[3] Luis Pérez Meza, whose given name was Ignacio (he changed it to that of a brother who died prematurely) was born in La Rastra, in the municipality of Cosalá, Sinaloa.
The duo "Chico and Nacho" became a quintet when Francisco Sandoval and his brothers Luis and Emilio joined the group, which they named "Los Parrangos" and which lasted a short time.
They were not easy times for Luis who after much wandering playing in bars and family parties obtained recognition in the XEW, thanks to his inclusion in the program "Fiesta Ranchera" hosted by Matilde Sánchez, "La Torcacita".
In 1945 he traveled to the islands of Guam and Iowa in the Philippines and to Hawaii to sing for the Mexican soldiers of Squadron 201 that participated in World War II.
He was co-founder of the National Association of Actors (ANDA), and in 1948 he filmed " Allá en el Rancho Grande " with Jorge Negrete, under the direction of Fernando de Fuentes.
It was in 1951-52 when he decided to sing country music with Banda sinaloense: the first two songs he performed in that style were India bonita and El sauce y la palma.
