The challenge was to channel our inner [insert jazz legend here]. I chose to go Afro-latin-ish. There's no melody to this one yet but since time is short I'm just trying to finish some beats I've made.

Full Disclosure: The drums are from a purchased Sample Pack. (Sonics Empire: Tribal Roots bundle; Seasoned Afrobeats)

Synths: Vital
Sublab
Electric Grand 80

Guitars: Doug Brown Custom Telecaster

Amp: '67 Fender Dual Showman

Constructive criticism is always welcome. Tell me all about it!

This delivers fabulously on the chill Latin groove and the hints of West African tribal rhythms, kind of like the way they do it in Rio. The jazzy guitar sits perfectly in the middle of the sound without stealing the spotlight. A lot to like!

I really love the rhythmic stage that your other instrumental layers dance in top of. Great guitar sound and interplay with the synth lines. It has a really wonderful upbeat chill feel with great phrasing that allows layers to shine.
