Chucho Monge


Jesús Monge Ramírez, better known as Chucho Monge, was a Mexican composer best known for writing traditional songs. Born in Morelia, Michoacán, he is the writer of several well-known songs, including "México Lindo y Querido", "La Feria de las Flores", "Pobre Corazón", and "Cartas Marcadas", among others.
Monge started his musical career competing against other composers like Agustín Lara and Alfonso [Esparza Oteo] in waltz composition contests. Later on, he became a radio artist in XEQ, XEW and XEB stations.
He developed a partnership with Lucha Reyes, who helped popularize his song “La Feria de las Flores”. The song was inspiration for a Disney movie that never happened, for legal reasons.
He co-founded the Sociedad de Autores y Compositores de Música de México, alongside composers Gonzalo Curiel, Alfonso Esparza Oteo, and Tata Nacho.
