Original upload got taken down so I cleaned up another video taken from a reaction channel because people deserve to see the entire unedited performance. Not sure what song this is though but it's great.
Charo always seemed happy becoming the "cuchi-cuchi girl." But she truly was an accomplished musician. She was also a funny and fun t watch. In an interview Charo said, "Around the world I am known as a great musician. But in America I am known as the cuchi-cuchi girl. That's okay because cuchi-cuchi has taken me all the way to the bank."
I am a guitarist and I was at the Vegas airport on the same plane as charo. Waiting for our luggage and I had my guitar and she saw me pick it up and we had a moment It was really fun. She’s a beast on that classical. Always a fan
As Legion Ivory said “you are lucky mate” I would say more like “you had won the lottery “ Most of us dream about meeting a famous musician and maybe jam a bit with them(I’m the one who hangs around musicians, a drummer) You got to live that dream I’m jealous and all so stoked you got to jam with Charo You have a story to amaze your grandchildren when that day comes
She was trained by a master. I believe it. She destroys. I like metal and stuff but I wish so hard I could play guitar like this it just sexy as heck and beautiful.
@@VetteMAE2, don't worry, I suppose that's an American magazine. They know nothing. I is, more or less, like when they propose to choose the best operatic singers and people votes for Sara Brightman or Bocelli.
"Latina." Definitely not latinks. Calling a Spaniard a Latina is as bad as calling an Englshwoman an Anglo-Saxon. It's like claiming that their families are part of very successful historical cultures and contemporary societies that are thriving far and wide. How insulting!
It’s insane to think this is 1977 and how much better she probably is now after continued practice for years. Charro really is an incredible musician and guitarist.
I can remember the first time I ever saw Charo play the guitar. Up until then, I hadn’t thought too much of her but I changed my mind after I saw what an accomplished guitarist she was. It changed my whole opinion of her.
An amazing craftsmanship to her guitar playing. This woman is among the most amazing guitar players of Latino music. She's above many of the people people put above her. Secovia has nothing on her.
She's not just an amazing Latin/Flamenco guitarist. Ottmar Leibert always looked up to Charo, and as much as love Lindesy Buckingham, and his acoustic classical sets, not anywhere near her talent.. .and with a perfect manicure!
Grew up watching her and am just now learning that she was an accomplished musician. I'm kinda mad but also amazed. I just love her and she's so beautiful. Truly gifted.
What a fucking beast... I gotta learn how to play that tremolo bit where she's playing like a million notes a second on a single string with 3 different fingers... Absolutely awe-inspiring. Also, she was on Suite Life On Deck that one time! Neat!
I am deeply mesmerized by her fingers dancing accross that instrument with so much fervor and jovial energy! Passionate even…I’m still picking my mouth up from off the floor.
Im a musician but I know Charo from drag/gay culture and you should see the smile slowly growing on my face learning she’s like one of the most bad ass guitar players ever
Oh man, 1977, native kid from a reservation hearing this for the first time ever, I was enthralled by Charo's performance. I fell in love 😍Still in love to this day.
Wow! Amazing Flamenco guitarist! I knew she played guitar but I had absolutely no idea she was this good. After seeing this I went online and saw she studied under the great master Andres Segovia. OK, I know, I’m a little late to the party but I am going to try and see her play at Morongo if she comes again as it is near me. Cuchi Cuchi, she is so much more than that!
Malaguena will remain the sad voice coming from the depths of tortured hearts, then it will continue to scream in order to announce its wounds over the years that it will continue to receive the pain of wounds and forever....🌍🖤🖤🖤
Every single filmed recording of her is always back by an orchestra or a band. I just want to hear her play without a bunch of studio mercenaries muddying it up.
Woooohooo she’s the best Flamenco female guitarist ever .. .. I’ve never in my life time ever seen a woman who can compete with men an undoubtedly win .. God Bless you Charo for putting women on the map thank you 🙏🏻
Good call. I only ever knew Charo as the "Coochie-coochie girl" when I was a kid (I was born the year before this performance). I was absolutely floored the first time I heard her guitar. Still am. Gracias, amigo!
