If anyone decided to throw a “boring competition” this player would win hands down. When I saw the video was 6 minutes I expected to hear some great improvising like I heard in the “Quizas, quizas, quizas video. All I heard was the same chordal riffs over and over again and too much with the “”stapping“ at the keyboard. There were no “fill’s” in the song even. After 3 minutes that style got on my nerves. The whole thing is a MIDI file if I’m correct.

His interpretation of the tune is way too busy. Most people know this song and they have a pretty good idea of the words. One of the best things I learned from another musician, many years ago, was “learn the words of a song first before you learn the song..” Reason being folks are remembering the words and reciting them in their minds. The words need to match the melody line of the song they’re listening to. The listener goes into temporary confusion if that is not happening. The professional way of doing songs like this is to play the melody straight the first time around so people get the feel of it and then go off into the world of improvisation. Not sure if I said that right but you get my drift.

The positive side of the video is……..that’s the kind of cha-cha style I’m looking for. Just not six minutes and 27 seconds of it without a break!
