Hi Ermar. Link is broken to your song. I checked your soundcloud songs and didn't see it.

Yes Scott! Oh! For some unknown reason the guitar was missing from the file uploaded. So I deleted it and uploaded again right now. Now should be ok. Thank you for your prompt information about the link ;-) Hi Ermar. Link is broken to your song. I checked your soundcloud songs and didn't see it.

Ermar,
Me gusta mucho! This is real nice. I think this is one of the first tangos on the forum in a very long time. I enjoyed my listen very much.

Nice! You are channeling your inner Santana on this one  One minor thing about the mix, in my opinion I think that lead guitar would be better if you placed it more towards the center instead of that hard left pan, it is the featured instrument after all. But good song, great playing on both instruments, I enjoyed it very much.

Ermar,
Wow! This pulls in a couple of genres of styles and creates a really magical musical ride. It's very easy to hear that you "love tango". Such a terrific listen!
All the best,
Noel

Santana rides again. Excellent chops and tone set to the perfect tango backing track.
I do agree with Dave that the guitar should be more centered.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

What a tune! I'm definitely getting Santana vibes on this one. The guitar on this has a great sound to it - I love the subtle distortion. It makes the tune sound a lot more raw and emotional than I think it would have otherwise. To boot, it has a ridiculously infectious groove to pull the whole thing along. Great work, and thanks so much for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

Wow, this is not what I was expecting when I read the title of the song. It's a lot more gritty then what I expected, and the guitar really makes it grungy in a great way. Love it.
Cheers,
Ember
