		Vargas was born Isabel ("Chavela") Vargas Lizano to Herminia Lizano and Francisco Vargas on April 19, 1919 in the province of Santa Bárbara de Heredia, Costa Rica, which is nestled between Nicaragua and Panama.
		Vargas became famous in the mid-1960s for her hallmark interpretations, frequently melodramatic and heart-wrenching, of sentimental Mexican songs.
		Vargas has come to be known as "the woman with the red poncho," as the Spanish singer Joaquín Sabina dubbed her, as well as "the queen of Mexican song." She shares this latter accolade with Mexico's greatest popular singers: Lola Beltrán, Angélica María, Juan Gabriel, Lucha Reyes, and Rocío Durcal.

	World Music Legends Chavela Vargas World Music at Global Rhythm - The Destination for World Music
		Isabela Vargas (the Chavela came later) was born in Heredia, Costa Rica in 1919, the daughter of a mess orderly who died young and a woman of good Spanish stock who owned a ranch.
		From the beginning she was a rebellious girl, and at the age of 14 she ran away to Mexico, where she survived by singing on the streets.
		Vargas also appeared on the celebrated soundtrack, singing her own seductive anthem âPaloma Negra,â in addition to the Mexican favorite âLa Llorona.â That in turn inspired the 2003 album Frida, featuring rancheras from such legends as JosÃ© Alfredo JimÃ©nez, Carlos Gardel, and, of course, Vargas herself.

	Chavela Vargas
		Isabel Vargas Lizano reside de nuevo en su tierra natal de San Joaquín de Flores, en la provincia costarricense de Heredia, luego de vivir gran parte de su vida en México, donde triunfó hacia los años 50 de la mano de "Macorina", una canción de rebeldía del siglo XVII que interpretó con arreglos propios.
		Adolescente, Chavela viajó a México donde llegó a desempeñar distintos oficios, de criada a vendedora de ropa para niños, hasta convertirse en "la Vargas", esa mujer con un estilo particular de interpretar, desenterrando cada frase o -para decirlo con palabras del escritor mexicano Carlos Monsiváis- extrayéndole a las canciones fervores y rencores.
		Chavela, quien ha sido frontal a la hora de hablar de su sexualidad y que señaló que entre sus amores estuvo la pintora Frida Kahlo, dice en su autobiografía: "se dieron cuenta de que yo era homosexual desde muy niña".

	chavela vargas
		Así decía Frida Kahlo a Chavela Vargas en una carta que nunca llegará al público, pero que revela esa devoción que se tributaron una a la otra.
		Y Chavela va deslizando una palabra tras otra, un pensamiento tras otro, con emoción sí pero también con tal ausencia de toda sorpresa, que a uno no le queda otra alternativa que pensar que lo anormal hubiera sido la inexistencia de ese amor.
		Chavela es otro nombre más junto al de tantos que tuvieron que huir de la estrechez de este medio para poder crear y crecer, igual que Zúñiga, igual que Yolando Oreamuno y Eunice Odio, igual que Max Jiménez, igual que José León Sánchez.

		Chavela Vargas sang on the streets of Mexico City for years in the 1950s before she was invited inside, but it's a wonder that she was allowed into nightclubs, concert halls, and eventually, the popular psyche, at all.
		In the 1960s, Vargas' womanizing was almost as legendary as her gut-wrenching alto, which made her the interpreter of choice for legendary songwriters like Jose Alfredo Jimenez.
		But somehow, her unlikely (but undeniable) fame in a profoundly macho and homophobic culture has been largely forgotten-she's become a cultural curio instead of being regarded as one of the most important interpreters of la cancion mexicana (the Mexican ballad) of all time.

		El cineasta Pedro Almodóvar, que ha utilizado la voz de Chavela Vargas en sus filmes, besó el suelo del escenario del Pabellón de Deportes del Real Madrid y pidió silencio a la audiencia antes de entregar a Vargas el Premio Latino de Honor, que solamente han recibido artistas como Raphael y Julio Iglesias.

		Vargas: honey sweet, ripping, belting, trembling, hissing between gritted teeth, growling like a savage wolf - while her fingers from across a schizophrenic yet logical abyss play in melodious counterpoint to the emotional rollercoaster of her voice.
