Splice Originals Boleros WAV

Splice Originals: Boléros was produced by Erick Bardales featuring multi-GRAMMY-winning percussionist Martin Flores and guitarist Miguel Angel Flores in Splice studios at The Sound Factory in Los Angeles, CA. The two artists employed congas, bongos, Toca maracas, and requinto guitars captured on vintage microphones and processed with a real-life EMT 140 Plate reverb and various guitar pedals for adding a psychedelic effect for a spacier take on boléro. If a song like "Esclavo Y Amo" by Los Pasteles Verdes would stop you in your tracks to get out the sampler, this pack is for you.

While traditional boléro is a slow form of Spanish dance music originating in Spain and Cuba, contemporary boléro is a hybrid of other Latin and ballroom dances, combining the lilting rise and fall of the waltz, the contra-body movement of tango, and the slow movement and Latin music associated with the rumba.

Martin Flores has over 30 years of experience in touring the world with artists like Joan Sebastian, Paulina Rubio, La Santa Cecilia, and Jenni Rivera. He's also played on multiple Platinum-selling albums, recording with the likes of Joan Sebastian, Marco Antonio-Solis, Pepe Aguilar, Vicente Fernandez, and Alejandro Fernandez, among many others.

Miguel Angel Flores’ musical sound is an amalgamation of various musical idioms, colors, and textures. His sound blends nuances of boléro, jazz, blues, R&B rock, pop, country, and classical guitar into a sonic melting pot that he calls his own. Miguel Angel plays alongside GRAMMY-nominated and GRAMMY Award-winning acts such as Lupita Infante and La Santa Cecilia.
