Olores y Colores

Painting a vivid picture in music.
In this track I explore the link between the flamenco style or palo of Tangos and the more Argeninian Tango. Although being linked in name they are very different. A Tango flamenco is more closely linked to the rumba flamenca. Its rhythm is the same as farruca and very lively. The Argentine tango shares a common ancestor, but went its own way. However, it was fun developing the transition between styles. I do that by a dramatic interruption in a Solea por Buleria. It repeats three times with the outro slightly different from the intro and interlude. 
I play three guitar parts here, one in flamenco finger picking style, the others more like the guitar trio with an alternate picking style.

I hope you will enjoy this one and as always greatly appreciate your likes, shares and comments.

Music, lyrics and vocals by Irina

When the stars are out
And the night is new
I can see no stars
All I see is you
I can see no moon
Gliding through the skies
I'm forever lost
In your magic eyes

If you just say
I'd run away with you
I'd give my heart
I'd risk my life for you
But I'd stay away my love
If you only say my love

When the sun is up
And the day is due
I can see no sun
All I see is you
I can see no clouds
Gliding through the skies
I'm forever drowned
In your magic eyes

If you just say
I'd run away with you
I'd give my heart
I'd risk my life for you
But I'd stay away my love
If you only say my love

Magic Eyes

Verses :
------------Still me——(Smile!!) always data mining Crafting and designing Breaking all the rules with the styles I'm combining bending words round bars with impeccable timing Beats getting lit by the rhythm and the rhyming If it all out---I'm in----ain't no declining Polish off another beat and leave the track shining  Feel the vibe on the cloud another silver-lining  Time out mother fuckers it's my time I've been grinding Day to day hustle now the stars are aligning
like its meant to be cosmic energy Time's changing Destiny yeah! that's the real key Climbing to the next level totally free Cutting straight to the chase skip the pleasantries A force to be recon with you can't ignore me Staying true to myself-----Staying true to myself -------game's locked but still free-------game's locked but still free ------got game but still me------got game but still me
This is pure heat a pen---a page---a beat Engraving these lyrics so they penetrate deep  gimme the mic pull up a chair go ahead and have a seat Recognize technique that makes you wanna move your feet Verse after verse hitting like concrete  spitting these cadres so they reck another beat Flavor on the mic makes it sound so sweet that lines so dope let me just repeat  Flavor on the mic makes it sound so sweet  I'm bouncing off the rhymes eat it up it's a treat  I can't be beat Boss on the street Elevated status known as elite haters obsolete they can't compete  when I touch the mic they defecate and excrete
reborn hard corp vicious yeah!!! even rougher  Can't get enough of this style Don't suffer----------- smoother than butter---But a lethal as a motherfucker Traversing these barzzz not a cookie cutter Crush another track murder that's right slaughtered  It's IPG1 Aight!! way to clever step to my mic Don't think so never Switch it up now different style and technique  Double time double down Bet it up sweet Conceive a new melody before I even speak Verses seem to bend around the bar and drum beat  Flow on point neat and unique  Cadres that got you rocking out of your seat All respect due to the Class elite  ones gone before but Who'd expect not just open up but also held the door
Much respect!!!
Peace!!!✌🏽

Esperando el alba

Apesadumbrado

Apesadumbrado (bulerías)

In city shoes
Of clueless blues
Pays the views
And no-mans news
Blades will fade from blood to sport
The heroin's cut these fuses short
Smokers rode a colonial pig
Drink and frame this pain I think
I'm melting silver poles my dear
You bleed your wings and then disappear
The moving scenes and pilot lights
Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
And battle lines are drawn across this town
Parisian boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Talk 'em down cause it's up in flames
And nothing's changed
Parisian boys without your names
Riot like 1968 again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
Well pretty flames
In school I would just bite my tongue
And now your words they strike me down
The flags are false and they contradict
They point and click which wounds to lick
On avenues this Christian breeze
Turns its heart to more needles please
Our eyes roll back and we beg for more
It frays this skin and then underscore
The case for war you spin and bleed
The sales you feel screensavers feed
The girls you breed the soaps that you write
The graceless charm of your gutter snipes
The moving scenes and suburbanites
And smithereens got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
The battle lines are drawn across this town
English boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Hearts and minds and U.S. planes
Nothing's changed
And English boys without your names
Riot like the 1980's again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
More pretty flames

Rooted in the traditions of flamenco, guitarist Benjamin Barrile prefers to speak through his instrument, expressing emotion without words. A remarkable soloist, Benjamin also excels as both accompanist and composer. His compositions are dynamic and progressive without straying too far from Spanish gypsy tradition that stretches back hundreds of years. 
In 2000 Benjamin set off to Spain for the first time, a country that had long captivated his imagination, in search of flamenco and what would be the most significant journey of his life so far. He travelled to one of the major centres of flamenco in Spain today, Jerez de la Frontera, where he studied under many great maestros. Back home in Toronto, Benjamin attributes a significant portion of his flamenco guitar skills and compositional training to Miguel de la Bastide. In recent years, Benjamin has recorded for many artists, including Tamar Ilana & Ventanas, David Buchbinder, The Café Olé, and Gustaü & Puente del Diablo. In addition to leading his own project, Benjamin is also a resident guitarist at Toronto based Esmeralda Enrique Spanish Dance Company and Compañia Carmen Romero. Benjamin is also the recipient of two Dora Mavor Moore Awards for Outstanding Sound Design/Composition, one of which he shares with flamenco guitarist Caroline Planté. He also has a 2020 Canadian Folk Music Award nominee for Instrumental Solo Artist of the Year.
Benjamin's debut album 'Esperando el Alba' ('Waiting for Dawn') reflects upon his long and arduous battle with musician's focal dystonia, an all too often career-ending neurological condition for many musicians.
