One of the most underrated guitar players ever... EVER!!!

[@NaveDelAmor]

Absolutely! She is the one and only Guitartista Charo

[@lyndatietjen5953]

She is a true guitar goddess. She's one of those artists who sends chills down my spine, she's so good.

[@emrsdca]

This woman is AMAZING! Charo does not get the credit she deserves for her mastery of the guitar! Beautiful song!

[@70mjc]

Eva Redondo literally everyone who hears her gives her credit.....

[@dsvet]

She is decent but no where near Paco de Lucia

[@josephcambron7060]

She has NO mastery of the guitar. Everything she plays is meant to fool musical idiots into thinking she knows what she is doing.

This Song Brings Tears From The Heart, Emotional, Heart Wrenching.

[@lyndatietjen5953]

Classic Spanish guitar is extremely difficult to master...and she has. She's a true artist with it and sends chills down my spine. Brava, diva!!!!

[@poetcomic1]

Andre Segovia was her teacher!

[@andyneedham2888]

I’m came here as a drag race fan, seeing Charo pop up every now and then, thinking nothing of the silly lady with plastic surgery. After seeing this I’m a legit Charo fan! Wow. Underrated and overlooked talent!

[@pegynol]

Andre Segovia considered her one of, if not, the best classical guitarist in the world. Google him too. We saw her in concert and she explained that the "Cuchi cuchi" takes her to the bank, but she a classical guitarist is who she is, playing for more hours per day than I can recall.

[@hrdcoremetalchik]

Cool! I just finished watching her on Carol Burnett....Carol was frikken hilarious playing her mom! So I got to searching Charo as i vaguely recall seeing her in the 70s when I was a little girl! But to this day, never realized she was a classical flamenco guitarist! Pretty cool!

[@markrichards6863]

Don't judge a book by its cover. She started out as a serious musician, but got famous for cuchi cuchi, and appearances on The Love Boat. I'm not a huge fan of classical guitar, but appreciate that she is very talented.

[@islgrl292]

She was legit since 16, she studied as a child. Sorry you did that.

[@winniejohnson5559]

Only in the states to the rest of the world she is a world renowned musician

[@XimenaZhaoArchive]

If Charo says it's "a very difficult song," you know that's true. She practices 3 - 4 hours every night in the off-season and has been classically trained by Spanish gypsies and Andres Segovia since age 7. A master of flamenco guitar.

[@erikm8372]

I can relate... I have played violin (fiddle-Scottish, Irish, country, bluegrass, actually) for 23 years now. And if it’s a passion, it’s not practicing as a laborious act, it’s fun! My orscfice sessions usually involve me just going through every tune I know, every song, every recording I’ve learned, and just going through them all. And I’m always gradually learning new music, once I’ve heard it and it’s stuck in my mind, and I can sing it, I can translate it to the instrument. That’s what one famous musician once told me: if you can SING it, you can play it. Because then you know what it should sound like. Sounds basic, I know, but it’s very true. Plenty of ppl have heard me play and immediately want me to teach them the fiddle. But unless you’re actively listening to Irish music, or whatever it is that you want to be playing, then it isn’t present in your mind.. a concept has to be flowing mentally for you to be able to even attempt it.

[@annanardo2358]

Age 7 ? Holy mackeral, she and that guitar have fused into one super guitarist ! 😀😀😀 Segovia would be proud !!!!

[@TamelotCleaningServices]

​@@erikm8372I tried to learn fiddle/violin a few years ago. Sadly I had no teacher, You Tube and Google were not a 'thing' yet and I live in a rural area. I eventually gave up and sold it. My grandfather played fiddle and I am of Scottish roots so it seemed fitting. 😔

[@jude1515]

That’s awesome! Her playing is wonderful.

[@allen6924]

She's an amazing guitar player and singer. She doesn't get any acknowledgement of her playing ability. Just amazing craftsmanship.

[@pegynol]

Never ever miss a chance to see her. She told us that the "Cuchi cuchi" got her to the bank, but who she really is is a classical guitarist. Segovia considered her the best.

[@stevepick9527]

So very true, as a guitarist I just cannot believe how amazing she is and makes it look easy. She’s right up there with Carlos Montoya and other greats.

[@bunkyman8097]

This is the real Charo! Look at her concentration and when she plays. This is world class talent. Such a shame she is known in America for anything but this.

[@javierp6636]

Aranjuez is my hometown so imagine how proud I am 🤗

[@biancatellington85]

Have you heard the version with Jim Hall and Chet Baker? It’s my favorite.

[@javierp6636]

@@biancatellington85 yes!! it's beautiful 😍

[@JonHeckendorf]

I love this music. I love this music so much I married a Spanish girl and bought a home on the beach near Marbella and lived for many years in Spain. The only thing missing is I never had the opportunity to see Charo perform and play her guitar. I ate many times at her restaurant but never got to meet her or see her play as I was told she might for her dining guests. My loss for sure. She is as beautiful as ever. A real angel.

