Title: CHAN CHAN , Compay Segundo NEW MIX with VIDEO
Post by: Jean Pierre on February 04, 2021, 12:38:56 AM
BUMP new verse and video in the last message    ;)




¿Alguien escucha el español en Sc?

in music, I'm a sponge!...I love all kinds of music from all over the world...
I liked this song from Cuban folklore and I wanted to try to do it.
Although my Spanish is as bad as my English, music is universal.
...and this one is not easy to do at all...

with my nylon string guitar, bongo, ... and trumpet soundfont (I couldn't find a better trumpet sound, unfortunately)

demain je mettrai les paroles et leur traduction en anglais ;)

The soundtrack for the Buena Vista Social Club is often played in my household, and this is the favourite song from it. It always puts me in a holiday mood. You've done a great job with something that I imagine is very hard to tackle. Fantastic and intricate guitar playing, and the trumpet sounds good for a non-trumpet. Really good stuff :-)

Thank you Stephen and Greeny

I must admit I went through a lot to make this song which is not in my usual way, the rhythm, the phrasing, the guitar playing, the bongo rhythm, everything was difficult...I'm more at ease in the blues!

But I love to make "" musical intrusions "". :D

Fantastic...I love the way you have done the vocals with the high voiceon one side and the lower voice on the other...makes it very intimate sounding...like you are right in my kitchen playing this....real nice job on the guitar parts

oh man... I am doing some crazy dancing to this!  So much fun!  I know you have mentioned this before as I have but I swear this is latino....something I would hear maybe eating at a Mexican restaurant.  You nailed that sound!

This sounds like it was hard work JP. It's quite complex and the rhythm doesn't come easy (well to me at least....), and there's quite a lot going on. I think you did a great job, this sounds great and the guitar work is excellent (trumpet sounds fine as well). The vocals work really well and I like the way you put this together.

Very nice work, very different and well done for rising to the challenge!
