Hello, Everybody,

Do you like Latin Music?
Last year, I've created a CD of ballroom dancing requested by a dance school of my acquaintance.
The Title of the CD is “Fascinating Social Dance Music” which contains 16 songs of various dance styles, such as Waltz, Tango, Quickstep, Foxtrot, Jive, Samba, Rumba, Cha-Cha, Paso Double and so on.
To write those songs, I thankfully used Band in a Box including every music styles.
I will introduce you a Salsa song from the CD.

Title: カリブの誘惑 (Translation: Temptation of the Caribbean)
Vocal: Natsuki Yoshikawa, a jazz singer from my hometown.
Played with Piano Trio, Bandoneon and 4 part strings.
Style is _L_MAMBO.STY
Style Instruments are :
RealTracks in style: :Bass, Acoustic, Mambo Ev 150
RealTracks in style: :Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Mambo Ev 150
RealDrums in Style: Mambo^1-Sticks,RideClassic

Hello again, Shigeki Adachi.

I really enjoyed listening to this composition. You're a very talented musician. This does not sound like Band In A Box at all.

Also, I love the singer. Such a great voice.

I looking forward to what you plan to post next time. So far it's two great songs out of two great songs!

All the best,
Noel

Shigeki, very nice composition. I especially enjoyed the haunting strings as they weave their way through the song. Well done.

Hello, Noel, Guenter, Patrick, Pradon, Janice & Bud, Alyn and everybody,
Thank you very much for your warm comments.
I am really happy to hear from you.

I sometimes sing myself, but am not a good singer and I’m male.
So I like better my songs to be sung by female singers.
I would like to post my music again.
Thank you

Shigeki Adachi

Hi Shigeki, great song and production. I'm not surprised by the salsa vibe and Japanese language, I know that there was a big salsa movement in Japan years ago, being La Orquesta de la Luz band one of my favorites. Looking forward to more from you.

Mike B.
