In memory of the late artists birthday on 30 August, Nieves de Enero by the Godfather of the Corrido, Chalino Snchez, is set for reissue. Featuring (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes, this new reissue will be pressed on 140-gram vinyl.

Nieves de Enero was first released in 1992 on Discos Musart. This classic recording features norteo love ballads Nieves de Enero and Florita del alma, as well as some of Chalinos best narcocorridos, including El Crimen de Culiacn and Hermanos Mata.

The album previously reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart, while the song Alma Enamorada peaked at number 25 on the Billboard Digital Song Sales chart. The recording featured accompaniment by the band Los Amables del Norte.

The fifteen-track album includes the famous title track written by Mario Molina Montes and originally recorded in 1954 by actor/singer from the Golden Era of Mexican film Miguel Aceves Mejia, but its Chalinos version that is most remembered. Other major hits from this album include norteo ballads Florita del Alma and the somber Me Persigue Tu Sombra (Your Shadow Follows Me), but the majority of this lbum features some of Chalinos best corridos that tell some all-too-real tales, including El Crimen de Culiacn, Hermanos Mata, Juan Ayn and Martin Flix.

Chalino dared to create a new style of corrido music that created a wave of renewed interest in the genre. His voice was unique and untrained, but people connected with it. He was real and original, and fans eventually nicknamed him the King of Corridos. Towards the later part of his career, Chalino signed with Musart/Balboa Records where he recorded some of his greatest albums, Alma Enamorada and Nieves de Enero, which included massive hits, Nieves de Enero, Alma Enamorada, Prenda del Alma, Los Chismes, El Pitalln, El Navegante, Una Tarde and El Pvido Nvido before his tragic death.
