Y si quieres saber de mi pasado (Spanish Edition)

Muse to poets and screenwriters, Vargas lived the golden era of Mexico. In this autobiography, we find people like Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Bette Davis and Elizabeth Taylor.

Description in Spanish:

La excepcional personalidad de Chavela Vargas, su particular modo de comprender el mundo y su indudable valor artístico la convierten en uno de los últimos mitos de la música popular. Musa de poetas y cineastas, Chavela vivió las décadas de oro de México, los años cuarenta y cincuenta. A su lado encontramos figuras como Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Bette Davis o Elizabeth Taylor. Tras su personal "travesía del desierto", Chavela Vargas volvía a los escenarios en los años noventa, para recoger los frutos de una vida apurada hasta el límite.

Chavela Vargas traza aquí su biografía sentimental, deteniéndose en los personajes y los detalles que han marcado su trayectoria vital y profesional, en un relato cargado de ironía y sentido del humor: como en sus conciertos, la historia de su vida promete tanta alegría como dolor, y como en sus canciones, nos asegura una visión apasionada y desgarradora de su mundo interior.
