MIRAMAR plays bolero-beat, sung in duo form by Rei Alvarez and Laura Ann Singh and arranged for a full band by pianist Marlysse Argandoña. In the Latin world, boleros are the ultimate expression of love and suffering and hold cross-generational and cross-national appeal. Miramar first gained some notoriety with their debut album
Dedication to Sylvia Rexach (Barbès Records), a tribute to the great Puerto Rican bolero composer. The last Barbès single, was an arrangement for string quartet of Sylvia Rexach's classic,
OLAS Y ARENAS. Their follow-up album,
Entre Las Flores, is an album of original material to be released by
Ansonia Records in early 2025. The music draws from boleros and Latin soul, with the added extravagance of lush orchestral arrangements. You can watch a video of the single off of that album,
