Description: Bolero is an indispensable part of the Latin American sentimental song. It combines the language used in European poetry with African rhythms of enslaved peoples and the sentiments of the native peoples of the Americas. Lyrics allude to daily life, and the songs are performed in a variety of spaces, from households to festivals and large concert halls. The practice is passed down within families. As a strong cultural symbol for Cuban and Mexican societies, it is a means of expressing emotions and feelings.
