Essential Boleros

Latin Roots –Essential Boleros: They Are Everywhere


To hear Catalina Maria Johnson tell it the bolero is everywhere. Not just throughout the Latin speaking world, but everywhere. The bolero, like so many Latin styles, originated in Cuba. For her look at essential boleros Catalina plays two songs you know but may not know as boleros. The international standard “Besame Mucho” and the English language “What A Difference A Day Makes” from Dinah Washington. And check out more boleros from everywhere on our Spotify playlist.
