This 3rd album has become a very special one , it was realy a pleasure to make music with a Romantic Latin inspiration .
The Fuego became stronger with each track , the Amor filled my studio , the Passion made me go on and on .
Day after day , week after week , months passing by , but after hard working finaly it was complete and i will do it again , so much pleasure i had wile working on this “diamante” album ( Siempre en Mi Vida ) .
I used lot’s of latin Instruments like : Peruvian- Bolivian-Pan-flute , latin trumpets , special accoustic and electric guitars , but also a mandolin , lot’s of latin percussions ( traditional ) , typical bass loops , kalimba and latin organ and accordeolas .
To me i hope you all enjoy my fusion chilling latin style ( FuChiLa®2006 ) .
Thanks to Yamaha electric and accoustic guitars , Evolution Key’s , Yamaha piano’s , Roland equipment , Santos inc. percussions , Fender and Bose eq.
Sample Works LTD for the orchestral/ambient sampling .
1.DIAMANTE ( DIAMONDS )
A song like a Spanish diamond , with a beautiful flute melody and uplifting percussions . Defenitly a song with polished edges , smooth and shining more and more amore .
2.MI MADRE ES UN ANGEL ( MY MOTHER IS AN ANGEL )
This symbol of never forgotten love came to my mind a few years after my mother died ( Vaya con Dios Madre mia ) . With a fragment (kalimba) of Carlos Santana’- “ She’s not there “ .
3.SIEMPRE EN MI VIDA ( ALWAYS IN MY LIFE )
Always in my life : Everlasting love for the many beautiful things that past my life and i hope many more to come . Track with a latin Vibe and .......a mandolin !
4.O'YE LOU
Still a great cool song from Lou Reed , Walk on the wild side , maybe it’s because i did so in my younger days , anyway i like the bass riff , it give’s me that same cool and relaxed feeling , also that mellow dreamy guitar .
5.BRISA LATIN ( LATIN BREEZE )
A cool Latin Breeze is always welcome after a hard day of work , relax , chill out with some fresh juice and my beloved one , take a walk at the bahia , who knows ?
6.EL FUEGO ( THE FIRE )
Fuego drums , beatin percussions , a heavy crying guitar and a floating organ , sounds familiar to me , that’s typical Santana’s Mood and offcourse Ennio Morricone and Me !
7.ESPERANZA ( HOPE/FAITH )
Latin Fusion is always my favorite music , Casiopea , Koinonia ,Al Di Meola . This song is what i call “ Lounge / café / restaurant background music “ , it still give’s me that romantic dinner for two feeling !
8.CORAZON SOLITARIO ( LONELY HEART )
Once my heart was lonely , then with the look in your eyes my heart skips a beat , i get the chills , i can talk no more , whats happening with my lonely heart , it’s not solitario anymore because of you .
9.LA MIRADA EN SU OJOS ( THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES )
The latin adventure began al with this song , a kind of lambada / cha-cha , To me it was a kind of exploration in a Latin-Fusion direction . Made with Passion !
10.PERDIDO EN EL AMOR ( LOST IN LOVE )
A Latin ballad for a sickness that is “ lost in Love “ , it can’t be cured , it’s always there , once you have it you never get over it . Based on the episodes of the beautiful TV series/movie "LOST" .
11.UM NOVO DIA ( A NEW DAY )
There’s always a new day .A Spanish ballad , another ? , yeah another , i like it , i love it , i die with it , you can feel the romàntico , the passion , the fuego and the amor and i have it all in one heart , specially created for you who are very dear to me , muchos gracias my friends .
12.PÉROLA PRETA/PÉRLA NEGRA ( BLACK PEARL )
So mystic and romantic as the Bolivian / Peruvian flute so much passion i had in making this track , and as always ; save the best for lest . This one is for my special Perla preta , and it’s also a wedding song .
