Album Review

"Although I play a lot of guitar in my shows," writes Charo in a handwritten letter that accompanies press copies of her album Charo and Guitar, "I am still mostly recognized as the cuchi-cuchi girl." This is true. It is also true, however, that the bubbly stage and TV personality studied classical Spanish guitar with Andrés Segovia and that her 1995 album Guitar Passion won the Female Pop Album of the Year award at the Billboard International Latin Music Conference. It is these aspects of her career, not the wiggling figure in the tight dress familiar from television, that are emphasized on Charo and Guitar, which presents her instrumental versions of well-known flamenco and classical guitar pieces. Co-producer Joe DiBlasi is also credited with guitar on the album, so it's impossible to tell who's playing what, but the playing is undeniably accomplished, enough so that one might be tempted to attend a live performance by Maria Rosario Pilar Martinez Molina Baeza (okay, Charo) to hear what she can do, as well as see.

Customer Reviews

Charo is excellent!

I was on a cruise and Charo performed. I was blown away by her talent as a guitarist. I have played the piano since I was five and have also had guitar lessons. I've worked for churches and accompanied many choral groups and I have heard many performances by many musicians over the years but her passion and her talent combined surpass many of the collegiate and professional guitar players out there today. Listen to the samples and you will get a great feel for her talent. She is a truly talented lady.

Amazing

If you love guitar, this is phenomenal. I have seen Charo twice in concert and her dedication to classic guitar, passion for the music, and charisma can be felt in this album, though nothing will replace her live.

We saw Charo perform Bolero on a cruise a few years back and were very impessed, We've been searching for the album ever since. We're so glad to find it here.

Biography

Born: January 15, 1951 in Murcia, Spain

Genre: Latino

Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s

Spanish spitfire Charo is instantly recognizable with her big blonde hair, her tight and flamboyant clothes that leave little of her voluptuous figure to the imagination, and most of all, her jubilant, jiggling "coochie, coochie" (an interjection that Charo, with a laugh, admits has no real meaning) spoken with a thick Castilian accent. Though her image is that of the consummate bimbo, there is much more to Charo than meets the eye. She is a gifted comedienne who prides herself on putting on shows...
