Special muchisimas gracias to my guest today, the one and only - CHARO! I knew she was a unique person, but to talk to such a witty, smart, energetic and pioneering Latina in the world of entertainment is a dream come true. What can I say? I grew up on 70's TV. I didn't realize the personal struggles she and her sister endured at such a young age to help her family financially. Before there were Latinas using their "real" names, her upbeat attitude and continuous work ethic made her a pioneering survivor in Hollywood. And her success has allowed her to make her music her way. Here's a video clip from the recent MDA Jerry Lewis Telethon and the debut of her new single, Roda de Samba. Though she's campy and over the top, Charo is CHOOSING to showcase her talent and music in a lively performance. This is one Latina legend who is now calling her own shots in the world of music and TV. CHARO WE LOVE YOU!
Charo performs at the Lincoln Theater in Yountville tomorrow, Friday, September 10. For tickets and more info visit: http://www.lincolntheater.com
