    Im sad there wasn’t more Bata in the video. I have been playing for many years and i have never heard it with jazz. I love this combination. The vocals were mind blowing as well. Very good, amazing, magnificent.

    Afro jazz estilo cubano armonia metales y percusion estilo irakere de donde nacio este estilo de ejecusion el genero sigue siendo jazz americano con vertientes inconporadas de la musica cubana y su folklor fusion de rumba guaguanco y por supuesto la ultima tendencia polirritmica imcorporada de nuestro ultimo genero compuesto la timba ..

    @bailahie4235 4 года назад

    Great track. The more often I listen to it, the better it becomes. I already melt at the intro Rhodes chord-opening, how full spirit/soul the playing of Axel Tosca... They all do a great job, for example, the sax solo by Max Cudworth (?) -- so dreamy and jazzy.
    The only thing that I think of now that would have been better is if the quite vigourous singing by Pedrito would start later in the song, to keep the mellow soft energy longer during the intro.
