„Guajira“ is a cuban rhythm quite similar to the rumba. Its origin is from the canarian islands (Spain), and so „white music“. Mixing with the black influences from african slaves in Cuba the rythm developed to the so called „son“. Guillermo Portabales is a typical composer of guajira songs (just check them out on youtube, f.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dat8FA6z45Y&feature=related )

Hey Gigu!
Just a thought..
Since you’re really working with world-music, I was wondering if you do flamenco-stuff too. If not, but you’re interested, there are these cd’s on the market, called “solo-compas”, that can give you a good look inside the rhythms and time-signatures. I worked with them a lot in my guitar-days.

Bye kors

This is so great, thank you so much for bringing a world music flair to this site! It seems that for me to really get in to this groove I had to find a couple subtle accent notes to stress, nothing huge or dramatic, just a slight emphasis…
I feel honored that you, Thomas and other hugely talented players take the time to share your gifts with the world!
Hola from Nuevo Mexico!
Saludos y mil gracias!

MarloweDK: Spike| Well, thank you for the thumb(s) up:-)

MarloweDK: Hmm, the link has gone missing, let me locate it and get back to you

Murdy: Hey Marlowe, I bought the L253 in order toget the backing track. However, there is no backing track without the bass. Is there a way to get this?

hank: Thanks Marlowe! I guess I better start saving up. I can't wait to get one. I'm positive if I get one then my playing automatically gets funkier right? :)

MarloweDK: Hank: my sig bass will be presented at the Frankfurt musik messe in march. I dont know of the price but i guess it will be priced in the same range as Sandbergs California models. There is a couple of american retailers, check Sandbergs site.

soporific: Hi guys!

Harry Popper: hi, GospelBassMan

GospelBassMan: Hello community!!

hank: Will your bass be mass produced? Do you think it will be affordable (relatively speaking) Will it be offered online for us Americans that wanna buy it?

chooty: Thank you very much.
