I'm fascinated by Lagrimas Negras, a wonderful Cuban song.
Trying to sing it too

Woooooaaaa this is wonderful!

The song + the video. It all sounds like it happened so spur of the moment. Had to look up a translation for the lyrics! And they did not disappoint — such a beautiful tune!

So simple yet profound

🇨🇺 Un jardinero de amor, planta una flor y se va.
🇨🇺 Otro viene y la cultiva, ¿de cuál de los dos será?
🇬🇧 A gardener of love, plants a flower and leaves
🇬🇧 Another comes and cultivates it, which of the two will it be?

pure poetry

Agreed! Such a beautiful couple of lines and the simplicity really amplifies it.

I really love how it sounds in both languages too. So perfect that the translation turned out so pretty.

I've not been listening to much music, but I'm creating my own song covers on piano, by writing sheet music.

Very nice!! 😀

I'm a little late getting to this, but just listened to both of your tunes — that's some great playing. Also, really cool program you use to visualize your playing too.

Speaking of tonal visualizers, I really love this video Vulfpeck put out visualizing James Jamerson's bass playing on Ain't No Mountain High Enough... dude is incredible!

I've been jamming to J Dilla this AM. 😎

For all y'all that dig lofi hip hop beats, give Dilla a spin and you won't be disappointed. Dude was doing lofi before it was a thing!

Great song! And though it's a kinda small addition, Janelle Monáe is rocking it as always — she is totally one of my faves.

Very chill... it's soooo dreamy. I'm loving the pulsating bassy bits coming in and out. Gonna have to dig into some of their other tunes!

My last discovering is blume, a channel in Youtube that have a lot of sets with ambient music.

Fully recomended for coding:

OOooooo this is right up my alley! Thanks for sharing!

I love ambient tunes, especially for working.

I've been really into OoraMusic here who does similar sorta stuff: youtube.com/c/OoraMusic

Awww man, this is badass! Great suggestion. The music video is wild too — feels like they invented a whole little sci-fi world here.
