Hi all, I've composed this music like a tribute to Buena Vista Social Club. Patrick Fournerat has written french lyrics and he sings. He is telling his memories of one travel on Amazon river. https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/transamazoniaRD BossaRockPerc^1 RT 916 Acoustic Bass RT 1903 Acoustic Guitar RT 3200 Solo Electric Guitar RT 1176 Electric Guitar RT 1175 Acoustic Guitar RT 3244 Bajo RT 584 Resonator Guitar RT 3200 Solo Acoustic Guitar RT 2767 Cuatro RT AfucheShaker Loop Cowbell Here's an approximate translation : Faded by the rain, the river has changed color. Everything becomes black and gray. I can not hear the howler monkeys anymore. Odor of humidity and immobile forests; alone in the dark, the yellow eyes of crocodiles. Transamazonia, Manaus, Santarem. Transamazonia, Belem terminus. sailing on the Amazon ... Carried by the current, the pirogue undulates gently on the way to the east in the spotlight. Morning butterflies with subtle colors and childish games of pink dolphins so slender. The morning mist left the place for the sun. In the vegetable hell, the din of the wake up. The tired faces by a sticky night will be rewarded. Nature is generous.

Christian,
you & Patrick should take a laptop, keyboard & microphone to a few cafes and sing these excellent songs to an audience.
Excellent.

Nice! Smooth - the melody slides beautifully over the backing. Could listen to this kind of music all day. Great job, guys!

This is fantastic lounge music in any language! Great groove, super backing tracks, vocals and harmonies and groove, this has it all. Fantastic lead guitar also.
You should be very proud of this.

What a pleasant listen, especially the harmonies at the end. Maybe writing in French is the answer to my lyrical dry spell! Je ne vois rien à dire.
Je ne peux penser à rien pour chanter.
Quelle meilleure langue pour chanter
d'une crise existentielle que française?
Tout sonne tellement mieux,
même si tout n'est rien du tout.Yeah, that's the ticket!  But back to your song - well done!

Chris & Patrick,
Excellent sounding tune! Nicely composed, vocals are A+. I like the "aged/mono" FX you used in places. Enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.
