Remember “The Cuchi Cuchi Girl” on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson (45+ appearances.)
\nMar\u00eda Rosario Pilar Mart\u00ednez Molina Baeza<\/strong> is also known as Charo<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Charo’s August 5th performance at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas was executed in two parts. In the first half you saw the Charo you know: the comedian, the singer, and all-around show-woman. She was brilliant, funny and spectacular. She sparkled in a red-sequined outfit, singing tunes from her CD’s, such as: “I Will Survive,” and cracking jokes about accents as well as other aspects of the human condition. <\/p>\n

Without a doubt, the most humorous moment came when she spoke of being so poor in her youth that she didn’t have enough to eat – then after achieving success she couldn’t eat because of diets and weight watching – after saying this, she repeatedly “mouthed” the F<\/strong> bomb.<\/p>\n

Accompanied by a troup of Flamenco dancers and a high-power-group of musicians, the first half of the show was fast paced, hard-hitting and well rehearsed. The show’s lighting was an artful display of color and dream imagery. Now I’ll tell you about the positive stuff.<\/p>\n

The second half of the show was about guitar – Flamenco guitar. Charo displayed the mastery that earned her ‘Guitar magazine”s Readers Poll as Best Flamenco Guitarist two years in a row. Her strokes were robust, true and firm; the *”shotgun-tremelo” was flawless. (My pretention here is due to studying a-bit-of classical guitar.)<\/p>\n

Her fingers (both hands) were moving like she was a super-human being. The little-finger, of her left hand, was – relaxed <\/em> – in the precise, classical position. This is something one can only achieve after years of practice.<\/p>\n

The “show stopper” for me was a moving rendition of Ravel’s Bolaro<\/a>, of which you can hear a few bars on Charo’s website.<\/p>\n

According to IMDb, when she was 14, Mar\u00eda Rosario Pilar Mart\u00ednez Molina Baeza<\/strong> won a scholarship to study classical guitar with Andr\u00e9s Segovia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brava Charo!<\/p>\n

Keep tuned to this page, there will soon be a link to a video clip of Charo.
\n*So maybe I’m using a common term…<\/p>\n
