The queen of ranchera music, Chelo, is making her return to the stage for one final time.
Chelo’s farewell tour El Adios De Una Grande will arrive at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale on Friday, June 27.
Accompanying Chelo for this tour are legends of the Regional Mexican genre including Lorenzo De Monteclaro, Juan Valentin, Beatriz Adriana, Graciela Beltran, and special guest Yesenia Flores.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, March 14 at Ticketmaster.
Born in La Experience, Jalisco, in 1944, Chelo, known as The Mexican Voice, debuted in show business at age 16, singing ranchera music in the palenques, which are 360 degree arenas common all throughout Mexico. She is recognized as one of the pioneers of mariachi style music.
From an early age, Chelo showed interest in music and began to stand out on local stages. Her big opportunity came when she joined the famous group Mike Laure and His Comets.
Chelo is remembered for hits like “Dos Gotas de Agua,” “Mejor Me Voy” and “Que Sacrificio.” She was the first Mexican woman nominated for an English Grammy.
In addition to her music, Chelo also ventured into cinema, participating in several Mexican cinema films.
