Hi all,
I've tried to build a bridge between blues and flamenco.

Christian, the intro reminded me of Django Reinhardt.
Great use of RTs.
I liked the changes in styles you inserted in this one. Although different they blended extremely well, great job on that.

A super song.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Christian,

Yeah, it has a very good Django vibe . . . I’ve got a buddy who loves this type of music and would really appreciate this tune. Super listen!

My best to you,

Deej

Hi Vic,

You certainly made that bridge between Blues and the Flamengo in the title of your song.
Very original find. In the song itself I mainly heard Latin accents and just a bit of Blues.
But don't worry. I really liked this song! It was very entertaining.
I love the moment the violin came in. Beautiful!

Ah, what's in a name, Chris. You could call this Rose and it would sound as sweet. WOW, an interesting concept comes to fruition. When I read your comment, I couldn't imagine anything this good. Very well done. Love the changes.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks David and Elliott,
I didn't think of Django Reinhardt when arranging this song.
Perhaps, because he's my favorite musician...
