Mexican Boleros: Songs of Heartbreaking Passion & Pain 1927 - 1957
US-0363
- Released: June 25, 2007
It was music which millions of Latinos fell in love to, found pleasure in, and cuckolded others to: The Mexican Bolero.
The rise began in Mexico City’s brothels, finding its prime in the Golden Thirties, when it conquered the whole continent with beautiful tear-jerking songs. The Amazonian jungle, the Argentinean pampas or the New York concert halls – everywhere the Bolero was paid homage to.
It was the soundtrack to innumerable melodramas and gun movies, today’s Mexican TV Premiers would be unthinkable without its success.
Still Bolero tear-jerkers never were mass productions, but compositions comparable to cut and polished diamonds: delicious, crafty and precipitous.
This compilation is a sound trip through the dance-halls, cabarets and gangster’s dens of the sensual Mexico of the thirties, a trip through the emotional world of machos, masochists and love lunatics.
