Okay, I'm into boleros now

[GRLMGC]

I'm such a weirdo. I heard some at my uncle's wedding. Well, I heard my grandparents' song. I love boleros

[Elidor]

1. Three Boleros

Beck's Bolero, by Jeff Beck

The original version of The Bomber, by the James Gang, featuring a very rare uncut version of the Bolero section by Joe Walsh.

And of course the original, if you can still stand it after all these years.

2. I LOVE boleros!

nothing weird about that

[GRLMGC]

5. Can you give me some recommendations?

I'm not familiar w/ the artists. I just like the way the songs sound, haha. I prefer trios

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

6. Depends on whether you were listening to older or newer ones

Trio Los Panchos is a traditional group that does boleros, as are Trio Vegabajeño.

Luis Miguel, a Mexican singer has a fabulous disc of traditional boleros..you can listen to some of them here:

His voice is fabulous so if you are just starting out, this would be worth buying..La Barca is one of my all time favorite songs and he does it incredibly well...the high guitar doing the solo is a guitar called a RAYMUNDO...it plays a short scale so it has a high sweet tone

7. I got one from Trio Los Panchos

It was good. I guess I'm into the older ones because the one i heard at the wedding was from my grandparents' time which wasn't that long ago (early 60s?) but it sounded pretty old school

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

8. It was probably Sabora Mi

that is probably the most famous bolero ever

btw...they recorded it with Eydie Gormet

[GRLMGC]

10. I wonder

I really don't know. It kinda bummed me out. Like reminding me of a past I didn't experience and looking at the dreary present. Sigh. It was very pretty though. Wait, they were in El Salvador at the time. So is that song famous in the U.S? Or all around the world?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. All around the world and every mariachi sings it as well

here's the link to Trio Los Panchos...if you have real player..Sabor a mi is on disc 2:

[GRLMGC]

[GRLMGC]

do with clothing also. I'm not dancing these days.....

[GRLMGC]

11. Umm no n/t

[JohnKleeb]

14. what are they?

I failed Spanish II and my delusions tell me I got a shot at Russian :).

[GRLMGC]

15. It's just a form of music

Check out some of NSMA's links. They should give you a pretty good idea

[JohnKleeb]

16. Oh, ok thanks

[GRLMGC]

18. I got a grip of them right now

I love them. It's kinda sad too because they're reminders of happier times for people I know and times now are tough :(

[JohnKleeb]

20. I am listening to sorta Irish sounding music right now

I got such a nice little mix on iTunes.

[GRLMGC]

21. I'm desperately looking for this song that's in one of my favorite

movies. But I can't freaking find it!

[JohnKleeb]

22. I hate when that happens

What song is it, perhaps maybe by some weird miracle I can find it.

[GRLMGC]

23. Soy infeliz by Lola Beltran

it may also be under songs of Almodovar

[JohnKleeb]

24. oh

well hope you find it. Its doubtful, I'll find it but I'll tell you what I find.

[GRLMGC]

25. I figured

It's okay, I own the movie so I can hear it from there, haha

On edit: Whoa, man. I think I found it!

[JohnKleeb]
