Chavela Vargas. Isabel Vargas Lizano (Spanish pronunciation: [tÊaËÎ²ela ËÎ²arÉ£as]; 17 April 1919 â 5 August 2012), better known as Chavela Vargas, was a Costa Rican-born Mexican singer. She was especially known for her rendition of Mexican rancheras, but she is also recognized for her contribution to other genres of popular Latin American music.
She was baptized on 15 July 1919 with the forenames MarÃ­a Isabel Anita Carmen de JesÃºs. She had a difficult childhood: her parents divorced and left her under the care of an uncle, and she contracted poliomyelitis. She went by Chavela, which is a pet name for Isabel. At age 14, she abandoned her native country due to lack of opportunities for a musical career, seeking refuge in Mexico, where an entertainment industry was burgeoning.
