Luis Gerardo Garza Cisneros (; born 19 September 1979), better known by his stage name Chetes (), is a Mexican rock musician, known as the frontman of the Avanzada Regia rock bands Zurdok and Vaquero as well as for his solo work.
Biography Chetes was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico. He joined the fledgling rock band Zurdok in 1993 and went on to record three albums with them. The group broke up in 2002, and in 2005, Chetes, along with former Zurdok bandmate Maurizio Terracina, created the band Vaquero, together with Rodrigo Guardiola. They released a self-titled album the same year.
In 2005, Chetes recorded a cover of Miguel Bosé's song "Si Tú No Vuelves" with the Spanish duo Amaral, which was released on their 2005 album, Pájaros en la cabeza. A year later, he issued his debut solo record, Blanco Fácil. This was followed by Efecto Dominó in 2008 and Hipnosis in 2010. Chetes has also composed soundtracks for the films El Comediante (2022) and Sobriedad me estás matando (2026).
