This track was so fun to make. In addition to doing research on folk music (see “Things a Peña Does below”), and making tracks with folk musicians, during my Argentina study abroad I also played in a super fun band: Harold and the Gauchos. I had the pleasure of playing with a super awesome vocalist in Claudia Rojas.
The track I’m showcasing today is called “Solitude!,” and I sample Allen Toussaint’s track of the same name.
While I chopped the sample and made the beat Claudia came up with some fitting lyrics and an awesome melody.
Solitude’s just you and me/With you my friend/ I feel so free
In my solitude I’d rather be/With you my dear/ I feel so free
Solitude’s just you and me/ With you my friend/ I feel so free
In my solitude I’d rather be/ With you my dear I can be me
Solitude I think of you baby when I’m in my room singing Ella tunes
Solitude I love you babe I want you forever more knocking at my door
Solitude’s just you and me/With you my friend/ I feel so free
Solitude I think of you baby when I’m in my room singing Ella tunes
Solitude I love you babe I want you forever more knocking at my door