[@allenrubin4022]

She touches my heart. Talent beyond her time. She is and will always be pure love!

[@louisduany6020]

A super-underrated talent...

[@ukyo2010]

I recently discovered Charo as a serious musician. From what I read, she was recognized as an excellent musician by people in the know. It seems to be the general American public that didn't know, having only seen her as the cuchi-cuchi girl, as I did until very recently.

[@Tricklarock]

@@ukyo2010 yeah, seems as if we always get screwed on the really good shit?!

[@dirtydiscosecrets]

Much more to Charo than the campy personality she did for the Love Boat etc. She's just lost her husband. Much love Charo x

[@southernlight6]

No one plays it like she does!! I love it more each time I hear it.

[@DeltaUSA19]

One classically trained, extremely talented lady who can make her guitar talk.

[@johnbarnett6924]

A younger Charo, But Just as Musically Talented''' John...!!!

[@777Wilderness]

To this day I can first remember seeing her on all the entertainment shows in the early 70's when they were still trying to promote her as a singer and comic relief for talkshow hosts. The moment I first heard her play Aranjuez, I knew I was going to have to learn to play the Spanish guitar. I have always admired her technique, as a student of Segovia you can see the control and mastery. At times she may have become more flamboyant with her type of flamenco style, even a little too showy but she has always worked hard to promote herself over a period of time when women were not taken seriously. I truly admire her and enjoy her playing.

[@70mjc]

Tomas Amadis you don’t study under Segovia and play “flashy or showy”... That’s 110% counter to his entire approach....

[@stevegillis5297]

@@70mjc if you have ever seen Segovia perform live, there were times when he got "flashy and showy" especially in a more informal venue

[@miromiro4981]

She is actually a pretty great vocalist. I mean, you cannot possibly be this good at guitar and be a *bad* vocalist - but she actually has a great singing voice. But yeah, she's a guitar virtuoso and makes it look totally effortless. That she manages to be so adorable about all of it makes it even better lol. Truly an amazing woman.

[@allen6924]

Her pasión surpassed Segovia. Just amazing craftsmanship and control. But with a gypsy passion.

[@norms3913]

The only show I saw her on was the carol Burnett show

She's a star a shining star in the world of music. I didn't know she studies w/ Segovia ! Aha ! something told me she must have studied with the master himself. Now I learn it's true. And those gypsies, they "own" that instrument. 😍😍

Dear Charo, I remember the 1st time I heard you play guitar after so many appearances on Johnny Carson, convinced that you were just a beautiful comedian and being floored by your true talent. I was reminded of you while watching a "Ten Best List" video that you weren't on. God bless you. I'm going back to the other video to straighten them out over there.

[@jamescastillo2405]

Charo is awesome!, what a unique talent, she has beauty & class sophistication, & great comedic ability, & she looks great here. Beautiful hair outfit and guitar.

[@markfairbanks6601]

Fabulous!!

[@Azishome]

I keep wishing that they would take her seriously and put her on the concert stage.

[@markrichards6863]

She's toured as a classical guitarist for many years, has released albums. It's a little sad to me, people see her on the cover of an album and think it's going to be fluff, but she's actually a gifted musician. I think it's an interesting lesson to share with your children. Sometimes it's hard to move beyond your reputation. I have a lot of respect for Charo. Music is obviously her calling. People want to put other aspects of her entertainment talent first, but I feel like she has been able to build interest in herself as a musician. She and Steve Martin have a lot in common here. He's a very talented banjo player. I've seen him in concert. But people expect him to be a wild and crazy guy.

[@mkalas1083]

Bravo Charo, I can only play this good in my dreams

[@jenrasmuson4372]

Fantastic and gorgeous!!! And the playing's pretty, too.

[@RandomDudeOne]

[@MemoGrafix]

That's what I always remembered Charo for since I was a little girl. I hadn't thought about her in possibly 40 years. Until 3 months ago I came across some _SalSoul record company_ Disco music she was singing on. I decided to see if she was still alive _(yes)_ and to be in awe of her massive talent beyond the Cuchy Cuchee Coooooo. I never was into Flamenco music. However ... Listening & watching her play her guitar with graceful intensity made Me appreciate more of this musical genre. I listen to most genres of music I grew up with anyway, being a midrange musician - _Jazz, Soul, R&B, Calypso, Salsa, Ska, Reggae, Rap/HipHop, Rock, Metal, Disco, Etc., and now Flamenco._

Dear Charo I cannot handle all of this iconic beauty and talent. All these classical Spanish conciertos and two millennia of cultural treasures I can only imagine, of which you have forgotten more than I will learn-- all are reasons why I refuse to forgive you! Yes, I refuse to forgive you for going on TV and pretending to be a clown, a female Ricky Ricardo. You have much explaining to do for all the artistry you hid from us. The best I can do is go out and say an Ave Maria for your soul and dare hope this will earn me an interview with you in some better mode of existence.
