Life and career

Flor Silvestre was born Guillermina Jiménez Chabolla on August 16, 1930 in Salamanca, Mexico. She was Jess Jiménez Cervantes, a butcher, and Mara de Jess Chabolla Pea (1906 – September 5, 1993). In Salamanca, her father owned and operated a meat store. Francisco "Pancho" and Raquel, along with her younger siblings Enriqueta "La Prieta Linda," José Luis, Mar "Mary" and Arturo, are among her older siblings. Enriqueta and Mara de la Luz became singers, as well as Enriqueta and Mara de la Luz. Felipe Chabolla and Inés Pea, her maternal grandparents, were both born in Felipe Chabolla and Inés Pea.

Guillermina was born in Salamanca and began performing at an early age. Her parents, who were also fond of singing, encouraged her to perform. She loved the mariachi music of Mexican singer Jorge Negrete and Lucha Reyes, as well as songs that belonged to the pasodoble, tango, and bolero styles, which were fashionable in Mexico in the late 1930s and early 1900s. Her passion for singing and acting led her to her participation in Christmas pageants, school plays, and local festivals.

Her mother, who wanted to live in Mexico City, begged her father to sell all their Salmanca property and move the family to the Mexican capital. Mara de Jess brought her three children with her to Mexico City, leaving the youngest four (including Guillermina) in Salamanca in the custody of her sisters, who were nuns. Guillermina attended elementary school in Salamanca before reuniting with her family in Mexico City. Her parents enrolled her in the Escuela Bancaria Comercial Milton on Madero Avenue, where she attended private tutoring classes.

Guillermina Jiménez (Flor Silvestre) began her singing career in 1943, when she was 13 years old. At the Teatro del Pueblo, a theater located in central Mexico City's Abelardo L. Rodro, she and her father attended a performance of the fabled Mariachi Pulido. She stepped up on stage and told the stage manager that she wanted to sing after the show was over. The Mariachi Pulido's director refused to accompany her, claiming that they did not collaborate with amateurs, but that stage director Carlos López Santillán informed her that he would let her perform the following week and promised to bring a mariachi from the Tenampa bar to perform with her. "La canción mexicana," "Yo también soy mexico"), and "El herradero" were among her debut songs, dressed in a traditional Mexican blouse and skirt that her mother had made for her on her debut. Her appearance was a huge success, and she received a standing ovation from the audience.

In the play "La soldadera," directed by López Santillán, where she played a girl who comes out of a railway wagon and sings "La soldadera," a song written for her by José de Jes Morales, she came out of a railway wagon. "La soldadera" became her first song to be broadcast on radio by Mexico's national radio station, XEFO, and it was also broadcast on television. The song's name, which is Spanish for "the female soldier," was also her first stage name before it was claimed by another singer. Arturo Blancas, an Excélsior journalist and XEFO announcer, felt more "like a blossom" than a soldier and suggested that her stage name be changed to La Amapola, which means "the poppy." However, this stage name was also claimed by another woman, La Panchita's sister. Blancas chose "wild flower" from Dolores del Roo's 1943 drama film as the young singer's new stage name, and Guillermina Jiménez became Flor Silvestre.

Flor Silvestre took first place in an amateur competition sponsored by Mexico's most popular radio station, XEW, who is dubbed "the voice of Latin America from Mexico."

Flor Silvestre's performances were noticed by a showman who recruited her as part of his touring company, "Mexico's most popular [theater]" in the 1940s.

"Flor Silvestre, a young XEW singer who embodies the feeling of our land within the ranchera song," El Informador, Guadala's newspaper, described her as "Flor Silvestre, a young XEW singer who represents the feeling of our land within the ranchera song." Flor Silvestre and the showman's band toured Central and South America from 1947 to 1949, appearing in the best nightclubs along the way. When the company visited Argentina, Hugo del Carril performed Flor Silvestre to audiences. The company eventually returned to Peru, where they worked for the Mexican Air Force before returning to Mexico.

Flor Silvestre's manager gave her a deal to appear at El Patio, Mexico City's most popular nightclub. "Emilio Azcárraga and Gregorio Walerstein went there every day, and no one asked me to work," she continued, "and so many people called me and called me, and that's how I got [singing] on the XEW [station]"" later.
