficult stage in Adan's life as well as for his family. He was soon to become very famous among the people. When he got here, he started writing songs and later started singing them. His father was a singer who came to this country to look for a better future for his family. When he was only 8 years old his legendary father, Chalino Sanchez, was murdered in Sinaloa, Mexico. Adan truly had a kind heart.Īs a child, Adan had to go through many difficult situations. He also participated in concerts, and then he donated his earnings to people who didn't have food or or a place to live. As a singer he helped many organizations that helped children with cancer. By being such a wonderful person and through his actions, he's earned my love and respect, and I'm proud to consider him my hero. Also, to me, a hero is someone I can look up to - in other words, a role model.
To me, a hero is a person who does something great, admirable, and even something out of the ordinary. The word hero has varying definitions to different people.
