Though Chavela was born in Costa Rica, she is usually associated with Mexican ‘ranchero’ music and its culture. The recognized singer passed away in 2012, at the age of 93.

In 2009, the “Los Angeles Times” reported that a diary purportedly belonging to Kahlo described the painter’s intense attraction to the singer. The author revealed that his decision to choose Vargas as the narrator of  “La Casa Azul,” occurred after he noticed inconsistencies in the statements the late singer made about her stay in Kahlo’s home. “In older interviews, she said some things and in recent ones, she said others,” said Alba, the author of the book. “In some she said she spent a week in the ‘Blue House’ and in others she said it had been years. There is no documentation to verify the relationship.” According to the LatinTimes, Frida Kahlo had a successful artistic career with her acclaimed artwork, earning accolades around the world. The artist’s fascinating personal life was adapted to the big screen in the film “Frida” in 2002, and on stage in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in “Frida Kahlo: Viva la vida!” in 2008. Frida suffered from several medical conditions throughout her life including a near fatal bus accident in 1925 that left her in severe pain and unable to bear children. She died at the age of 47 and was cremated upon her wishes. The urn containing her remains resides in “La Casa Azul,” which was turned into a museum in 1958 and displays several works of art and personal artifacts from her life.
