I have had a lot of fun writing and frying up these picante “pan pieces” - mixture of different Latin rhythms salsa, charanga, afro, pop, milonga - plus Brazilian rhythms, too. Some a bit experimental, others festive! I hope you enjoy!

​In the countdown to Diáspora Supersalsanova launching 27th March, we're releasing some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-11-lullaby

In dying light, I see you smiling down at me, from above.
And all the while, I feel your beauty shine on me.
And I know,
All is well.
All the turmoil that I had inside has gone away.
And peaceful nights,
When I’m lying in your arms, once more, are here to stay.
Stay with me now, lying in your arms.
There’s no-where I’d rather be.
Stay here with me.
We can sing a lullaby.
- Lyrics by Alyss McBirney Music

If you move to the music,
Then you’ll live to a hundred,
And there’s no explanation to be found.
And there’s no satisfaction,
Like the perfect number,
To discover everything around.

All it takes is just one day,
To fall in love and find yourself at the start of the end.

And the cotton is high.
Oh, your daddy’s rich,
And your ma is good looking.
So hush, little baby, don’t you cry.

​In the countdown to Diáspora Supersalsanova launching 27th March, we're releasing some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-07-sign-of-love

This love,
Written in the stars,
From Venus to Mars.
Reflected in the lake.
In the palm of my hand,
And in the circles in the sand.
Across the land,
What would I do?
Who would I be without you?
How would I ever learn the meaning of this life,
Without you by my side?

Diáspora Supersalsanova

Snippet 06 Conundrum

18/3/2019

 
​In the countdown to Diáspora Supersalsanova launching 27th March, we're releasing some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-06-conundrum

I know that we have a problem yet you don’t seem to care,
Cryptic conundrum that is getting us nowhere.
And when the temperature rises and the fire starts flare,
Going ‘round in circles, now really.
Why can’t we just be friends?
We can make amends.
Friends, just like the river bends,
Friends, ‘til the story ends,
And goes round and round again,
Back where it all began,
Conundrum!

Snippet 05 Moonlight

17/3/2019

 
​¡A la luz de la luna mi hijo!

Diáspora Supersalsanova touches you on 27th March and we're releasing some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-05-moonlight

When we’re lost in song and dance and strange romance,
This could be our last ever chance,
To lose ourselves in the mysteries of the night,
Before we surrender to the morning light.
Ever since that moment of that wild exotic dance,
I remember the lessons that I learned,
That there is no escaping what you feel inside,
When the moonlight touches you tonight.

Snippet 04 Notes In Twist-Dizzy-A

16/3/2019

 
​Lips fail to create the wail of Diáspora's Supersalsanova launching 27th March. Over here we're re-harmonising some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-04-notes-in-twist-dizzy-a

The tune is the same tune we all knew,
It flows in its angular flight,
But the harmony is a bit twisted,
Never did it sound so right.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-03-mistico

Once upon a time in a faraway land,
There lived a strange enchanted man.
Carving his symbols in the sand, drinking water from his cupped hands,
And contemplating stars up in the sky.

When you are so far outside my view.

​​In the countdown to Diáspora Supersalsanova launching 27th March, we're releasing some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-01-time-is-running-out

Time is running out.
There’s no room for doubt.
Live like there is no tomorrow.
Forget about the sorrow.
And just dance with me.
The way it’s meant to be.
Let the music be your guiding force.
Let the rhythm drive away your lonely thoughts.
And I’ll be with you, until the very end.
‘Cause it’s true, our time is running out.
