Bolero is the rhythm of love but love but never gets fashionable bolero olvido.Hace is heading to a couple of years I wrote an essay on one of the most popular dance genres: The rhythmic afrohispanocaribe Bolero. I was aware that although love never gets old, the pace is on track to fade in the radio stations, TV, record labels, heart and body of lovers. On the dance floor is not programmed by a shortage of dancers. The most surprising was the muse flew very far from the skulls of the composers and arreglistas.Acaso because its subject is worn out or exhausted.
From the market perspective is to understand what is happening today. The music for some time ceased to be an inspiration and almost heavenly state of the soul in communion with the estrus-to be a simple and rough business, perhaps the most tasteless of the globalization of the economy and other activities of mankind. A custom-manufactured product and now working as writers, arrangers and the vast majority of casual players.
In the letter to which I referred at the beginning, pointed out that not every day they are born mortal scientists saw the light of life and everything was invented and discovered. So there were available to continue building knowledge bases and the Bolero is no exception to this rule.
The uncertainty of today with the overall cornering romance is not new, starts from the moment it is not historically accurate as possible with any degree of accuracy the date of birth of the genre to spread its roots from Europe to America.
Cuban scholars like Dr. Cristobal Diaz Ayala boricua have written since 1830 began to flow gender dropwise into the arms of the Creole Song and Zapateo-preceded by the English Country Dance Country Dance French and then in our Caribbean sank their roots in Haiti and, on the occasion of the revolution on the island swam to Cuba to become Anti initially Afro-Cuban Dance, Dance, Habanera and Danzon. Other precedence over the emergence of the Danzon-1879.
One of the approaches and consensus among historians is that musicógrafos have written that the Bolero of our America, which was issued from 1885-1886 - there was absolute clarity in their origin and meaning. Converge it was more the product of a startup. Without any similarity the Iberian Bolero rhythmic and not as semantic as it was a dance of light movement, which called Volero (to fly and gypsy dance with acute and rapid movements that simulated the flight of birds) accompanied by guitars, wooden crates and hand clapping.
was precisely the pen of a tailor in Santiago de Cuba, empirical musician, guitarist and musical director de la Trova in Santiago de Cuba, José Pepe Sánchez (March 19, 1856 - 1918) with its composition Tristezas that was formally recognized as the creator of the first Bolero.
music written in 2 periods of 16 bars each, instrumental passage separated by 1 run melodically with the guitar strings and known as the Parade. From this work, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama and the rest of the Caribbean Mediterranean who brought other spices to the large pot of Bolero. Even Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia and the rest of the continental and insular American. The rest is a history of more than 120 years.
will not go because that is not the purpose of this nota.Su simple lyric, but it shakes the soul and the body still is praised: give me your sorrows Sorrows mujerprofundo doubt me pain.
No proof of love that shows through
how I suffer and I suffer for you.
adverse Luck is with me, keeps
broaden my passion.
gave me a kiss
one day and put it in your heart.
Worn themed Bolero?
Among the tangle, the clear and indisputable is that in his extensive decanting the Bolero has always been in the service of love. Have you walked barefoot in the world making their own stories that have served with excitement to the senses to embrace forward to his lyrics.
The mission has never faded-dress and impregnate amatory language lovers to gather. Furthermore, as the result of a mix between pop culture with all its ethnic heritage, it was possible to interpenetrate so that they melt so solidly that appear as one.
The marriage of Africanized Europe and America recently discovered with all its implications.
is inconceivable to accept that the inspiration and the speech has been castrated Bolero a cut of the brain and emotions of the composers, arrangers and performers.
I am more inclined to think that some of the responsibility is attributable to the consumer society of today that dragging its services in recent decades, reached the gates of the Century 21 desensitized and conditioned to a life of their way to be disposable junk. With sex as part of the physical immediacy only. Mind on the provoking sharp for orgasm and ejaculation as passengers on the speed of light. Reflection of the irrational animal instinct. Nothing different from a herd in which the dominant male as a stud all reserves the right to enter to whichever female is going through and cause. A simple violation. Distant amorous caresses and plots to seduce the cool and liaison bodies of a couple at the rhythmic beat of a Bolero.
