Hello HIVE
Today I am sharing another song I arranged and produced for Camila Pérez. This was the last song I produced for her before she moved to another direction in style ( we still work together but I am not her producer anymore )
This particular song it's a bit of a fusion of two styles : Rumba Flamenca and Candombe.
Flamenco as we all know is from Spain and as she studied music and lived in Barcelona we wanted to get some of that sound imbued into the music. I am not an expert by any means in that style but we decided to hint it with the Nylon Guitar , this was played by Cristian Robinson who precisely is very well versed in Flamenco guitar.
Candombe is a style from Uruguay , most precisely said it's an Afro-Uruguayan style of music and is played in the 3-2 clave like Salsa and Rumba. Having lived in both Argentina and Uruguay it's a style I have been more exposed to so I knew I could get some elements in.
As Camila is mainly a Singer-Songwriter we put everything down the umbrella of a ''pop song'' and this is what came out.
The drums play in a bit more of a linear fashion but it ties everything down together . Again , the vocal arrangements are a bit of a personal trademark in most of my productions :)
I did not handle the mix on this one , this was mixed by Sergio Vivar who also mixed most of my first album
Mastering was done in Argentina by Daniel Ovie
Hope you like it!
