Margarita Pracatan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Margarita Pracatan is a Cuban novelty singer, who got success in the 1990s when Clive James got her to perform live on his TV show on numerous occasions. Radio DJ Martin Kelner also played her frequently on his BBC Radio show.
Legend has it that Clive James first spotted her performing in a market square in Brazil, and thought she was so laughably bad that he had to have her on his show. He sweet-talked her into believing he was serious, and she signed up. Not once on the show did he make it overt that he knew what he was doing, but his introductions to her end-of-show performances contained a tiny amount of teasing irony.
Margarita can be seen on the Manhattan Public Access Channel on Saturday nights at 9:30pm.
