| What about something by Louis Bonfa? Bonfá wrote some of the original music featured in the film, including the numbers "Samba de Orfeu" and his most famous composition, "Manhã de Carnaval" (of which Carl Sigman later wrote a different set of English lyrics titled "A Day in the Life of a Fool"), which has been among the top ten standards played worldwide, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. Gentle Rain is another great song. Great tunes!  |

| Check out Willie Bobo's recording of "Summertime". His guitarist is a great source for ideas for how we can approach Latin music and our role as guitarists. |

| I dig most of the tunes Randal listed... also Speak Low Morning, Clair Fischer Wave Jordu is great as an up Mambo Nica's Dream, H Silver West Coast Blues... I dig playing as mambo or cha cha at around 200 Minority.. also as mambo but up , 240. Remember to play F-maj9 You can take any tune with melody you like and play as some sort of latin groove. Shorter melodies in 3/4 are great as Latin grooves in 4/4. Most latin tunes are played in cut time( felt in 2) so the tempos are usually up. Best Reg |
