    The original is so incredibly stunning, and reaches deep down into your very soul with its perfectly harmonious vibe, production and lyrical excellence, quite a sound! So it's difficult to ever imagine enjoying another version....the Nu Yorican take was just fine, but it's a revelation and a privilege to hear this version! You can feel the heart and love of all contributing singers and players! One love! Solidarity!

  • @StefanReich
    @StefanReich 5 лет назад

    Here's your free analysis. The piano guy plays the main riff too much, it's not strong enough for that and a little too "peculiar". Mix it up a little bit. Speaking of, the mixing could probably be improved a bit too (I realize it's a live performance). Otherwise: Very groovy, beautiful stuff.

  • @zosothebelly
    @zosothebelly 4 года назад

    Sorry, but it doesn't convince me. I really miss the rock flavour underlying the original version.

  • @AG-cg7lk

    Lovely. Bit of a shame the iconic piano riff has been simplified and sacrificed on the alter of bossa though...

  • @yozy4996
    @yozy4996 3 года назад +1

    Nice rendition, The percussions at the beginning are excellent.. .(Respectfully ) The performance doesn't have any soul due to the absence of not be able to hear the Kick drum..The sax player was excellent ..I have a great deal of respect, and admiration for the production of this song that is a golden classic, but I just couldn't get into the Latin flavor of this song...
