BEAT LATINO 014: BOLEROS - Love in the time of boleros
From: Catalina Maria Johnson
Length: 00:59:05
Beat Latino celebrates in every hour a different facet of the extraordinary diversity of the Latin & Latino musical uiverse.
This hour presents the most romantic of the genres of our music...born in Cuba several hundred years ago, rooted in Mexico throughout the 20th century and widely extended throughout all of the Americas and Spain: the "bolero". Not Ravel's, but rather the velvety crooning that is at the heart of most Latin serenades.
This edition includes one of the smoothest, jazziest versions of one of the most famous boleros of all times "Besame Mucho", by the cuban Diva Mayra Caridad Valdes.
Bilingual commentary (English and Spanish) ensures that most audience members who would appreciate the music will also have access to the information about it.
Broadcasts very nicely in February for Valentine´s Day, or just about anytime!
