Hi Daniel. I have posted a few Brazilian jazz and also Latin jazz BIAB tunes on my website. These are only chord changes; there are no melodies, as per copyright law. Also, they date back to before RealDrums and RealTracks, but you can add those yourself.

yes, just don't by an everything pack and expect to get any real track latin styles. Nearly anywhre else will work better. Sears, walmart, the police station...


But you can bet they will be on sale soon. ala "Oh? did you want a bottom for your new boat? We have those right over here, lucky you, they are on sale today."

Hello Daniel: I'm glad you were able to find some Latin Band-in-a-Box songs. Just to clarify, the EverythingPAK offers many Latin MIDI sytles, RealDrums in a variety of Latin Styles and RealTracks in Bossa, Samba, Rhumba, Cha Cha, Mambo and Tango. You can listen to those demos at this link. http://www.pgmusic.com/realpaks.jazz.win.htm

Hi Daniel, Tres Palabras is also know as Without You. This may make your search easier. If you still can't find it I can send it to you.

Also, Samba Dees Days may be Some of These Days.

Thank you Bob for your answer .....

Are you sure that "Tres palabras" = "Without you" and "samba dees days" = "some of these days" ?

You seem to be categorical; i am in the doubt ...

Anyway, thanks for that !

Yes, Without You is the English title for Tres Palabras. Tres Palabras means Three Words. Later, Ray

Thanks to Gail for pointing out my misconception on the absence of Latin Styles. I based that on going to the styles menu and under Latin [ a place where one could safely assume Latin real styles might live ] and finding none. I after Gail emailed me I found several farther down in the Jazz real styles list. [ where there are other styles that are not jazz or even related to it.] I don't recall the number I just remember remarking how that that get in here. Something to do with my filter choices maybe. The Filer is a very good idea. My bad attitude arises partly form a call I made prior to purchasing the audiophile `11 version. I asked what everything meant and was told it meant everything pg music offers in the various biab packages. Since the focus of the new marketing was real players, real styles I was expecting to see some real styles in the Latin menu. Silly me! Still am. Waiting for the boat bottom sale....

The spanish moderator here posted this example of what can be done and the subsequent posts are about how he did it. Bears some scrutiny.

Fellows, you have to be careful when selecting which English version of "Without you" you select as the same song.
"Tres palabras" was composed by a Cuban musician_writer by the name of OSVALDO FARRE. . here's the english version sang by FRANK IFIELD:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbf_y65AwJ4
Other songs with the same name I have found is sang by various artists including Mariah Carey and have nothing to do with it. Here is s video with the instrumental version Of "Tres Palabras" played by prominent father and son Cuban musicians.

Ha, and it's -26F and I said to my wife, "I can take the plane 10 minutes from here and be in Cuba in 2 hours and 15 minutes". We are going to England and France in a few weeks (well April), and I decided no trip to Cuba this year. And the price included Cuba Libre's and they always made mine so very well, and I can not really drink any more...

I have to give that a listen....when the sun comes up.

Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4).

And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
