Gisela Romero Latin Quartet: Bolero Night
2026-02-21 20:00 - 23:00
Bolero is a deeply romantic Latin music genre born in the late 19th century, where melody and poetry meet to tell stories of love, longing, and intimacy. Characterized by expressive melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and a gentle, swaying rhythm, bolero invites the listener into a world of emotion and nostalgia. Each song feels like a whispered confession or a timeless love letter, celebrating passion, vulnerability, and the beauty of human connection. More than a style, bolero is a feeling—an enduring musical embrace that speaks directly to the heart.
