Thanks for the great information. I am just vaguely familiar with Bolero (due mainly to the classical composition of the same name) which is of course a jacket. But I did find that there was a genre of the same name.

Oh, yes.
@carmenm20 (just a couple of comments down here) posted one of the best examples of latin americanbolero.
I learned about the classical one from a 1957 Cantinflas movie, of all places (Mario Moreno, a.k.a Cantinflas, was a Mexican actor and humorist who satirized Ravel's piece and called it Raquel, his love interest in the movie). The movie is fun to watch and Cantinflas dancing of the classical melody is just hillarious.
I like this rendition of Ravel's Boléro by Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel
That is so beautiful. I am at peace with the world having watched!
@hlezama Thank you for this information, it is very good to know.
