Hi all,
A baby is born. His mother's name is "Samba" and his father's name is "Gypsy Jazz". For this event, they organized a big party. Even cousin “Tres” came specially from Cuba...
Christian Braut (Monsieur Gontrand) is the singer.

Hi Chris ...

What a nice, relaxing song! Christian's breathy, whisper-like vocal treatment is so easy on the ears.

I've always loved all genres of Latin music. This is a fine example of it at its best. Very, very nice.

Alan

Chris, this is your best to date IMHO.
The instrumentation and vocals fit the groove perfectly.
Excellent mix.

If Google Translate is reliable, then I'd say I really enjoyed the lyrics as well.

Listen to this mixed music
Which the beautiful Samba gives birth to
The father shouts: ʺ By Toutatis! ʺ
It’s the voice of Gypsy Jazz.
Gypsy Samba is the name
Of this baby full of joy
Strings and percussion
Are in turmoil
There is even cousin Tres
Who came from Cuba
Share your joy
Gypsy Samba

The family is complete
When the song is in full swing
You have to let yourself go
To the rhythm of the musicians
Tomorrow is another day
Let's savor the present moment
This piece is worth the detour
It's exhilarating
Music is without borders
There is no debate
She crosses all barriers
Gypsy Samba

Really nicely done tune! Just the way Christian pronounces "frontières" is totally worth the listen, but the whole song works great. Great job getting the soloists to sit in the mix and sounding like they were playing your song. That's sometimes tricky. Inspired theme and lyrics, too. Hard to get English to sound as cool as this. Ha!
