about
Charo Bogarín, known artistically as "La Charo", is an artist dedicated to researching the musical folklore of her homeland. Founder of the duo Tonolec, she is also currently working as a soloist. She was born on 24 September 1972 in Clorinda, province of Formosa, Argentina. She is the great-great-granddaughter of the Guarani chief Guayraré. On 12 September 1976, her father, Francisco Javier Pancho Bogarín, was "disappeared" (unidentified) during the Videla dictatorship, so Charo moved with her sister and her mother, who was a frontier teacher (and later a systems engineer), to the city of Resistencia, capital of the province of Chaco. Artistically, Charo not only composes and sings, but also plays the bombo legüero, the charango, and the Venezuelan cuatro. In 2017 she released her first solo album entitled "La Charo". In 2018 she released her single "Sumaj Pachamama". In 2019 she presents her second album called "Lo que tengo", and the single "Cantora". In 2020 she releases the singles "Lo que tengo", "Canto enamorado" and "Soplo de girasoles": On 27 January 2021 the documentary "Hace ruido" is released, recorded in the Bosque Peralta Ramos in Mar del Plata, in which La Charo participates together with Sofía Viola and Paloma del Cerro.
