Chucho is a Latin jazz tune written and performed by Paquito D'Rivera. It was released in 1981 on the album Blowin' and runs about 4 minutes and 15 seconds. The piece is a tribute to D'Rivera's friend Chucho Valdés, the Cuban pianist, and it showcases a bebop-influenced Latin jazz vibe with D'Rivera on saxophone and clarinet. Blowin' marked an early CBS release that helped establish D'Rivera's Latin jazz voice.
