Charo mini-bio: Her father was a lawyer who was exiled to Casablanca during the Franco dictatorship, returning only when Franco died. Her mother was a homemaker. Received the Distinguished Career Award from Hispanic Exhibitor and Distributor. Fluent in Spanish (native language), English, French, Italian, and Japanese. Was winner of 'Guitar magazine''s Readers Poll as Best Flamenco Guitarist two years in a row. Her trademark "cuchi, cuchi" comes from her nickname for her dog, Cuchillo (Spanish for "knife"): "When Cuchillo was happy he wiggled. I copied him and I used to say 'como Cuchi, como Cuchi'. Everybody thought that it was very cute when I wiggled and say cuchi-cuchi, and they give me cookies and candy. Now, every time I say cuchi-cuchi, people give me money." Became a U.S. citizen in 1977. Charo long maintained that her stated date of birth was incorrect due to a "clerical error." Official documents in Spain and the United States maintained she was born in 1941, but Charo argued she was actually younger. In 1977 she went to court, and was able to successfully convince the judge to rule that she was born in 1951. This would have made her 15 at the time of her marriage, and the legitimacy of this date is widely questioned.
