"I had to fight to be myself and to be respected. I'm proud to say I'm a lesbian. I don't talk about it too much, but I don't deny it. I've had to confront society and the Church, which says that homosexuals are condemned. It's absurd! How can they judge someone who was born that way? I didn't learn to be a lesbian, nobody taught me to be the way I am. I was born this way. I've never slept with a man. I've never slept with a man. Yes, I'm a virgin and I'm not ashamed. My Gods made me this way"

- Chavela Vargas

Chavela Vargas (María Isabel Anita Carmen de Jesús Vargas Lizano) was a Mexican singer of Costa Rican origin, born in 1919 in Costa Rica and died in 2012 in Mexico.

She is considered a leading figure in ranchera music, which she sang with strength and emotion. Her voice, rough and warm at the same time, served her theatrical, passionate and human interpretations of standards from the traditional Mexican repertoire.

"And since I have to say it almost everywhere, I'll say it: my parents didn't want me. I suffered for it".

She has an extremely difficult and conflicted relationship with her family, who do not accept her in any way. As a teenager, she left her country and her family for Mexico. The young woman rejected and criticised the ultra-conservative society in which she lives. Once in Mexico, she began singing in the streets.

In the 1940s, she became friends with the painters Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, staying with them for a while and becoming Frida Kahlo's lover.

At the age of 30, she was noticed on Mexico City's Avenida Insurgentes by the composer and famous rancheras singer José Alfredo Jiménez, who became the author of her main hits. With his help, she performed in the cabarets of Mexico City in the mid-1950s before embarking on the road to success in Acapulco, an international tourist destination, where she sang at one of Elizabeth Taylor's weddings.

Chavela Vargas rose to fame in the 1960s and 1970s, touring the world. She became a well-known figure in ranchera song, to which she gave a new lease of life.

Dressed like a man, smoking and drinking like a man, carrying a pistol, "the lady with the red poncho, silver hair and brown flesh" as the Spanish singer Joaquín Sabina described her, is characterised by her red sarape.

In a television interview in 2000, she came out as a homosexual woman. This is where the text at the beginning of the post is from!

Chavela's career reached its peak from the recording of her first album (Noche de Bohemia) in 1961 until the end of the 1970s. This was followed by a long period of fifteen years, during which the singer, suffering from a heavy addiction to alcohol, interrupted her musical career, which she did not resume until 1991.

Encouraged by her friend, the director Pedro Almodóvar, who compared her to Édith Piaf, Chavela embarked on a world tour, performing at the Olympia in Paris and Carnegie Hall in New York. Among her most outstanding performances was Tú me acostumbraste by Frank Domínguez in Pedro Almodóvar's film Babel. Being a close friend of Pedro, she has appeared in several of his films, including The Flower of My Secret.

Following a final concert in Madrid on 10 July 2012 to present her album (La Luna Grande), she was hospitalised in the Spanish capital with serious respiratory problems. She died on 5 August 2012, aged 93.

I am sure you know at least one of her song, La Llorona !

In any case, Chavela was an immense artist who had a profound impact on music, and I'm delighted to have discovered her, or rather re-discovered her. I listened to some of her songs and they're amazing if you like that kind of music ! And please look her up yourself, she was such an interesting person, I couldn't talk about everything in this post or it would have been too long !

