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. Their follow-up album, Entre Flores, features all original material to be released by the iconic Ansonia Records in early 2025. The music draws from boleros and Latin soul, with the added extravagance of lush orchestral arrangements.
Miramar’s music has managed to captivate a pan-Latin audience already acquainted with the genre, but they have also made headways with non Latin audiences who seem to relate to he classic grooves and a depth of emotions that touches on the universal.
