Bibi & blaka

This is my "latin jazz" take on an old, 3-chord icelandic lullaby. It's still widely known & used locally, but since it's virtually unknown anywhere else, I've edited a 'singing' preschool into the start of my version to give listeners a sense of how it's usually done.
Be mindful that the volume at the start is lower than the bulk of the song, so resist the urge to crank it up or you'll get a nasty shock when the instruments kick in! laugh

p.s. The image I used is of an airline pillow, containing a translation of the lyrics into english. If it's too hard to read, the link to the picture is here.

Formalities:

Style is _BOSSMKG.STY

RealTracks in style: 2284:Bass, Acoustic, BossaRon Ev 140
RealTracks in style: 1104:Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm BossaGrooveComp Ev 140
RealTracks in style: 2372:Guitar, Electric, Soloist BossaMike Ev 140*
RealTracks in song: 1292:Accordion, Rhythm TexMexCountry Ev 120
RealDrums: RealDrums in Style: BossaLewis


*The electric guitar actually alternates between the soloist and bossa rhythm guitars throughout, but since the track starts with the soloist, that's what gets listed into the Memo.
And there's also a ST Electric Piano in parts, plus one of the latest sax soloist (Phil, if memory serves). Your truly tops it off with the melody cool

p.s. Forgot to mention I merged the Bossa Perc set with Lewis in a DAW (still hoping for this to be added as an option directly in BBox).

Hey Icelander, I listened to your lullaby and I didn't fall asleep, the proof of its appeal ;-)

Pleasant listening and and happy to hear the accordion, an instrument I would like to find again in the future PGM RTs with different styles (french style e.g.;-), especially as soloist track.

Here, it is a tex/mex style, I am amazed it fits well at some places of the tune, less at some others.

I'm definitely with you on that sentiment! I'm a big fan of that instrument (which may have counted towards a slight overuse here), but as you said, my options were a bit limited.

Hi!

Very nice! For most of us Westerners, the Icelandic language is very difficult ... thanks for the translation!

Di and I love Latin music. This is so soft and enjoyable. Nice selection of instruments and well mixed. Very nice!

Very cool. I like the intro with the preschoolers and the
jump to the Bossa groove. I'm also in agreement about
wanting more accordion tracks. I've used both the pop
and Tex-Mex RT's but more would be nice. Throwing the
Tex-Mex RT in there was infinitely more effective than
I could have imagined.

Everything worked for us. Enjoyed the spin!

I'm pleased to see the appreciation for that very rudimentary edit, which I always just regarded as the "necessary evil" addition to my part of the piece, given the target audience (i.e the people on this forum).
