Hello there, my fellow musicians and music lovers!
Coming back from my failed attempt of classifying to the finals of La Siembra del Cuatro. It is a bump in the road, but that just means I need to keep working on my playing. One of the judges was nice enough to share his evaluation with me. So, I have the key points to work on during this year until the next contest.
In another order of ideas, this is my last cover for this cycle. It is Merengue called "El Tramao". It was composed by Luis Laguna. This composer is known for some really interesting compositions and elevating this subgenre of music to another level of beauty.
This piece is a really nice one to practice how the movement of the right go. Since the melody isn't too hard and the chords repeat on some bars, there's enough time to try to learn how to make flourishes and other rhythmic ornaments. There are a few of these in my cover.
Learning this piece came also as part of a list of new songs to keep getting better at the instrument. However, this might change in favor of practicing some other things for my right hand so the covers get even better in the future and I can unlock the potential of the instrument. we shall see. If you don't see me participating in the forthcoming cycles, you can rest assured, I'm studying.
There's not more else to add. Even when it took a while to record for several reasons, I hope you like my cover!
