About
Chavela Vargas was born in San Joaquín de Flores, Heredia Province, Costa Rica. She was a Costa Rican-born Mexican singer. She was especially known for her rendition of Mexican rancheras, but she is also recognized for her contribution to other genres of popular Latin American music. For many years she sang on the streets, but in her thirties she became a professional singer. Her first album, Noche de Bohemia, was released in 1961 with the professional support of José Alfredo Jiménez, one of the foremost singer/songwriters of Mexican ranchera music. She eventually recorded more than 80 albums. Vargas is featured in many of Almodóvar's films, including La flor de mi secreto in both song and video. She also appeared in Frida, singing "La Llorona".
