SENSUAL

Description

In 1963, great Latin American artists such as Lucho Gatica, Felipe Pirela, Bienvenido Granda, Leo Marini, Benny Moré, Tito Rodríguez, Toña La Negra, Blanca Rosa Gil, and the so-called queen of boleros, Olga Guillot, enriched the musical landscape by giving a personality to the bolero. That year, amidst a new panorama, a star of the bolero was born from the depths of Venezuelan radio: Estelita Del Llano.
“Sensual,” her first album, is one of the greatest jewels of the genre, with arrangements and orchestration by Porfi Jiménez. The support of Porfi Jiménez's orchestra and his arrangements made “Sensual” one of the most successful albums of the time. The selection of the twelve songs on the album was also a success. Although the years of the greatest splendor of the bolero seem to be over, the bolero continues to spread throughout Latin America. The great success of “Sensual” lies in the arrangements and the choice of boleros featuring elements of cha-cha-cha, another genre that was enjoying great popularity at the time.
