Chavela Vargas, (Isabel Vargas Lizano), Costa Rican-born Mexican singer (born April 17, 1919, San Joaquín de Flores, Costa Rica—died Aug. 5, 2012, Cuernavaca, Mex.), blended ferocity and warmth in her dramatic interpretations of Mexico’s ranchera songs. Vargas sometimes raised eyebrows for her raucous performances and lifestyle; she typically performed in men’s trousers and a poncho, sometimes while smoking and toting a gun. Vargas immigrated to Mexico as a teenager and launched her singing career in the 1940s in Mexico City, where she became close friends with artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. In 1961 Vargas released Noches de Bohemia, the first of more than 80 albums. She struggled with alcohol problems, however, and vanished from the stage in the 1970s. She reemerged in the early 1990s and launched a remarkable international comeback, championed by Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar. Vargas formally announced her homosexuality (previously an open secret) in her autobiography, Y si quieres saber de mi pasado (2002). She received a lifetime achievement award from the Latin Recording Academy in 2007. ---britannica.com

The best and longest preserved of the Mexican cancion ranchera singers, Chavela Vargas began singing rather late in life -- past the age of 30 -- but continued well into old age, charming audiences until she was well into her seventies. Born in Costa Rica in 1919, she first sang on a professional level in the early '50s, and toured with the legendary José Alfredo Jiménez. Her first recordings appeared in 1961, and she became quite popular during the 1960s and '70s, both in her native land as well as across the ocean in Spain and Europe. Although she retired in 1979, a victim of alcoholism, Vargas returned in 1990 after accepting a role in the Werner Herzog film A Cry of Stone. One year later, she contributed a song to the soundtrack of Tacones Lejanos, and in 1993 she entered a recording studio for the first time in decades. Chavela Vargas died in August 2012 in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico at the age of 93, after suffering from heart and respiratory problems. ---John Bush, allmusic.com
