Hive Music Festival | Week, 124 round 1 | "Caramba" by Otilio Galindez.

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Another cycle, another opportunity to make some other recordings. I want to start this post by addressing a mistake on my last recording, There are some missing bars in the first portion of the piece. Listening to it again, I found out I forgot an entire section. The worst part is that I didn't even remember how it went. Now, I do, but that ship has sailed. These are common mistakes that happen when you have to rely on memory for so many things.

On this first performance for the cycle, I will start by this piece by Otilio Galindez named Caramba. I can't exactly name the genre of the piece, but I think it is in 5/8 which will put it in the Merengue Venezolano box.

It is a composition that has a simple beauty. The most interesting part are generally the lyrics, but I don't sing, so will have to look for those in the interpretation of the song I dropped in the lower part of the post.

Songs like this are a nice way to get some rest from the general tough things I force myself to play for this recordings. It is also a nice time to keep on the theme of easy covers since I'm preparing for a festival. The hours of practice for a single theme need to be addressed and no effort can be wasted; or actually, there's no extra effort to put into more and more practice.

I hope you enjoy this cover. It was an interesting one without a doubt.