In the absence of the foreplay before making love: Is there anything left after the event? Not be better to keep the sweet memory of the conquest sincere or not induced by a passionate Bolero? Do not forget that the condition of universality of the genre favors the right and ability to violate borders and language barriers. Even beyond the technology and modernity. Where do not I hear a Bolero? It is not uncommon to see Amasis (strongly embraced) in a corner on a tile to a couple of Europeans enjoying the dance of a hot and provocative Latin American Bolero.
Although currently not understand the lyrics Castilian (English) the melody will penetrate through the pores and exciting. Or vice versa. It is the only genre that globalization emotions in the most natural and simple language: The status romántico.Por visceral, has stood the test of all fashions and trends in music, opening his arms to all possible mergers and hybridizations: Bolero Son, Bolero Cha, Bolero, Mambo, Bolero Montuno, Bolero Pop Bolero Guajira, etc ... without losing their identity and establishes mission: to serve the fans.
Reasons for gender is almost forgotten and in danger of extinction
It's true that not many Boleros write as before. Survive the old repertoire. The epilogue ends hearing listening to the classics. We have to look very closely at the new creations.
And everything changes and passes, it seems that sick remain seated while waiting for another reborn: Agustín Lara, Rafael Hernández, Tite Curet, César Portillo, Sofronín Martinez, Alfonso de La Espriella, Armando Manzanero, Consuelo Velasquez, etc ... Still, boleros Festivals abound, like that of Havana, Santiago de Cuba, Cartagena de Indias, Riohacha, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla, San Juan, Panama, Mexico and many others who had hand Aged and counted radio programs are struggling to keep afloat.
Still: The Bolero is the way to oblivion. One swallow does not make a summer.
Little is recorded, the youth is not interested in learning to dance and appear very few singers. For them life lost. To make matters worse, dying the great composers and arrangers, leaving orphans in the cold light of gender and which are not foreseen flying their flags again: Just because the genre and not commercial. Little or nothing sells. So not interested in cultivation. It's easier to jump, bitch and give bland spin around like crazy to have elegance and rhythm to dance.
This reality is complex to address.
healthy also understand that what I write here is not dogmatic and open arms to the useful and constructive debate. Rather an invitation to build an opinion. Remove the story without trying to understand it is a disservice to ideologies. With the crystal clarity on the possible differences between Cuban and English Bolero. They only approached in the name. On another occasion I will indicate to the 3x4 and 2x4 of the bars in cahoots accomplice.
Does stopped using the Bolero to love? "Gone serenades? No ... not the shit! Perhaps the piece worthless Those green eyes (1929) Cuban outburst fluid Nino embobao Menéndez (love) Conchita, a beautiful Cubiche Utrera with eyes that kill. And it was the brother of the lady who helped to compose and arrange the theme anthology. The arrechera (heat) climaxes by listening Love me too much of the great Cuban Maestro Gonzalo Roing. And then what else?
Love me much, my sweet love
that you always adore,
me with your kisses and your touch
acallaré my sufferings.
When
really loves me like I love you,
is impossible for me so separate sky
live.
possibly
The questions are my guidelines for regarme (Extended) shell on the beach. Recognize in individual analysis that there is a dark hand but few face and contradict visible because they fear losing their status of In. No need to test the shifting mud land for them to realize that not only can be killed. It is metaphor.
The Payola (pay at the station to spread a disc) is a universal monster here and there. Programmers and DJs are far to understand that to preserve the centenary gender must be renewed daily audience. After all, the letters will still panders to the lovers and lovers. And it is a ball if they are not ton: No. Every love is a feeling, a new failure, another story of disappointment and pain opens the way to remove nail another nail.
The irony is that just as bad calls abound Salsa Schools and other genres, I am looking in the Yellow-eyed and full sun an academy that teaches dance Bolero. Where to get hungry looking tenderly loving their bodies burn and draw a spark to braid instigator Bolero frenzied. Take the heart beat, the brain then move the legs and the soul forces that fuel the arms to help us push harder to be loved. Now I'm going to plagiarize the Master musicógrafo and compatriot Cesar Pagano: Let us invade the corrupter of children and adults: The Bolero.
I believe that gender is not going away, would be tantamount to denying the feelings of humanity or that they are deaf or closed to caress and love. Is it what the feelings are extinguished, too?
not deny the nostalgia we visit from time to time and at that moment what better than an electrifying Bolero in a sublime desired company to stop the adrenaline and pheromones flooding the bed. The genre is as old and as rich as love, a kind of universal grammar lovers.
