About this Event

Join us on Friday, July 5 th at 12:00 pm for a special presentation of Bolero by Ángela Aguilar.

We’re delighted to welcome Ángela Aguilar to share her experiences and the journey of creating this visual documentary on the music of Bolero. The afternoon will begin with remarks from Ángela Aguilar along with a moderated Q&A followed by the documentary screening.

The documentary, Bolero follows Ángela Aguilar as she visits eastern Cuba to dive deep and explore the roots of the Bolero genre. Angela Aguilar is dedicated to preserving traditional Mexican music and is influenced by her family's musical legacy, which includes her grandfather Antonio Aguilar and father Pepe Aguilar. At 20, she continued this mission through the release of her album Bolero, which infuses romantic classics with new life. Along with the album, she presents a visual project documenting her exploration of Cuba, the birthplace of bolero. Bolero is the first installment of Sonidos del Tiempo, a revolutionary project that explores the legacy and history of various important Spanish-speaking musical genres.

Sonidos del Tiempo is produced by Pepe Aguilar and Simon Fuller. After various Mexico premieres, we are pleased to be the first in the US to present Bolero.