I’m today-years-old when I learned that “HOOCHIE-COOCHIE-COOCHIE” could play a mean fuckin flamenco 😂 Holy shit. I grew up with my parents playing 70s reruns on TV and seeing her prance around all crazy-like. This is insanely awesome to me ❤️ What a legend.
Wow! This is the first time I have seen this performance, what an amazing artist. She was so young and beautiful I almost didn't recognize her. I saved this to watch again and again, I need to be constantly reminded of how much I suck on guitar - thanks Charo!
Bravo 👏 Bellissimo ❤ Apparently, from 1970 to 1979 were the best years in the whole world. The years of prosperity and love and art and the peak of world classic cinema. And Hollywood of course❤❤❤
I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, at the time she was a tv star and very funny as well When I watched the Watchmojo list on the 20 top female guitarist’s and here she was, I was completely blown away Never even knew she was so talented at Flamenco on guitar Thank you Watchmojo for expanding my knowledge On Charo Now she is a musician 1st , actress 2nd in my mind

she still is.. she practice 3 hour every day at 71 yrs of age . she is one of the very best
Whats cuchu cuchu
@@Remspamton her cuchi,cuchi.
You know!
I am a guitarist and I was at the Vegas airport on the same plane as charo. Waiting for our luggage and I had my guitar and she saw me pick it up and we had a moment It was really fun. She’s a beast on that classical. Always a fan
You're a lucky one, mate. I'd love to meet her and see her perform live.
did you get her number??
As Legion Ivory said “you are lucky mate”
I would say more like “you had won the lottery “
Most of us dream about meeting a famous musician and maybe jam a bit with them(I’m the one who hangs around musicians, a drummer)
You got to live that dream
I’m jealous and all so stoked you got to jam with Charo
You have a story to amaze your grandchildren when that day comes
A great Musician
💞💕💞
She was voted best Flamenco guitarist in the world twice by guitar magizne. Wow!
When was this? She is great to be sure. But against Paco de Lucia, Manolo Sanlucar, Vicente Amigo, Tomatito and many many others…
She was trained by a master. I believe it. She destroys. I like metal and stuff but I wish so hard I could play guitar like this it just sexy as heck and beautiful.
I am not surprised that she was voted world classed Flamingo female guitarist.
@@harryjackson4759 “Best Flamenco Guitarist”
not world class flamingo female guitarist lol
@@VetteMAE2, don't worry, I suppose that's an American magazine. They know nothing. I is, more or less, like when they propose to choose the best operatic singers and people votes for Sara Brightman or Bocelli.
A lot of people might not know that Charo has been named and recognized as a world-class guitarist.
Flamenco
I didn’t I am totally blown away !!
I never knew this about her. Wonder if she still plays at 77 ?
Love Charo ❤️ In a way, she almost reminds me of a slightly more hyper, more over-the-top, Spanish version of Dolly Parton!
Or a Latino version of Roy Clark.
She is SPANISH. NOT "latino"...
Calling a Spaniard "latino" is insulting.
"Latina."
Definitely not latinks.
Calling a Spaniard a Latina is as bad as calling an Englshwoman an Anglo-Saxon. It's like claiming that their families are part of very successful historical cultures and contemporary societies that are thriving far and wide. How insulting!
❤
My GAWD......Even at eight years old, I knew this woman was special!
This woman deserves so much more respect than she got. An extremely beautiful woman, with fingers trained by André Segovia…
Why in the 70s she wasn't known for her talents in music only for that cheesy line she did.. we need to give her flowers now
She’s said that she went chuci, chuci to the bank 🏦 😂
She sure did take it to the bank she is worth 60 million
She was a prodigy by age 9, and studied for a while under Segovia.
I thought I had heard that correctly. Segovia was a magnificent guitarist, and clearly she picked up on that too, haha
This woman can play
That’s some virtuoso sh#t right there.
She was taught by legends.
She still can AFAIK.
Drowned out in this performance
by unnecessary elaborate orchestra
@@maxpinson5002Hahaa , when the band wants to takes centre stage.
