Warm and welcoming arrangement of modern minimalist pizzicatos leading to an aspirational legato line. Deeply human and optimistic. Building towards a grandiose arrangement of tremolos and legatos, light and accessible.
SJAE; Anticipatory and mysteriously sacred, a female vocal floats about a sea of dark shimmery pads and a methodical drum beat. Both profound loss and determination to triumph over it are evoked. The lyrics urge us to "Rise above the ashes...your wings of fire/will lift you up again." (There is also a wordless version).
Small group of cute young kids (4-6 years old) sing the traditional Happy Birthday song A cappella in a small live setting (6-8 Voices). Larger group version available.
ENZO VILLAPAREDES; Playful and respectfully flirtatious, an admirer woos la Chiquitita while a colorful trumpet soloist steps out in between the vocals. An authentic midtempo Cuban Son, with conga, shakers, and piano laying down the groove.
