I think the vocal stands well just like it is! You recorded an excellent sounding song here!
Love the south of the border sound here, really authentic sounding to me.
I don't know how you keep coming up with so many great songs in rapid succession, but it's a great thing!
Keep on rockin' TB

Marty - great song with your usual excellent vocal,
for me the accordion could come up just a smidge
but then I'm a squeezebox lover!
Wow the guitar solo is really tasty, and very cool
sounding - who played that I wonder, classy!!
Intoxicating Chica Roja indeed, well done Marty!

Hi Marty!
That Am - F - E chord move sounds good. I’ve always liked the sweeping strum pattern used - or maybe it was the scraper? In any case, a cool sound. Vocal sounds good.

Muchas gracias, si numero uno to meeeee!
Sorry, my Mexican is non-existent! You certainly have captured that Mexican or is it Spanish feel in this number. And I think your vocals added to that feel, effects or modifications weren’t need.
Well done Marty, kind regards

BabuMusic, nice little shift in the chord work, I think most flamingo changes would have been Am-Dm-E7, but the F fits well. Nice job.

Slinky and cool, Marty. LOVE your vocals: Almost over the top, but not a parody, and they work perfectly. That's a nice band, and the bass player is quite excellent, too. Super tune!

TexMex with a cool swing and French accordion. A beautiful blend of different cultures. The best thing about it are your vocals, which are like a French wine that gets better with every year. Enjoyed my listen(s). A lot ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Yes, it's amazing how prolific you are, but also it's incredible all the genres you encompass. And your singing just fit the song so well. No need for special effects, the special effect was you! Great job.

Thanks, Carl. I kept turning up the sqeezbox, then turning it down, then over and over. Now I'll go back in to squeeze some more out of it.

Hey, Marty. I thought I'd give this a listen before I wash dishes. Now I'm going to dance with that music in my head while doing the dishes and hopefully none will fall on the floor! That's really different...a Tex Mex groove! I hadn't heard that done before. Your vocals are superb on it. The minor keys really give it the mood. I enjoyed it! Very well done!

Hi Marty,
Did the idea for this song come when I told you about my son's relationship with a Mexican girl dressed in red? It ended painfully a few years ago, but a few weeks ago she came to visit us with her family.
And then you came with her, doing this amazing dance!
I already sent you a message on YouTube, but the song is so catchy I had to listen to it over and over again.
Your choice of instrumentation is fantastic. The washboard (is that what you call it?) sounds authentic and enhances the atmosphere of the song.
I really enjoyed it. Now I use the words "Chica Roja" all the time. My wife wants me to stop...
Hans

Tex-Mex, I enjoy it both orally and aurally Lovely band, enjoyed the versatile percussions and the accordion is always a nice surprise. And that solo guitarist fits like beans in tortilla, yum! And of course the bass guy sounds like he has been playing this type of music all of his life. Great effects and your singing/talking is lively and soulful. The story with melancholy mood, together with the captivating video, intoxicates any innocent mind, beautiful! You surely can mold curvaceous snapshots with your words and BIAB Janne

Like the band, especially the accordion.
Your vocals sound good - not weird at all.
Your video shows that Chica was having as much fun as those she was dancing for.
(Janice said she envisioned Charley dancing as she listened.😊)
Nice mix and bass glue.
FUN!

Vic Thanks, Vic. TexMex with a cool swing and French accordion. A beautiful blend of different cultures. The best thing about it are your vocals, which are like a French wine that gets better with every year. Enjoyed my listen(s). A lot Thanks, Brain. Wondering how you picked up the accent from the sqeezebox. BUt that French wine nod made me smile. Yes, it's amazing how prolific you are, but also it's incredible all the genres you encompass. And your singing just fit the song so well. No need for special effects, the special effect was you! Great job. Thanks much, Bob. I like all music (except maybe Polkas, but if that's all there is, I still enjoy them). Credit for the different genres goes to BiaB. I like jamming when someone says something like, "You Can't Do That in Reggae." Thankfully I haven't found a single Polka in the 5000 styles from BiaB. Wow, Marty! I like this! Great feel and great vox. Nicely done. Who played the guitar solos? Thanks so much, Paul. I looked it up, but can't find which RT I used for the solo. Marty, your vocal sounds great
That bass track is super
Great video and mix
Another winner Thanks, Mario. I think I only wrote this one so I could play bass... and maybe to roll my Rs. Sounds great as usual, Marty, love the vid too! THanks, Dave. Like Floyd I get dizzy watching her circle. Couldn't even get the Ai to have her turn counterclockwise. Sheesh. I should've kept it with stills,

Hans Thanks, Hans. I forget how the song developed; I'm usually more of an interested bystander as the song develops. I bet you mean the accordion or sqeezebox or a bunch of other names, but a washboard is actually a washboard played as percussion. Not in this one. Tex-Mex, I enjoy it both orally and aurally Lovely band, enjoyed the versatile percussions and the accordion is always a nice surprise. And that solo guitarist fits like beans in tortilla, yum! And of course the bass guy sounds like he has been playing this type of music all of his life. Great effects and your singing/talking is lively and soulful. The story with melancholy mood, together with the captivating video, intoxicates any innocent mind, beautiful! You surely can mold curvaceous snapshots with your words and BIAB Janne Haha. Thanks, Janne. I always look forward to your comments. Haha -beans in a tortilla, and all that. I originally wanted a wierd, barker-type guys singing it, as if he's advertising the new town sensation, but... Like the band, especially the accordion.
Your vocals sound good - not weird at all.
Your video shows that Chica was having as much fun as those she was dancing for.
(Janice said she envisioned Charley dancing as she listened.😊)
Nice mix and bass glue.
FUN!
J&B Thanks, JaniceAndBud. Ha! I'll send ya a vid of Charley dancing; you'll get a kick out of her partner. Love this Marty. Loved your vocal and lyric. Your bassline were first class. Gives the song a texture and feel that you feel in your chest. Awesome tune Thanks, Scott. Siometimes I write songs just so I can add bass.

We have an amazing new “AI-Notes” feature. This transcribes polyphonic audio into MIDI so you can view it in notation or play it back as MIDI. You can process an entire track (all pitched instruments and drums) or focus on individual parts like drums, bass, guitars/piano, or vocals. There's an amazing collection of new content too, including 202 RealTracks, new RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, “Songs with Vocals” Artist Performance Sets, Playable RealTracks Set 5, two RealDrums Stems sets, XPro Styles PAK 10, Xtra Styles PAK 21, and much more!
There are over 100 new features in Band-in-a-Box® 2026 for Windows®.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
