A real change of tone here....introducing classical guitars into the orchestra! Trying here to evoke the feel and spirit of the home of Flamenco, envisaging a cellar bar of rustic Spain, with the lady's skirts twirling and the hands and feet…

I recorded 4 separate vox tracks and I couldn't see dumping any of them. Better than reverb!
