On September 15, 2003, an adoring and sold-out Carnegie Hall audience gathered to pay tribute to a true legend and revolutionary. Everyone in attendance was aware of the magic and history on that stage, and was in awe of how an 84-year old woman making her Carnegie Hall debut wielded fearlessness and heartache to command the venue. Fearlessness is what brought her to the public's attention in Mexico in the late '50s when she dressed in men's clothing, smoked cigars, carried a gun, and chased women in a time when this was unimaginable. She openly seduced women with "Rancheras", Mexican folk songs of love and loss intended to be sung by men that became a transgressive force in her mouth. She's been an inspiration and muse to countless artists. This special collector’s edition is a custom CD Digipak with foil embossed double cover with a 20 page book containing original illustrations by Rafael Esquer and lyrics in Spanish with English translations. The liner notes are written by Carlos Monsivais, one of Mexico’s leading scholars and cultural critics and this year’s winner of Mexico’s highest award: The National Arts and Sciences Award. This unique package includes 10 postcards with beautiful images of Chavela.

Following her re-emegence from retirement in 1979, this was the first full length album from the famed ranchera in many a decade. Recorded in Madrid in May 1994, "Macorina" is a gift from a woman who has the unique ability to convey a song with the wisdom gained by experience from life and have it resonate in every note from her lips. While age and hard living have taken their toll on her body, her artistry shines brighter than ever! No one can electrify an audience quite like Vargas and evoke emotions in so many people.
