Charytín Goyco (born María del Rosario Goico Rodríguez, on May 23, 1954 in Santa Lucía), better known in show business as simply Charytín, is a Dominican singer, television hostess and actress.
Born in Santa Lucía,El Seibo, to a Dominican father (of Russian, Serbian, Montenegrin, French and Spanish ancestry), and a Spaniard mother (her mother was an attorney from Asturias, Spain who found herself exiled during the regime of Francisco Franco). At an early age, her mother took her and her sister to Spain after breaking up with her father. She returned to the Dominican Republic after nearly ten years of living abroad, when her parents reconciled.
Charytín moved to Puerto Rico in the 1970s, where she met her husband, television actor and producer Elin Ortiz. During the 1970s, she began a weekly TV show on WAPA-TV, which aired every Sunday night until 1985.
Charytín became an international superstar with her song Mosquita Muerta, named after a character she played on a comedy section of her show, becoming a chart topper in places like Mexico, Venezuela, and Argentina. In 1979, she and Elin had their first son, Shalim, who is now a singer and actor who has appeared on Lizzie McGuire and Heroes.
