Description

Chavela Vargas
Born in Costa Rica, Chavela Vargas (1919-2012) was celebrated for her rendition of Mexican rancheras, and for her contribution to other genres of popular Latin American music. Presented here, for the first time ever on CD, is her complete debut album, Noche Bohemia. As a bonus, this edition also includes her complete second LP, Chavela Vargas con el Cuarteto Lara Foster, plus her classic rendition of “Toda una vida.”
Vargas retired from performing due to a 15-year battle with alcoholism, which she described in her autobiography as “my 15 years in hell.” Chavela could not maintain her heavy drinking and intense lifestyle. In 1970, “submerged in an alcoholic haze” as she described it, she was taken in by a native family who nursed her back to health without knowing who she was.
