Ánimo Production announces the first ever virtual “Boleros De Noche” concert.

“Boleros De Noche” is a musical and cultural experience that seeks to preserve, uplift, and celebrate Latin American bolero music history in Los Angeles, and is quickly garnering multi-generational audiences who enjoy and partake in this musical experience. Now in its sixth year, the series is curated by its founder Roberto Carlos, a young Los Angeles-based artist/promotor who has committed his musical journey to bolero music and its traditions.

LAS HERMANAS GARCÍA

Celia and Laura Garcia of LAS HERMANAS GARCÍA hail from Ometepec Guerrero, Mexico where there is little to no access to recording studios, performance venues or music schools. Despite these odds, they have managed to have their boleros and chilenas heard around the world. The sisters have performed at prestigious venues in Mexico and Europe and have received millions of listens and views on YouTube and streaming platforms.

Laura and Celia began singing in public at a young age and were immersed in the old bolero love songs from their region for as long as they could remember classics from the 40s, 50s and 60s by the likes of Alvaro Carrillo and Indalecio Ramírez. Las Hermanas Garcia reflects the personality of the Costa Chica and their success is bringing a welcome optimism to the region.  Their songs ‘Que sepan todos’ & ‘Sabor A Mi’ sung in the ‘amuzgo’ language , native  idiom of their father have earned over 6 million streams on Spotify.

ELLAS

This triple threat from Los Angeles, California has been dazzling audiences around the world with their unique blend of mariachi and modern music. Simply with a guitar, guitarron, violin and their angelic harmonies, Ellas reached #7 on the iTunes Latin charts for their debut album Primerafila. The young trio is composed of Suemy Gonzalez (violin and vocals), a graduate of USC’s prestigious Thornton School of Music, Nelly Cortez (guitarron and vocals), a fourth-generation mariachi musician and recreational pilot, and Melinda Salcido (guitar and vocals), who has toured with the likes of Joan Sebastian and recorded with Marco Antonio Solis.

Suemy, Nelly and Melinda have also earned Grammy nominations and a Grammy award in their own musical careers. Ellas has performed at iconic venues such as the Hollywood Bowl, the Dolby Theater, and the “nest” for the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The mixture of their own musical upbringing along with some of their favorite musical genres such as gypsy jazz, pop and country inspires audiences, leaving them wanting more.

ABOUT BOLEROS DE NOCHE:

L.A. cultural promotor Roberto Carlos launched the “Boleros De Noche” music series in 2015 in an effort to preserve, uplift, and celebrate Latin American bolero music history in Los Angeles. The series is committed to the coordination of quality cultural events that convene an intergenerational audience to share live bolero music. Since its launch, “Boleros De Noche” has presented more than ten highly successful concerts featuring international and local artists.

It is considered by many to be the most romantic music genre of Latin America. The genre originated in Cuba in 1883 but gained international notoriety once the music reached Mexico in the 1940s.
