I just got off the phone with someone from Colombia who never heard the phrase. Nevertheless it seems like a good one to know. Perhaps it's Spain-specific. Thanks all.

Most probably. Not used/heard in Mexico either, but perhaps understood in context.

This is the musical meaning:

Quote:
In 1831, in Lucca, Duprez took part in the premiere Italian performance of Guglielmo Tell, singing for the first time (in an opera theatre) a high C sung not in the so-called falsettone register,[1] as other tenors of that time were accustomed to do, but with a full voice, often described as coming "from the chest".
