Boleros de Noche is celebrating 10 years of preserving bolero – Latin America’s most passionate and poetic musical genre in the U.S. The genre has been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, highlighting its status as a global treasure.

Boleros De Noche has spent the last 10 years organizing high-quality cultural events that unite an intergenerational audience to enjoy live bolero music.

Coming to the historic Bovard Auditorium at USC campus on Saturday, Feb. 14, Boleros de Noche’s “Cabaret Series” features Chicago’s Tres De Reyes and Lucía, winner of the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, showcasing her fresh and soulful interpretations.

Tres de Reyes is a contemporary bolero trio formed in June 2025 to honor and continue the legendary legacy of Los Tres Reyes. Led by Bebo Cárdenas, former lead vocalist of Los Tres Reyes for 15 years alongside founders Gilberto and Raúl Puente, the trio delivers an authentic and deeply emotional sound rooted in tradition.

Joining Cárdenas are brothers Adrián Ramírez and Ab Ramírez, accomplished musicians with extensive experience in bolero and popular music. Both were part of the acclaimed project 4 en Do, directed and produced by Armando Manzanero. Adrián Ramírez is a two-time Latin Grammy Award-winning producer whose credits include Alejandro Fernández, Guadalupe Pineda, Luis Fonsi and Joan Sebastian.

Tres de Reyes fuses classic bolero romance with fresh arrangements and exceptional musicianship, captivating audiences while honoring a cherished Latin music tradition.

Lucia is a 24-year-old vocalist from Veracruz, México, whose singular artistic vision bridges the gaps between jazz, Latin and pop music. She began her musical journey at age 2 with her parents’ son jarocho band, “Son de Madera,” and studied vocals at Universidad Veracruzana, earning a bachelor’s degree in jazz studies in 2022. She made history as the first Mexican artist to win the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition.

Lucía has collaborated with artists including Natalia Lafourcade and Aloe Blacc and has performed at venues such as Carnegie Hall. She recently released a debut album, produced by Grammy Award-winner Matt Pierson, featuring her interpretations of jazz standards.

The annual Boleros De Noche music series was launched in 2015 to preserve, uplift and celebrate Latin American bolero music in Los Angeles. Since its launch, Boleros De Noche has presented more than 15 concerts featuring international and local artists.
