Una Aventura Más

"About seven years ago I started to make regular trips to South America, Cuba and Mexico and this is where I really cemented my affection and appreciation for what I came to understand to be Bolero music. I started collecting Bolero music from all across Latin America. For the uninitiated, Bolero music was born in Cuba and developed into different styles in places like Mexico and Puerto Rico. A bolero is played slowly but with a strong rhythmic quality that provides a foundation for melodies that are mostly sung in a highly dramatic manner. The jazz musician will easily pick up on the sophisticated chord arrangements that often underpin a bolero. In terms of complexity, a classic bolero song often has a similar structure to a jazz ballad but with different rhythmic qualities. To hear a bolero sung by one of the greats can be a real treat for someone from a Nordic country. We are not as used to hearing a singer pour every bit of their being into a song the way a bolero singer will...Una Aventura Más is Rimbombante's tribute to the Bolero greats but includes original music like Locura Habanera."
