Isabel "Chavela" Vargas Lizano

This commemoration of a remarkable woman should have appeared on her centenary on 17th April, but at least we can remember her on the date of her death. Chavela Vargas has been described variously as a pistol-packing, taboo-breaking, tequila drinking, cigar smoking, rabble rouser. I shall certainly pay closer attention when Frida next comes on to our screens.
