Carrasco moved to Spain from her native country. In Spain, she enjoyed wild success. She had her first big hit when she was chosen to play Mary Magdalen together with Camilo Sesto in the first Spanish version of Jesus Christ Superstar in the mid-1970s. She also hit the airwaves strongly in the late 1970s, with songs such as "Cariño Mio" ("Love of Mine") and "Quererte a Ti" ("Loving You"). "Quererte a Ti" in particular gave her much exposure all over Latin America, in the United States and Europe. She later had a great comeback with albums such as Dama del Caribe and Candela, as well as Angela.
Angela continues to make music, and after her recent A Puro Dolor, she released a new album, Muy Personal, which includes some new songs in new styles as well as remakes of some of her most famous songs such as "No, no hay nadie mas" and "No se como amarle" from Jesus Christ Superstar. Her voice continues to be strong and her music fresh and unique. She has also taken several steps into theatre.

Tú que sabes hablar mejor
Quiero que tú le digas
Lo que siente mi corazón
Oye guitarra mía
Tú que sabes hablar mejor
Quiero que tú le digas
Dile que la luz del día
Dile que el amanecer
Dile que cada momento
Me recuerda su querer
Me recuerda su querer
Oye guitarra mía
Tú que sabes hablar mejor
Quiero que tú le digas
Lo que siente mi corazón
Oye guitarra mía
Tú que sabes hablar mejor
Quiero que tú le digas
Lo que siento yo por su amor
Y que al contemplar la noche
Con mi alma enamorada
La negrura de los cielos
Me recuerda su mirada
Me recuerda su mirada
Oye guitarra mía
Tú que sabes hablar mejor
Quiero que tú le digas
Lo que siente mi corazón
Oye guitarra mía
Tú que sabes hablar mejor
Quiero que tú le digas
Lo que siento yo por su amor
Dile que en la madrugara
Recuerdo sus frases bellas
Mientras mueren mis suspiros
Con la luz de las estrellas
Con la luz de las estrellas
Oye guitarra mía
Tú que sabes hablar mejor
Quiero que tú le digas
Lo que siente mi corazón
Oye guitarra mía
Tú que sabes hablar mejor
Quiero que tú le digas
Lo que siento yo por su amor
Dile que mientras yo duermo
El está en todos mis sueños
No preguntes que me pasa
Si que triste me despierto
Es que al despertar lo pierdo
Oye guitarra mía
Tú que sabes hablar mejor
Quiero que tú le digas
Lo que siente mi corazón
Oye guitarra mía
Tú que sabes hablar mejor
Quiero que tú le digas
Lo que siento yo por su amor
