Hi all,
Here's a french salsa !
Patrick Fournerat has written the lyrics and he sings.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/si-belle

Here's an approximate translation :

It seemed to me that I glimpsed
The evening light raying
When you went up the avenue
Our glances crossed
You were so beautiful
That I became
Simply lost
In your eyes
I was confused

I searched across the world
This inaccessible paradise
Without the least hesitation
I knew that everything was possible
You were so beautiful
When you appeared to me
That I did not believe it
You were real
It was so incredible

Some times just wait
And be there at the right time
Life keeps surprising us
From beginning to end
You were so beautiful
That when I saw you
I was convinced
You who was such
That I would have wanted

Well done!

The vocal and “band” sound like they’ve been
playing together for a long time.

Great arrangement and mix also.

Enjoyed it!

Hello Christian and Patrick,

a very nice and gentle tune. The backing track sounds so authentic, and the vocal phrasing is so concise. Live feeling - very enjoyable,

Regards,

Stefan

Another in a series of cool songs.
The backing/gang vocals are great.
That cymbal crash at 1.33 and elsewhere could be blended a little better - it ends abruptly and sits a little high in the mix. It sounds like it's a drop in rather than part of the drum track. In Reaper it could be stretched and faded.
Nevertheless - cool song.


Cheers

Lovely interpretation of the style- musical language complementing sensuous rhythm.
Good vocals -echo of "si belle" is a highlight.
Really well done.

Salsa is not something I get to hear all too often, but I'm really glad you decided to put this up on the showcase! It was definitely a really great interpretation. Thanks for sharing!
