VIA PRESS RELEASE | Craft Latino proudly announces the first-ever vinyl release of El pávido návido, a defining album from legendary Mexican singer-songwriter Chalino Sánchez. Originally released in 1991 by Discos Musart, the album arrives on vinyl for the very first time on June 12, offering fans a newly remastered edition that preserves the raw power and storytelling that cemented Chalino as El Rey del Corrido.
Available for pre-order today, the reissue features (AAA) lacquers cut from the original analog master tapes by Clint Holley and Dave Polster at Well Made Music, delivering the most faithful and immersive listening experience of this essential recording to date. The release also marks a historic milestone for the album, which until now had only been available on CD and cassette. Additionally, a limited-edition “Azul Metálico (Metallic Blue)” color vinyl variant (only 300 copies) is available as a stand-alone, or a bundle option that includes a premium “Chalino Sánchez x Brown N Proud Legacy” T-shirt, exclusively online at Discosmusart.com.
Additionally, the album will make its debut in stunning hi-res audio on digital music platforms on June 12, with a special instant grat single, “El Pavido Navido” available today.
A deeply personal and musically rich entry in Chalino’s catalog, El pávido návido captures the artist at the height of his storytelling power. Backed by Banda Sinaloense La Flor del Campo—hailing from his home state of Sinaloa—the album blends the thunderous pulse of tambora with Chalino’s unmistakable voice: untrained, unfiltered and deeply human. Across twelve tracks, ten written by Chalino himself, he chronicles the lives of everyday people: immigrants navigating life in the United States, respected figures in small towns and working-class heroes whose stories rarely make headlines.

A record store and music venue can now plan for more sold-out shows after community members stepped up in their time of need. Wax Atlas, located on Harford Road, operates as a used record store by day.
