oh you know, just Peru's idea of entertainment. What I enjoy when i'm home with my mommy. say hello to CHOLA CHABUCA, only the most impressive public figure in Peruvian entertainment. Basically the most beloved cross-dresser in Latin America, I've been watching Chola Chabuca's variety shows since I can remember. She's hilarious, and when not in costume, is actually a pretty good Salsa artist. Although loved, la Chola is actually controversial at times, yet perpetually influential. Recently diagnosed with AIDS, she's become a powerful advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness.
In a Catholic, traditional Latin American country, a succesful entertainer of this type seems almost an anomaly, but la Chola is most definitely an exception we've all come to know and love. Just check her out on TV one of these days, she gets pretty crazy and hilarious!
