Can you please post a few songs here that are bolero? Hopefully they would be titles I could find in iTunes because I need it tonight. I thought I had bolero music but I put the CD in and discovered the nitwit who sold it to me sometime ago cannot tell the different between bolero and night club two, lol! I searched the music thread list and unless I am overlooking it, didn't see bolero there.

Thank you!
 
Beautiful Maria of My Heart from Mambo Kings (note - there are two versions; one is bolero tempo; the other is rumba).
 
White Flag by Dido works well
some versions of Ain't No Sunshine
Underneath Your Clothes by Shakira is slightly slow, but good
Casi Un Bolero (listed as Inter' Rumba) on Pais Tropical is a very nice bolero and proper speed :)

If you want a good thigh/quad workout.... try boleroing to "My Immortal" by Evanescence... closer to 20-22 mpm and you can really feel the burn at that slow speed

If you use Beautiful Maria of my Soul, The version sung in Spanish is better for Bolero (and just better in general IMO)

P.S. the Dance music guide link at the upper Right corner of the DF site includes about 20 bolero listings
 
Falling into You, Celine Dion
Album: Celine Dion: The Collector's Series, Vol. 1
Soft sound. 25MPM
Dreams for Plans, Shakira
Album: Oral Fixation, Vol. 2
Sadder, but still pretty. 24MPM
All I Need, Air
Album: Moon Safari
Good beat. 24MPM
Para Tu Amor, Juanes
Album: Mi Sangre
Juanes has some beautiful songs. This one just so happens to make a lovely Bolero. 24MPM
No One, Marc Anthony
Album: Marc Anthony
It's Marc Anthony. Of course it's romantic (one of those songs that ladies want their gents to dedicate to them ;). 24MPM
The Look of Love, Diana Krall
Album: The Look of Love
Slow and sexy. 24MPM
Algo Tienes, Martha Sanchez
Album: Latinos
A light romantic sound. I think it captures the character of the dance. 24MPM
