CHARO (for the 1st time in San Francisco in 10 years!) and her Las
Vegas Show

Charo, who will release a new Flamenco CD "Charo on Guitar" in
August, will take to the stage and both play solo flamenco guitar as
well as be accompanied by a 4-piece back-up band and 4 Las Vegas
dancers (presenting Flamenco, salsa, and Sevillanas dance) for a high
energy glitzy revue.

Born Maria Rosario Pilar Martinez Molina Baeza in Murcia, in
southeastern
Spain, she's known around the world simply as "Charo." But she's much
more
than just "cuchi cuchi." Charo is a singer, dancer, comedian,
actress, and
accomplished classical and flamenco guitarist. A guitar protege at
the age
of 9, Charo studied with Andres 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.
Charo is
also fluent in French, English, Italian, and Japanese, as well as her
native
Spanish.

Charo made countless appearances on numerous TV shows in the 60's and
70's.
She holds the record for the most "Love Boat" appearances (21 to be
exact);
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 80's and 90's; she has been a regular on Hollywood
Squares
and has recently appeared on "That 70's Show" and the reality TV
show, "The
Surreal Life."

In honor of Charo's first concert in San Francisco in 10 years and
her week-long visit to SF to promote the show, the San Francisco
Board of Supervisors will proclaim the week of August 1st "Charo
Week" in San Francisco.
