I recently wrote a song titled "Se un Ganador - Blues Version," and it’s a piece I’m particularly proud of. The track brings a raw, soulful energy, blending heartfelt Blues with the uplifting message of perseverance and resilience found in the lyrics. It’s the kind of song that feels like it’s speaking directly to you, carrying a deep groove and an honest story.

The instrumentation is rich and layered. It opens with a smooth interplay between electric and acoustic guitars, setting a contemplative yet empowering mood. The harmonica adds a raw, emotional texture, wailing in the spaces between the vocals, almost like it’s responding to the lyrics. Meanwhile, the brass section – the winds – lifts the track to new heights, creating moments of triumph and grandeur, like little victories woven into the music.

What makes this version so unique is its ability to channel the introspection of Blues while keeping the message hopeful. The verses carry a reflective tone, where you can almost hear the struggles of the journey, but then the chorus bursts in like an anthem: "Sos un ganador, no cambies..." It’s uplifting, with call-and-response vocals and those exclamatory choruses – “Ah, ah!,” “No, no!” – giving it an almost gospel-like energy.

The solo section is where the magic really happens. The electric guitar takes the lead, dripping with emotion, while the harmonica and winds weave in and out, creating a conversation that feels alive and spontaneous. It’s a moment that makes you want to close your eyes and just let the music wash over you.

As the song progresses, it doesn’t just tell you to "be a winner"; it invites you to feel it, to own your triumphs, no matter how fleeting they might be. The outro wraps things up with a touch of melancholy and wisdom, reminding you that even glory is temporary, but the journey is what truly matters.

This Blues version of "Se un Ganador" isn’t just a song; it’s an experience. It’s about embracing who you are, celebrating your victories, and finding hope even when the road gets rough. Whether you’re a Blues fan or just someone looking for inspiration, this track will resonate with you.

A Twist Of Fate

🔥 Groove meets soul — where the harmonica sings and the bassline walks.
“Set Me Loose” is a euphoric Groove House anthem with a twist:
90s piano stabs, funky basslines, and shimmering pads collide with the raw energy of a bluesy harmonica.

Anthemic female vocals soar through the rhythm as hypnotic melodies bend and breathe like silver wind.
This is where the club gets a heartbeat — and the night sways with groove and grit.

🎹 Groove House / 90s Piano House / Harmonica Fusion
🎶 Funky bass, soulful hooks, and hypnotic harmonica bends
🌃 For rooftop parties, barefoot dancefloors, and nights that never want to end

Blow it higher…
Let it bend… let it roll…
That groove in the reeds, it’s takin’ control…

Set me loose — just for tonight,
Harmonica breeze — in silver light.
Set me loose — I hear the sound,
Slide through the heat — can’t hold me down.

That bluesy bend, it cuts the air,
A golden echo everywhere.
Bassline walks, and keys cascade —
That little harp? It’s how dreams are made.

Uuuuuuuh — let it shimmer…
Aaaaaaaah — sweet note glimmer…
Breathe it in… let it spin…

Set me loose — just for tonight,
With a harmonica flame and moonlight tight.
Take me there — where the wild winds sing,
Dance me free — let the silver notes ring.

"El Sonido de la Resiliencia" is one of the most personal and honest songs I’ve ever written. It came from a deep place — from moments in my life when I had to carry a weight that wasn’t mine, yet I embraced it with love and courage.

The arrangement is simple but deeply emotional. The acoustic guitar lays the foundation like a heartbeat, steady and raw. The harmonica weeps and breathes through the verses, giving voice to things I couldn't say. The organ adds a spiritual layer, almost like a silent prayer floating through the song. And then, the children’s choir… their voices break through with innocence and light, singing the chorus as if they’re echoing my younger self, or maybe reminding me why I kept going.

It’s not just a song — it’s a memory, a scar, and a victory, all wrapped into a melody. "The Sound of Resilience" doesn’t scream. It whispers — but it stays with you long after it ends."

Masterplan came from a question I ask myself often: the kind of world we’re living in, and how it keeps carrying us along. Sometimes we choose, sometimes the current decides. The song doesn’t try to give a final answer; it’s just a snapshot of accepting uncertainty and moving forward.

I recorded it with voice, acoustic guitar, keyboard, and harmonica. I wanted it to sound direct, no frills. The guitar holds the ground, the keyboard opens space, and the harmonica breathes where words fall short. If there’s a message, it’s this: we don’t know everything, but we can keep going.
