| Added by magataganm, 27 Apr 2014 A Bolero is a genre of slow-tempo Latin music and its associated dance. The bolero is a 3/4 dance that originated in Spain in the late 18th century, a combination of the contradanza and the sevillana. Dancer Sebastiano Carezo is credited with inventing the dance in 1780. It is danced by either a soloist or a couple. It is in a moderately slow tempo and is performed to music which is sung and accompanied by castanets and guitars with lyrics of five to seven syllables in each of four lines per verse. It is in triple time and usually has a triplet on the second beat of each bar. "Gema" (Gem) is a Spanish Bolero popularized in the mid 1950's by the Guitar and vocal group "Los Dandy's". Although originally written for Voice and Guitars (3), I created this arrangement for my friend and Pastor Julian J. Champion of the West Point School of Music located in Chicago IL. It has a single purpose for making music accessable to inner-city and disadvantaged youth. They are a struggling organization with a wonderful purpose. This arrangement is created for Steel Orchestra (Lead Pan, Double Lead (2), Alto Pan, Cello Pan (2) & Bass Pan) Steel Drums. | |||
