Regina Orozco She is one of the artists who can turn a dramatic situation into a comedy, not only because of the irreverence that characterizes her, but also because she can set it to music through cabaret.
“We make injustices into a farce, a delirium where we put the victims and the perpetrators and we make a whole interpretation; it is also based on my dark parts, on what I have suffered, for example, discrimination due to fatness,” he explains.
The cabaret has been with Regina Orozco since she was 19, when she was studying at the University Theater Center (CUT) and a classmate told her that Jesusa Rodríguez needed someone to sing opera; It was there that he knew what this genre was.

“I had come from doing farce with Hugo Argüelles, who was a master in the subject and told me that I had the aptitude for it, at that time the term cabaret was not widely used, but I sensed it and immediately started doing it and I have been doing it for 40 years.”
That passion and love that Regina feels for cabaret has been poured into the show Songs that return me to vice, which she will present tonight at the Teatro Bar El Vicio, a venue that is very special for her, because it was there where she began making her debut in cabaret.
“I did a repertoire with the pianist Baldomero Jiménez that portrays everything I have experienced there, and Fernando Rivera Calderón will be a special guest. There will be songs from my first albums, also some by Silvio Rodríguez, others that I did for the LGBT+ community,” he details.
“I’m going to tell gossip, because in that place I kissed politicians that I now regret; also there I saw the beginnings of Lila Downs, by Natalia Lafourcade, by Julieta Venegas,” he adds.
