Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Pepe Sánchez gave rise to "Los Cuatro Grandes," four songwriters based in Santiago who were associated with early bolero and trova styles and brought the bolero to Havana after the country gained independence. They are: Sindo Garay (1866-1968); Alberto Villalón (1882 - 1955); Manuel Corona (1880 - 1950); and Rosendo Ruiz (1885 - 1983).[1] Of these, the works of Garay are the best documented. However, Villalón is of particular importance to the development of bolero in that he was the person who brought it to the Yucatan in Mexico.[2] We will look at one of his compositions.
