Yesterday afo was another go at making convincing Latin noises. This time we had bass, keys, bongo and timbales, and it was sounding good! Need at least one, maybe two, more percussionists, and a couple of brass players / violin / flute and we’ll have a band! It was really starting to flow yesterday, though we have yet to converge on a particular style.
At present exactly half the band are dancers rather than musicians, and the other half are completely not dancers. It will be interesting to see if we can come up with stuff that is interesting enough for the musicians while still being danceable… Or whether the more I learn about the music, the more I’ll think that actually the dancers need to learn to dance to a wider variety of rhythms!