She's playing Ernesto Lecuona's Malaguena. It's actually a piano solo.
It’s insane to think this is 1977 and how much better she probably is now after continued practice for years. Charro really is an incredible musician and guitarist.
Seems like a lovely person too.
She started playing when she was 9 years old
*As a lifelong guitarist,* drummer, and (shitty) pianist I assure you musicianship largely peaks in one's mid-20's.
@@vaffangool9196
May be your experience but that hardly makes it universal.
She's old now, I'm sure she still can play great but with old age comes Arthritis and the memory not being as sharp as it once was
2023 and she's still tearing it up! Saw her in Ct. and I couldn't believe how good she was.
Seeing her again tonight in Connecticut, I did 20 years ago, amazing
This chick was a major badass in her day. And a funny comedic actress, as well.
And she speaks about 12 languages. She's brilliant.

Charo is Still a Guitar Playing Bad Ass.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Charo is a marvelous classical Flamenco guitarist. I am happy to have found this.
Wow, she was extremely beautiful
She is a kick ass guitar player. I saw an episode of "suite life on deck" and she was playing guitar on the episode and I looked her up after.
This is how I discovered her too! Her playing is gorgeous.
I can remember the first time I ever saw Charo play the guitar. Up until then, I hadn’t thought too much of her but I changed my mind after I saw what an accomplished guitarist she was. It changed my whole opinion of her.
Charo... We must have more Charo!!!! More CHARO!!!!!
An amazing craftsmanship to her guitar playing. This woman is among the most amazing guitar players of Latino music. She's above many of the people people put above her. Secovia has nothing on her.
Segovia was her teacher
She's not just an amazing Latin/Flamenco guitarist. Ottmar Leibert always looked up to Charo, and as much as love Lindesy Buckingham, and his acoustic classical sets, not anywhere near her talent.. .and with a perfect manicure!
I grew up seeing her on various TV shows. wasnt till the last 7 or 8 years i even knew she was a musician. A very talented one , i may add.
I love seeing a woman who's as beautiful inside as she is inside. Absolute treasure.
Grew up watching her and am just now learning that she was an accomplished musician. I'm kinda mad but also amazed. I just love her and she's so beautiful. Truly gifted.
Someone please do a movie about this woman's life. How have I known of Charo all my life and never known she played the guitar?
What a fucking beast... I gotta learn how to play that tremolo bit where she's playing like a million notes a second on a single string with 3 different fingers... Absolutely awe-inspiring. Also, she was on Suite Life On Deck that one time! Neat!
@Evan Hodge gracias
I got arthritis just watching this
Underrated guitarist, great feel and playing here.
I had no idea she trained under Segovia. I was a kid when she did the Cuchi-cuchi bit so never thought more of her nor knew of her talents.
This woman was such a magnificent performer. Got some notoriety, but not nearly what she deserved!
Coochie coochie coochie and she is actually a virtuoso. What a woman so much soul and love.
I am deeply mesmerized by her fingers dancing accross that instrument with so much fervor and jovial energy! Passionate even…I’m still picking my mouth up from off the floor.
Saw her in Branson a few years ago at theater of Andy
Williams. The Moon River theater. Before he died. She was awesome. Very enjoyable.
Loved these talented celebrities we used to have in those days. Unlike who is out there today.
no one makes it big without talent whether you think theyre talented or not
I always wondered why she was really famous but damn i stand corrected wow
It is one of many versions of a piece that is called Malaguena, meaning "From Malaga" a city in Andalusia, Spain.
Beautifully Done! Gone Charo!!!! Hey Now!!!!!
She is amazing and I always find it shocks people when I tell them that didn’t know her talent at flamenco 💃
Im a musician but I know Charo from drag/gay culture and you should see the smile slowly growing on my face learning she’s like one of the most bad ass guitar players ever
Should we really see it?

In her sixties, she is STILL IMPRESSIVE , GOD BLESS YOU CHARO. for your light and inspiration. JOHN❤ revisited 10 October 2023❤
It would have been much better without the orchestra...the better to hear Charo.
