REFERENCE: the Mambo Genos video
Paul...I only stopped in the room for a second, but this video caught my attention. Through every few seconds of this I added a thought to my thought inventory. Example: the man is very musical, but not terribly creative, and probably not a professional, definitely could be a carnival barker capable of selling snow to the Eskimos. I like his joyous presentation and his feel for Spanish music. I'm not overwhelmed with admiration for his knowledge of music as he's only playing two chord riffs. I like that Genos Latin rhythm he's using. I like the sound of the Genos. I'm wondering what is the situation he's playing in? Wondering what he's saying in Spanish that filled up the whole 6:55 minutes and kept me hooked on watching it. Another example of.....you don't need to be a great musician to mesmerize an audience. And....I'm wondering if this is a Spanish cookware party in his home (invite friends and people you know) where you sell goods but start off the event with a little music (and a lot of talking).
Your thoughts because I believe this is part of your culture (or anyone's thoughts).
P.S. Paul, I don't know if I ever told you that I'm heavy into Latin American music. Been listening to it and enjoying it ever since I was a kid. Watch a lot of Spanish music videos and have a huge mp3 collection of all Spanish music. That and $6.99 will get you a Dominos large pie including the Senior Citizen discount on Tuesday nights.
