This song is not in a battle


I've always loved the rhythm of this track ever since I was in nappies....lol
I got extreemly drunk on it in Portugual in the late 80's, which sold their for £2.00 per bottle!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

"If you wanna have a tekila you need lemon and salt" (that's the translation of the main line).
Really nice production. Your guitars sound amazing!
I just felt the intro of the percussion sound a bit fake. Maybe fixing the velocities of the hits so you give it a more realistic sound. A crescendo would be perfect so decreasing the velocity in the first hits would solve that issue.
Really loved the percussion section in the middle. The thing is I just felt the cowbell beat doesn't fit. There's something in latin music (mainly) called "key" (probably that's the best translation for the term in spanish, "clave") that's basically one sound (like a cowbell) doing a specific pattern according to the style. In this case I don't know what pattern you should use; if you listen to some of the same style probably you will find a proper one. But just following the tempo doesn't sound proper.
The melody has been always sticky and this rendition makes it even more sticky. Great job.
I think following my advice the song will sound just perfect. It's my humble opinion.

No Seriously tho
Funny you should pick up on the clave , was listening to some Mongo Santamaria in a post xmas haze nap and heard them , rhythm floated with ease really trippy.
As for this rendition Denis I love it.
Guitars and horn hot mate .
My wish that we could play this together at some little pub in South London .
Isz you gotta come mate

BTW
We have to throw in an extra 45 min dance set for NYE club gig to night on the back of our regular 50m X2 Elton Jack Show.
Gotta do this , thanks for the reminder of what an absolute party number this is.
Happy 2010.

Make mine a slammer
muchos gracias
