for "Best Tribute Show"

Everyone lovers a great comeback story! 

​

Iconic Mexican singer, Chavela Vargas, a trailblazer who constantly broke the mold, was edgy in the 1990's and is relevant today because her story pushes so many hot topic buttons: gender issues, gay rights, immigration, and Mexican culture. Songs of lust and longing and stories of her friendship with Diego Rivera, Frida Khalo, Liz Taylor, and Pedro Almodovar will intrigue and entertain you. She is definetly a woman of substance. 

​

Almodovar called Chavela a volcano and his muse. He produced her triumphant comeback after her recovery from lifelong alcoholism. Chavela's second act spanned almost twenty years, from her mid-70's to her death at the age of 93.

Traditional songs that make you cry with joy in Stephanie's voice... I highly recommend it. As a Mexican, I enjoyed it enormously.
