Chavela Vargas was known for her powerful and emotional performances of rancheras, a traditional Mexican music genre that deals with themes of love, heartbreak, and loss. She became a symbol of the Mexican LGBTQ+ community, as she openly identified as a lesbian at a time when it was still taboo to do so. Throughout her career, she performed throughout Mexico and Latin America, as well as in Europe and the United States. In the 1990s, she experienced a resurgence in popularity after Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar used her music in his films. She was awarded several honors during her life, including the José Martí Order from Cuba and the Fine Arts Gold Medal from Spain. After her death in 2012, she was remembered as a cultural icon and a legend of Mexican music.
