Panameño del futuro.
CHACO (Carlos Eduardo Goldstein Alemán) is a Panamanian singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist.
Born in Panama to a Panamanian mother and American father, he grew up immersed in the vibrant cultural diversity of the Caribbean, especially through frequent visits to Portobelo. His artistic name originated in the studio when his long hair and rock influences earned him the nickname blending “Charlie” and “Cobain.”
Since fully committing to music in 2022, CHACO has developed a signature sound he defines as “panameño del futuro” — a groove-heavy, cinematic fusion centered on afrobeats and afropop, interwoven with Latin trap, Panamanian dembow, reggaetón, hip-hop, dancehall, and occasional Brazilian funk and experimental textures.
CHACO has performed at MACRO FEST, Panama’s top clubs, and made his international debut in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He collaborates regularly with leading regional producers and musicians while maintaining a strong visual and audiovisual output.
In parallel, he has built an extensive modeling career with international streetwear and fashion brands including F.WAVEZ, GOLDEN ANGELS, LIQUID, OFELIA MEN, VANS, CAROLINA LEMKE BERLIN, FREEDOM MOSES, and MELISSA INTERNACIONAL.
Rooted in authenticity and versatility, CHACO is actively involved in cultural and environmental initiatives such as LA ESCUELITA DEL RITMO in Portobelo, CONCIENCIA VERDE, and MOVIMIENTO MIMAR.
