What’s Las Vegas without a little “cuchi-cuchi”?
It’s been almost four years since Charo last headlined a show here, getting the town shaking with her unrestrained energy.
The Latin dynamo returns Friday to start a five-month engagement at the Riviera.
She speaks enthusiastically about the upcoming show. She speaks enthusiastically about everything. Her transmission has only one speed — overdrive.
Although Charo has lived and worked in the United States for at least 40 years, she still mangles spoken English in a charming accent thicker than spun honey. She sounded like this in a recent phone interview:

She will perform six nights a week at the Riviera until Christmas.