Ensayando la Postura Nacional by Alexander Apóstol

Based on the paintings of Pedro Centeno Vallenilla

Caracas experienced a strong urban construction growth after the death of the dictator Juan Vicente Gómez in 1936 until the 70´s. Important political changes: European and Latin-American migrations, and especially petroleum costs variations made Venezuelan mentality change at a speeding race to new perspectives that were demonstrated in different areas, architecture being the main element of change towards a modern city. Besides the big social differences, from then on, the Venezuelans have conceived to an extreme this modern period of time as the dream of a better future. In that time, important plastic artist irrupted during the 40´s, 50´s and 60´s; Escuela de caracas (landscaping), Los Disidentes (abstraction), and the Techo de La Ballena (informalism) were some of the most important avant-garde movements. Curiously enough, the Venezuelan artist Pedro Centeno Vallenilla, formed under the fascist Italian regime and exhibitor of a peculiar nationalist theme with a characterized mannerist and exaggerated aesthetic, worked independently from the avant-garde movements, he was even considered as a minor artist by them. Due to Vallenilla´s profound political views at the time, he was able to establish himself as the official painter during the dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez in the 50´s, where buildings like the National Capitol, the National Military or collections and private homes were decorated with his Works. Nowadays his works are still hung in these official buildings, where the nation’s history and the autochthonous elements together with the exaggerated and idealized aesthetic of the body and race, are the main characters in his work. What interests me is how his fertile visual language feeds the creation myths of the birth of the nation and establishes it like a part of the Venezuelan culture, in the political, social, military and even economic grounds of the country; where his work exemplifies, maybe fortunately, the prejudice, contradictions and acceptations on how Venezuelans want to see ourselves and how we wanted to be seen (and still want to be), contrasting with the exacerbated and vulnerable narcissism that fundaments itself on the starting resentments that we drag on form the colonial times. Finally I would like to focus Centeno Vallenilla´s work, independently from his pictorial quality, like the heir of a confused Venezuelan modernity in conception and ideology, confronted in the same way with the confused and complex political and social times that we are now living. Where the frontier between liberal ideologies and economic pragmatism associated with the conservatives, are faded together with the political ways of the country. In the film and photos, works of Centeno Vallenilla dedicated to the nation’s history, race and traditions, are converted into a tableaux vivant by people that come from the marginated areas of Caracas, but that are situated in the natural context of this artist, these spaces are modern but at the same time unused buildings, like a mansion turned into an office building; Nevertheless, these models try again and again, without achieving the goal, of recreating work by work The forced postures of the personalities represented in Vallenilla´s Works, demonstrating that there is a possibility that the idiosyncrasy of Venezuela comes from the eternal intent, with form but without meaning, of imagining improvised utopias that result in mere rehearsals of the country.

Revelan Thomas Rivera Schatz elabora presunto "complot" para sacar de carrera a Pierluisi

Dicen que de frente apoyaba al gobernador pero de espalda su respaldo era con la comisionada residente Jenniffer González obteniendo un saco de votos de ambos bandos.

La exdelegada congresional, Elizabeth Torres, dijo en Normando en la Mañana que el senador Thomas Rivera Schatz y la comisionada residente Jenniffer González elaboraron un "complot" para traicionar al gobernador Pedro Pierluisi y "tomarlo de idiota". 

Mientras, el alcalde de San Sebastián, Javier Jiménez, dijo que Rivera Schatz de frente apoyaba a Pedro Pierluisi como candidato a la gobernación, pero de espalda su respaldo era con la comisionada residente Jenniffer González obteniendo un saco de votos de ambos bandos. 

Esto no debe sorprender a nadie. Muchos en Puerto Rico saben lo puerco que es Thomas Rivera Schatz. Pero me alegro que esto esté pasando en el partido más corrupto de Puerto Rico, el PNP.

La poesía alcanza lo no dicho, y lo deja sin decir. Es familiar, está indecentemente cerca, a veces es abrumadora, como grises cielos nublados sobre cordilleras melancólicas; es lo que es, y queda por siempre la pregunta sobre su naturaleza, y por qué seguimos buscando una respuesta.

Pedro Díaz de Oviedo (finales del siglo XV – principios del siglo XVI) 

San Orencio 

h. 1498 

óleo sobre tabla 

176,5 x 146 cm 

Nº inv. P00414 

Colección BBVA España 

La obra, al igual que Santa Paciencia —también en la Colección BBVA—, procede de la iglesia de San Lorenzo de Huesca y for­mó parte del antiguo retablo mayor realizado en torno a 1500, que fue desmontado a principios del siglo XVII al derribarse la basílica. De dicho retablo se han conservado fragmentos dispersos, algunos hoy depositados en el Museo Diocesano de Huesca. 

