Chavalada is a colloquial Spanish term referring to a group of young people or youngsters. It's a less common word in song lyrics compared to more generic terms for people.
In this song, it's used in a shout-out: "Saludazo a toda la plebada Y arriba la chavalada, compa Chacho Fernández." This phrase translates to something like, "Big greetings to all the crew and up with the youth!" It adds a touch of regional flavor and camaraderie, making it an interesting word for learners.
This is a corrido (a traditional Mexican storytelling ballad) about a tough, widely respected figure people call Nemesio. The singer describes him as someone who has earned respect over the years, stays devoted to his daughters, and won't back down if challenged.
The track is a collaboration between Luis R Conriquez and El Fantasma, both well known names in the Regional Mexican corridos scene, and the two trade shoutouts to each other partway through the song.
Corridos like this one continue a long tradition of Mexican ballads that tell stories about real or legendary people, often built around themes of loyalty, toughness, and reputation.
