We loved it loved it loved it! I went with 6 friends and we were amazed at her talent and energy. Yes, she is a great commercial success, but this lady has true, priceless talent. Loved her sense of humor. And by the way the show was NOT in Spanish, it was when she was making fun of herself that she would "pretend-cuss" in Spanish. What sounds likeWritten on Jul 01 2008
Spanish is HER version of English. We loved the show!

Description
Charo is a singer, dancer, comedian, actress, and accomplished classical and flamenco guitarist. A guitar protégé at the age of 9, Charo studied with Andrés Segovia, the father of modern classical guitar music. She has twice been named the "Best Flamenco Guitarist in the World" by Guitar Player magazine, and her flamenco-inspired CD, Guitar Passion, went platinum and earned her the Female Pop Album of the Year Award at the 1995 Billboard International Latin Music Conference. Her trademarked "cuchi, cuchi" comes from her nickname for her childhood dog.
Charo made countless appearances on numerous TV shows in the ’60s and ’70s. She holds the record for the most “Love Boat” appearances; played Aunt Charo on the sitcom “Chico and the Man; appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” “Laugh-In,” “The Carol Burnett Show,” “The Sonny and Cher Show,” “The Brady Bunch Hour,” and on talk shows such as “Johnny Carson” and “The Merv Griffin Show.” Charo continued to guest star on numerous TV shows throughout the ’80s and ’90s; she has been a regular on "Hollywood Squares" and has recently appeared on ”That ’70s Show” and the reality TV show "The Surreal Life." Charo has also acted in several films including “Elvis: That’s The Way It Is,” ”The Concorde - Airport '79” and “Moon Over Parador,” and provided the voice to a character in the 1994 animated film “Thumbelina.”
As a teenager in Spain, Charo became a recording artist, appeared in the Spanish film classic "Don Juan Tenorio," and was featured in a children’s TV show that brought her to the attention of famed big band leader Xavier Cugat. She later joined Cugat’s band (and married him) and traveled to Las Vegas, where the band played in major casinos including Caesar’s Palace, The Flamingo, and The Tropicana.
Soon Charo was performing as a solo artist in Las Vegas, sharing the stage with the likes of Johnny Carson, Danny Thomas, Buddy Hackett, Jim Nabors, and George Burns. During this time, she recorded her hit disco albums La Salsa and Flamenco Salsa on Capitol Records. Her first U.S. album, Cuchi-Cuchi from Charo & The Salsoul Orchestra, on Salsoul Records went platinum and became a hit in nightclubs worldwide. Her follow-up album, Olé, Olé, contained the single “Stay With Me” and became an international hit, achieving gold status. With her international hit “Dance A Little Bit Closer” in 1978, Charo created and established a new bilingual salsa style. This new “Charo rhythm” has since been emulated by many other Latin and American performers.
In 1997, a few years after the success of her platinum CD Guitar Passion, Charo released her follow-up CD, Gusto, which was her first dance album since the ’70s. This highly acclaimed CD includes the hits “Give Me Cuchi” and a remake of "Besame Mucho.”
In the summer of 2000, Charo began performing highly successful extended runs in Las Vegas. Her show Bravo, named The “Best Variety Show in Las Vegas” by Time magazine, opened in the Venetian Hotel and Casino in 2001 and continued at the Sevilla. The self-produced show enjoyed two years of unprecedented reviews and standing ovations every night. Many critics hailed Charo’s return to Las Vegas as “the best show of her career.”