Este retablo inicialmente se atribuyó a Pedro de Aponte (documentado entre 1505 y 1530), pintor aragonés de prestigio casi mítico al que se asignaron muchas obras de esta época, pero más tarde se descarta esta autoría. Posteriormente, Chandler Rathfon Post las atribuyó a un tal Maestro de Huesca, formado seguramente con Miguel Jiménez (documentado entre 1462 y 1505), del que toma los halos dorados decorados con círculos concéntricos en relieve. Aunque perdure en ella mucho del gusto flamenco por los pliegues quebrados y la minucia decorativa, muestra rasgos de un incipiente Renacimiento en el tratamiento volumétrico de la figura y en ciertos pormenores decorativos. También recuerda al Santo Domingo de Silos de Bartolomé Bermejo (h.1440-h.1500) del Museo del Prado, procedente de Daroca y donde también el lujoso trono se decora con figuras policromadas, en ese caso de Virtudes. 

Alfonso E. Pérez Sánchez la consideró obra del pintor Pedro Díaz de Oviedo, que realizó el retablo de Santa María de Tudela y que consta se hallaba en Huesca en 1498 decorando las claves de la catedral y trabajando en el retablo mayor de la iglesia de San Lorenzo. 

Ambas tablas se encontraban empotradas en la antesacristía de la iglesia reconstruida hasta su venta, anterior a 1910. Pertenecieron a la colección de la duquesa de Parcent, Trinidad von Scholtz-Hermensdorff, gran impulsora del arte y la artesanía españolas, que las expuso, con toda su colección, en la Real Academia de San Fernando en mayo de 1911. Permanecieron en poder de la familia hasta 1979, año en el que fueron subastadas en Sotheby’s por los herederos de la duquesa, los príncipes de Hohenlohe, junto con el contenido de la finca familiar El Quexigal. Son adquiridas el 25 de mayo por el Banco de Huesca (integrado posteriormente en el Banco de Bilbao), ingresando por esta vía en la Colección.  Según la tradición aragonesa, San Orencio fue el padre de San Lorenzo y esposo de Santa Paciencia. Aparece sentado en un sitial o trono gótico de alto respaldo, cubierto de brocado y con los laterales y los brazales decorados con diez figuras de profetas —entre los que se identifica a Isaías por su filacteria— y otros seis personajes visibles parcialmente, todos ellos pintados en vivos colores, como si se tratara de esculturas policromadas. A sus pies, aparece el demonio maniatado, en alusión al espíritu del mal que durante su residencia en Labedan, diócesis de Tarbes, intentó sin éxito tentarle varias veces.  Viste una lujosa capa pluvial ricamente bordada de pedrería y perlas, y sostiene una vara florecida que alude a su intervención milagrosa en épocas de escasez en la ciudad de Huesca. A ambos lados, dos figuras de ángeles vestidos de blanco que portan en sus manos libros de oraciones.

Chavela Vargas

Chavela Vargas, was a mexican singer of traditional songs- rancheras to be exact. After a difficult childhood in Costa Rica, marked by illness, family conflicts and lack of affection, Chavela Vargas moved to Mexico at the age of seventeen, a country she adopted as her homeland. After performing various trades, at thirty she began her activity as a professional singer. In 1961 she released her first album, Noche de bohemia, under the direction of José Alfredo Jiménez. This work would be followed by a long list of albums, until completing the more than eighty that he recorded in his prolific musical career. In Mexico he met the best composers of the moment, and dated Frida Kahlo!!

Rebellious and bohemian, with her rough voice she dramatized rancheras, a genre traditionally sung by men. No one knew how to instill such lacerating passion into the lyrics of rancheras and boleros like her, enhancing the expression of spite, jealousy or anguish with the tearing of her voice. His interpretation of Macorina, a rebellious song from the 17th century, allowed him to play seduce the women in the audience by wearing masculine attire, smoking cigars and drinking tequila.

The excesses with alcohol, her lesbian love affairs, her intense friendships with Hollywood artists and intellectuals, her skills as a shaman, her retirement from the big stages at the end of the 70s and her triumphant return to the cinema, at the hands of the Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar, made her a legend in life. With more than 60 years of age, and finally having overcome her addiction to alcohol, the singer lived in effect a second golden age from the 90s until her death.

Also before dying she had been touring in Spain, and she was set in dying in México. I don't remember if she was able to do so, but I do think her body is somewhere in the country. She is also famous for the frase: "We mexicans are born wherever the fuck we want" or los mexicanos nacemos donde se nos da la chingada gana

In a more personal note, she was the first queer latina celebrity I ever knew off.
