I think what I was trying to say when I said I wish I could play the tune on an arranger, was..."on an arranger" but sound like THEY do. The vocal harmony, the little nuances in the guitar playing, the strumming, etc.
I love Latin music: merengue, salsa, cumbia, bachata, etc (and Spanish music from Spain, Argentine tango, etc.) I think that is Latin America's greatest export to the United States. Their music! You can't help but feel happy when you hear it. And most of it is done with just a few chords and a lot of imagination.
In these times of Corona blues, this kind of music really cheers me up and makes me feel alive.
How many of you knew of the song La Foule before I mentioned it?
