Jon--Tico? 
Jon,
I'm doing some arrangements for my gigs right now. I'm doing Tico Tico, Quizas, and Sway. I was wondering, have you arranged any of these?

Mike, I've been doing Sway for a while, its one of the most popular gigs in my set, esepcially at bigger venues where people can dance. I'm just about to start gigging Tico Tico.

Unfortunately for you, neither are solos, and I do both with backing - latin percussion, bass and rhythm guitars.

Watch out for my version of Tico coming to a foro near you soon

Jon

Hi Grant

I rarely use samples as it ties you to a certain tempo and a loop will sound like a loop.

I use a mixture of midi (output to soundfonts or a Yamaha XG card which is great and cost me £10 ) and actual instruments played by me.

For Tico my percussion is:

bongos: me
shaker: me
cowbell: entered in midi in real time, sent to Yamaha XG card
vibro slap - "
something that goes ting ting: "
something else that makes a funny rasping noise - "
kick drum and toms - "

..as you can see, I couldn't even tell you the name of some of these funny latin percussion things, but they sound cool.

I'm debuting Tico Tico tonight (gulp) its quite tricky in places.

Who recorded Sway? I've never heard it. I recored a short version of tico with a violin guy doing most of the heavy lifting. I'll see if I can figure out how to post it.

Hi Jon

Thanks for that, I can't wait to hear it... I bet it will sound amazing knowing you.

Are you gong to upload it to the forum?

Good luck tonight.

Thanks

Grant

Miguel.

Mad fan of the Doris Day version of Quizas, great rumba rythmn (ballroom rumba that is), and Edmundo Ross I think did one of the first instrumental Tico's. I also love Dean Martin's version of "Sway", but you might try to hear one of the old latin American versions such as the Pepe Jaramilo orchestra for doing it as a solo. A modern version of Sway was high in the pop charts only a couple of years ago but can't remember the group (one-hit wonders probably). Hey, I can even plonk a C, Gm and Am of sway myself