🌻I Love Charro! ✝️her Heart! ❤️🙏🏻

Buy any of her albums.
It isn't her fault, they follow her around just be able to play with a master. 🙂
She is surprisingly good, classic and flamenco styles... and she was very cute to boot!!
it's Malaguena by Ernesto Lacuona.
A truly great, truly underrated Talent
I’m happy to see that she has talent. Good for her. Wow! I never knew….
It's no joke, bro. Wow.
Still listening December 2021
I adore her. So very talented, gorgeous and funny. Bless you, Charro! Your videos bring me joy! Liked, thank you!
Love you Charo
This should way more views 👏🙌👌🙏😍😎
So amazingly talented and what a gorgeous doll!!
I think she is so beautiful playing than the other silly stuff.
Woooohooo she’s the best Flamenco female guitarist ever .. .. I’ve never in my life time ever seen a woman who can compete with men an undoubtedly win .. God Bless you Charo for putting women on the map thank you 🙏🏻
What a legend ❤️
¡UNA SALVAJE!
She’s been playing since she was very young and she learned early on from Segovia himself. She’s a seriously good player.
Good call. I only ever knew Charo as the "Coochie-coochie girl" when I was a kid (I was born the year before this performance). I was absolutely floored the first time I heard her guitar. Still am. Gracias, amigo!

Wow !!!
I never knew until today 😮
She’s AMAZING !!!
"One flew over the Cuckoo's Nuts" and she knew how to keep Carson in stitches.
Beautiful and extremely talented!!!
In another life she played this for me on the beach, in Ibiza.
We were naked, and I sipped sangria.
❤
🥰🥰🥰 Yess Charo
Amazing!
She plays so perfectly it's amazing. Her presentation and delivery is flawless.
Loved it.
Wow! This is the first time I have seen this performance, what an amazing artist. She was so young and beautiful I almost didn't recognize her. I saved this to watch again and again, I need to be constantly reminded of how much I suck on guitar - thanks Charo!
She doesn't play guitar. She attacks the guitar with a vengeance.
Damn! She can play!!!!
I had no idea she could do that.
Outstanding, Charo!
Wow!
Wow wow wow.
Thank you for posting. Exceptional and multi-dimensional artist.
truly incredibleee
Wow I remember watching when I was a kid , I’m 58 now I wonder what happened to this beautiful,talented lady? 😮🙌🏼🎸
WOW who woulda thunk she had a talent !
Epic
Trailblazing female flamenco virtuoso... a true great.
If she had married Roy Clark and they had children. Would be greatest guitarists in universe
I always remembered her from the Surreal Life (sorry I was like 13 when that aired) but I was amazed to see how talented she really is.
So wonderful!
Very skilled and beautiful here!
WOW 😮 ❗ I've always had a soft spot for Charo, but her flamenco skills are another level! Bless her "Cuchi Cuchi" 💋💕
Bravo 👏
Bellissimo ❤
Apparently, from 1970 to 1979 were the best years in the whole world. The years of prosperity and love and art and the peak of world classic cinema. And Hollywood of course❤❤❤
WOW! I read she studied under Adres Segovia. Enough said. Amazing!
Ok, so I'm in love now
I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, at the time she was a tv star and very funny as well
When I watched the Watchmojo list on the 20 top female guitarist’s and here she was, I was completely blown away
Never even knew she was so talented at Flamenco on guitar
Thank you Watchmojo for expanding my knowledge
On Charo
Now she is a musician 1st , actress 2nd in my mind
Dam, i had totally forgoten about her flamenco mastery.
Malaguena...by Ernesto Lecuona! She didn't JUST cuchi cuchi! :)
#BRILLIANT!

😎
I never knew...................... far from the "cuchi-cuchi girl" that many painted her as, she's an outstanding talented artist! 🤯
Not a sideshow for The Tonight Show. Inspired me to learn the Guitar
Bravo Bravo Charo!❤❤❤🎉
I can’t get over how big her hair is 😍😍😍
