Let’s celebrate the bolero eterno! On Dec. 5, UNESCO inscribed the bolero in its prestigious “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity” list. Boleros are an indispensable part of the Latin American sentimental songbook, with form and lyrics deeply rooted Cuba and Mexico — the countries that proposed that the bolero be included in that prestigious UNESCO list. The bolero combines the language used in European poetry, with African rhythms of enslaved peoples and the sentiments of the native peoples of the Americas. This week’s Beat Latino features boleros old and new, a beautiful selection of our most exquisite torch songs that bring together identity, emotion and poetry. Sit back, sip a delicious and appropriate libation, and enjoy! Featured photo: Jessica Medina

We had the most amazing time at the Folk Alliance International conference, and had a chance to experience marvelous Latine folk music. We heard everything from Appalachian and llanero combinations to Mariachi to Folk Pop and ballads in Kaqchikel, an ancestral Mayan language. We enjoyed the participation of musicians with roots in Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panamá, Spain, and the USA. Here’s a recap of the music we heard, including versions of songs from a legendary, spontaneous, organically evolving and joyful jam which laid out exemplars of a Latine Songbook. Enjoy!

Romance is in the air this month and there is no torch tune more intensely fiery than our boleros. Born in Cuba in the 19th century, nuestros boleros past and present are the finest distillations of longing, love requited and unrequited, passion and desire.

We lost one of the great icons of nuestra música recently, singer/songwriter Pablo Milanés from Cuba — one of the cofounders of the Nueva Trova Movement. A prolific composer of sweet ballads and gently political anthems rooted in traditional Cuban son and “filin” cubano, his music was the soundtrack to several generations of lationamericanos. Hasta luego, querido Pablo, your music is eternal!

This week’s Beat Latino is an exploration of the iconic ranchera music from Mexico, popularized around the world by recently deceased Vicente Fernandez. Heartfelt, always passionate, often tragic, it’s the music of “love, pain and tears” as well as resilience! Ranchera music, born in the countryside and during Mexican Revolution, also came to represent the spirit of Mexicanidad on both sides of the border. Sit back, sip a tequila or mezcal, and raise a glass to life, love, triumph over tragedy and Ranchera music!

This week’s Beat Latino shares a wonderful selection of Grammy 2022 nominees in different categories. True, the nominations often center on classic, iconic and well-known artists, and the boundaries of what gets classified as what can puzzle, but the music always amazes, from the grooves that drive us to the dance floor to those that make us sigh and cry. And we are particularly pleased to see Los Lobos nominated in the “Americana” category. Somos America!
