The Golden Age of Latin American Boleros: Miramar

When Puerto Rican singer Reinaldo Alvarez was looking to name a new Bolero project he searched for something simple that would be familiar to Spanish speakers; a name that would reflect the humble poetry of everyday life. Miramar seemed perfect: a romantic snapshot of a place both close and far away from home. Miramar, the group, aims to capture that poetry through their music. Using an instrumentation that includes organ, piano, guitar, bass, percussion and an occasional string quartet (or symphonic orchestra...) the group’s arrangements distill the essence of the golden age of boleros.
