Charo and Guitar Specifications
Mainstream America got a small taste of Charo's virtuoso guitar playing on The Surreal Life, but the Spanish spitfire has been expertly tickling the strings for several decades. Charo's coochie-coochie image has always overshadowed her genuine talent, but this disc of instrumental tunes is accented only by dance beats and lively background vocals. Nevertheless, Charo has an awe-inspiring knack for channeling all her vibrancy and charisma into the guitar. It makes Charo & Guitar a fun, lively journey. The tireless diva has taken classical compositions--"Luna de Fuego," En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor," "Eres Tu"--and infused them with New Age rhythms, flamenco flourishes and a dance-floor consciousness that should result in serious hip-shaking. There are even club-ready versions of standout tracks "Bolero" and Picante." And lest you think this is simply a vanity project, check the album credits. Charo herself co-wrote and co-produced a number of the disc's tracks, and she has a keen sense of how to smoothly mix and mingle rhythms. Much like the performer's own indefatigable career, Charo & Guitar straddles the best of several seemingly disparate worlds. The result is a wholly unique, simply irresistible experience. --Joey Guerra
