Too bad a lot of people don't know that she is one of the best guitar players in the world

[@rcreynolds6186]

JohnnyM Fan so true.

[@Brandon-dy8us]

I didn't know she existed until I saw her on that 70s show a couple days ago lol. She kicks ass!

[@BrutishYetDelightful]

@@Brandon-dy8us Check out the Caliente video on here. The one where she's on the Martha Stewart show. Pure awesome.

[@merrickcr]

Born in the 90s. Didn't understand anything about her besides big tits. But holy shit she is a master at guitar. Trained under Andres Segovia. It really saddens me that she isn't know for that. Because she is amazing and super talented

[@johnwalters1149]

@@merrickcr she understood what her transition to the dumb blonde act would do to her image. She laughed all the way to the bank! Europeans know the truth, so don't be sad.

[@rcreynolds6186]

I remember as s kid growing up in the 70s that Charo was everywhere on TV. She was the Shakira of her time. Then as I got older I looked forwards to seeing her play guitar more than watching her dance or sing. As a showgirl she was just so so. As a guitarist she is a master.

[@David-ej7qq]

@ RC Reynolds Shakira? Are you kidding me? Piss on Shakira SMH

[@carlosalbertofavoritofavor8482]

Yesssd

[@rcreynolds6186]

Kinda harsh.

[@asturiasceltic3183]

Charo is a virtuoso... Skakira isn't

[@rcreynolds6186]

@@asturiasceltic3183 What I kind of meant was, she was the only big name Latina star at that time. You're right about Shakira not being a virtuoso. Maybe a virtuoso of baring her belly...

[@davidsmith1761]

Not only is she beautiful, she is a fantastic Spanish Classical Guitarist. I didn't even know she played until maybe 6 or 7 years ago, and I was shocked when I heard her tickle those 6 strings. She is as good as anyone I've ever heard and I've been playing for 52 years. She is fabulous!

I was maybe 7 or 8 when I first saw her, the Ed Sullivan show, two guitar and vocal numbers, wow, so very talented.

Every time she plays it is different. She improvises quite a bit, and never seems to make a misstep. Amazing lady!

[@sharonazar1]

She is strong, tender, profound. Wow! I never knew this about Charo!! A truly great musician!!

[@stevehogan8829]

She played the guitar and played the audience. Very accomplished, talented, schooled and very smart. Would love to read a biography.

[@Marny5580]

as a member of the audience at the Haugh performance, 5th row Center - she was outstanding in the whole show. she told the audience to take pictures and videos! awesome entertainer and sad that she's no longer on tv.

[@Juanmaligno]

@@Marny5580 she appears on RuPaul's drag race alot she was on the 3rd episode of the current season (season 12)

[@dianesparrow1592]

She is one of the best guitarists in the world, absolutely agree. She is also a composer.

[@1belcantofan]

Wow. Charo is just extraordinary. She makes you just fall in love with her art because she is just SO passionate about it herself! Her final facial expression and gesture tell you EVERYTHING! Incredible! Thank you Charo!

[@bhumphries1360]

Charo has been voted as the BEST flamenco guitarist in the world!!! Many times over!!!! And I AGREE!!!!

[@crazybastardist]

Beauty and TALENT.......TALENT and beauty. Emphasis on talent........Love her!

[@santolify]

I've always loved how Charo played her guitar. She's awesome.

[@BrickPa]

Her teacher, Andres Segovia, can certainly be proud of her!

[@olensoifer9901]

There is some question as to actually how much Segovia was her teacher. Apparently, he started a number of schools in Spain, but wasn't there full-time to teach, as he was touring, etc. Also, Segovia is more known more for what we call "classical guitar" than pure flamenco. Still Segovia did know of Charro, and probably did teach her to some extent. But, people make it sound like he was her only, or main, instructor and that is probably far from accurate.

[@jgrossma]

Charo legitimately did attend a conservatory that Segovia founded in Spain, but by the time that happened he was continually touring internationally. She's since admitted that the guy would only show up once a year or so to wave hello and give a class. So while it is possible that she had a TINY bit of direct instruction from Segovia, the vast majority of her formative instruction was from the regional conservatory instructors. That said. . .they wouldn't have been running Segovia's school if they weren't good, and bluntly, they probably had a lot more real world teaching experience than Segovia did anyway.

[@TradBarbie]

Teaching can only take one so far.

[@truescotsman4103]

she's surpassed his ability but probably not his knowledge. she's amazing.

[@robertgiles9124]

@@truescotsman4103 You must be clueless about the guitar; no one ever "surpassed" Segovia. There's plenty now who play as well as Segovia but on that level there's no "Surpassing." She's a beginner compared to him and he did not play faux Flamenco and Las Vegas style shows. Nothing she does here is very difficult. You must be looking at the Tits and Ass and got Struck silly. Are you really Scottish? Embarassing if true.

[@larryhamsing4140]

Yes, she is definitely one of the best! I had the pleasure of attending one of her concerts. It was fantastic!

[@lianeshell]

I told date Charo played Spanish guitar, then shared with friend he didn't know either. their both older men All remember coochi coochi I remember her when I was a little girl and she was amazing. watching her now 30 plus years later,truly appreciate her phenomenonal talent. Thank you Charo!!

She speaks and writes in Japanese too! I study Japanese for years and could never write it! For a person whose first language is Spanish or English learning to speak and write in Japanese or any Asian language takes an almost Genius mind! ブラボーチャロ、あなたは私が今まで見た中で最も才能のあるパフォーマーです！ I had help from a translation program.

First time I ever saw her on TV was on Johnny Carson playing guitar.

[@elucas3975]

Absolutely agree.

[@furretfan450]

(white american) history is absolutely riddled with people exactly like this! it's so frustrating

[@jazzmanchgo]

A tragedy that she had to "Uncle Tom"" (or whatever the female-gendered equivalent is) with that "Coochie-coochie" routine to get accepted by "mainstream" American TV audiences. I wonder how that must have felt, deep inside? I think of the legendary African-American actors, actresses, musicians, and singers who had to do that in films and on early TV, and what they went through . . . I'm guessing it was the same for this lady.

[@ukyo2010]

I only learned today that Charo is a serious musician. I only thought of her as the cuchi girl before.

[@Merlin_Price]

Tears. What a performance.

[@sevans840]

I learned Charo could play Classical guitar from her stints as April Lopez on The Love Boat back in 1977. Who knew the "Cuchi Cuchi" girl had talent?

There was some concern that she would set a precidence for innate beauty and artistic talent, at a time when hollywood revised the requirements. None the less she still practiced her scales and accepted what they seen as marketable. You would have to have met her. She is a commanding presense.
