viva el bolero?
Can you say "viva el bolero" as if saying "long live the bolero-dance"?
And how is the word "viva" used in this context if it is a masculine form?
Gracias

yes, "viva el bolero" = "long live bolero-dance"
"viva" is not masculine, is a verb.
"viva" is not masculine, is a verb.
Nouns in Spanish show gender. The only time a verb shows gender is when it is in its infinitive form being used as a noun. In that situation it is masculine.
As ismarodi mentions the conjugated verb form has no gender.
