I hope someone here can help me out.
Out of the hundreds/thousands of styles available, surely there must be a style
that fits Corea's Spain perfectly?

I mean a style for the main groove of the song.

I don't think there is a close match in BIAB. A search suggested _TRIPEAR, _RALLY & _RAMBHA.
I doubt if they are very close at all.
Additionally, Spain needs those single side-stick beats playing behind the left and right hand unisons.

Thanks AT, that's a shame really. frown
After all these years, nothing even remotely close.
The groove (style) they get is really top notch.
It's actually something I think that is achievable in BIAB if the programmers put their minds to it.

As I mentioned, the unisons are not really that important. It's just the main groove that I am after.

This is absolutely my favorite performance of 'Spain', by Yohan Kim (he was about 15 or 16 years old when he performed this).

Amazing talent:

I haven't tried to do this song in BIAB, but in addition to the stop-time hits in cut time that AudioTrack mentioned, it breaks into a nice groove that I think some of the samba instruments might be able to simulate.

You may be able to find a decent MIDI file somewhere, that is specifically a backing arrangement of Spain.

Some I found:
https://www.midi-hits.com/search-results/type-title/find-spain/all-words-off/

https://bitmidi.com/c-corea-spain-mid (apparently a free download)

Another download site here:

Thanks folks for your help!
I never would have searched for a Samba style for the song, but it seems to work best with BIAB.

I play the jazz trumpet chair in one big band that loves to play Spain. I have a blast blowing over the samba feel.
