IN THE CROWNExperience a powerful celebration of Latin romanticism and cultural revival as two bold voices in bolero music share the stage.
Miramar, led by the entrancing vocals of Rei Alvarez and Laura Ann Singh, and the lush arrangements of pianist Marlysse Simmons-Argandoña, has been hailed for “bringing bolero into the 21st century” (All About Jazz). With roots in Puerto Rico, Richmond, and Brooklyn, the group blends vintage elegance with contemporary spirit, earning praise from NPR, NBC News Latino, and World Music Central. Their performances—whether with rhythm sections or string ensembles—are as cinematic as they are heartfelt, and their discography spans acclaimed labels including Barbès, Daptone, and Ansonia Records.
Joining them is Maritzaida, a rising voice in Puerto Rico’s música bohemia revival. Accompanied by guitarist AJ Weibe, her intimate interpretations of boleros by Puerto Rican composers Sylvia Rexach and Tutti Umpierre have captivated audiences across festivals, radio, and film. Her 2024 album Alma Adentro: La Música de Sylvia Rexach y Tutti Umpierre, released on SideHustle Records, was named one of the Top 20 Albums in Puerto Rico by the Fundación Nacional para la Cultura Popular.
Together, Miramar and Maritzaida offer a night of timeless melodies, rich storytelling, and the enduring soul of bolero.
