“Kingston Bolero” is a single that takes the iconic original “Bolero” classical orchestral piece and transforms it into a dub ballad. Produced by Emanuele Della Valle who was raised with his grandfather playing him this musical work as a child, the producer went into the famous Tuff Gong Studios to create a fascinating dub version of the original, titled “Kingston Bolero.” During those three extensive jam sessions, a group of talented Jamaican musicians came together to create a new bolero.
The single is available now together with a music video directed by Randi Malkin Steinberger and Emanuele Della Valle. A full length sixteen minute version of the song was also created that takes the listener on a full length journey. The single version was edited by Harlan Steinberger.
The single will be available digitally worldwide, while the vinyl record will be launched in Jamaica, where it was born.
