ATTENTION-Updated track. Guitar added (courtesy of Marc Halikas) and new lyrics in third verse.
Lovely song, great lyrics. Interesting, dipping, lilting tempo. Oh cool! Oi do loiks mi percushon. I enjoyed the piano too.
Wow, great music! Shimmering with city sunshine!
Not at all, Norm. In fact, thanks so much for being technical. Baiao is a preset pattern in EZD from a collection called "Cocktail". I just stumbled upon it in the planning stages of this tune and it seemed perfect. I YouTubed some Baiao vids. The rhythms are infectious. Thanks again! John Bowen
Lovely! Naturally, the percussion hooked me right away. I love it. "Baiao", from a clave perspective, is "calypso", in that it repeats the 1st bar of "son clave", I.e. 1 2+ 4, over and over. I don't want to be too technical about this, but wanted to give you some feedback that from a percussionist perspective, this is a solid piece of work, with a rhythm that gives a nice flavor - from Trinidad or Brazil. Well done!
