Frankie Reyes - Boleros Valses Y Mas

Boleros Valses y Mas is the Stones Throw debut from Frankie Reyes, the alias of Gabriel Reyes-Whittaker who also records as GB (Gifted & Blessed). Comprised mostly of popular latin standards from the mid-twentieth century, the source material was reworked by Reyes under an approach he’s dubbed “technoindigenous studies” which explores his Puerto Rican heritage through modern electronics. The inspiration for Boleros Valses y Mas formed when Los Angeles radio collective Dublab invited Gabriel to participate in an event themed specifically around Latin American modernism.
