Hi all, For this song, Patrick Fournerat has written lyrics and he sings. https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/a-guaracha-na-cubaHere's an approximate translation : We were walking on the lagoon Dusk Walking in the sand of dunes Night owls Nights were populated by drums Flashes Talkative like songs of love Eloquence Around braziers Eating our feet in the water We shared caipirinhas Cuba Libre And puffs of maconha Unbalanced And we were doing the latina fiesta Dancing guaracha in Cuba In guaracha na Cuba ... We spoke in all languages clumsy A mixture of yin and yang Juvenile We bathed in the saving ocean Naked under the moon like traveling children Color of the day At dawn no more speeches Magic moment so fragile Privilege Time becoming motionless Parenthesis RD SalsaGuaracha32^1 RT 1958 Baby Bass RT 1963 Piano RT 2788 Trumpet RT 2785 Flute RT 3244 Bajo Sexto RT 584 Resophonic Guitar RT 511 Solo Electric Guitar RT 2767 Cuatro RD Mark Tree Loop Guiro Ujam Silk Guitar

The work you two bring together is smooth and cool. there's a bit more sibilance than usual but not a problem I'm sure.

Very pretty. What is it that sounds like a penny whistle at the start? Nice.

Hi Chris (and Patrick),
The sound of this song is nice and the voice is good. You have also chosen good instruments for this song. I only have a little 'but': if you want to sing about a love-affair in Cuba, the song sounds too subdued. In my opinion it needs more swing and excitement in the voice(s) and instruments. as I said, the voice is very nice, good timbre, but I won't fall in love (if I was the subject)with the singer. But don't pay much attention to my words if other listeners don't agree with me.
And isn't that flute a recorder? I liked how it fits in the melody. So: très bon!
Hans

Nice work on this one  Love the groove and how gentle and easy to take it is. It flows beautifully, and has a really nice summery vibe to it. Thanks for sharing!
