Plot

La ronca de oro is the story of Helenita Vargas, a woman who wanted to be free in a terribly sexist era of the 1950s, where women had more duties than rights and were sentenced to be mothers and wives only, found in singing rancheras one way to express her deep desire for freedom, overcoming all obstacles in a prejudiced society, starting with her family. That coming music of Mexico, which after years of struggle would bring success, was the origin of the worst humiliations and sufferings, but also became the soundtrack of her two great loves: one that nearly ended her life and another that filled her days with happiness. Helenita made her mark as a woman, as a person and as a singer, anticipating the taste and feel of the people. Like anyone, she understood that popular music has no age, no sex, no class and that in times of violence, which would achieve unite an entire people would be her unique voice.[3]

Production

After nearly four months at audio and video very personal moments, newspapers, interviewing relatives and friends of Helenita.

Another of the great challenges of the golden husky was in the artistic part, because it is set in the years 1950 and 1970. Therefore, the team recorded several scenes in Buga, a city that retains its colonial architecture. Also at several locations in Cali, the Ortiz and La Merced Bridge are some.[4][5][6][7][8]
