Name: Guaguanco with Balaphone track by Joseph Pursley
Duration: 2 min 34 s
Description: Here is a part of this song Im recording at home now. I put the bed track for this song together using my percussion instruments recording one track at a time. I was going to record the melody with Kora but Im still practicing that so I used the balaphone to test out the melody idea and improvised some spuratic solos.

So I decided to try out my new recording stuff with a cool african rhythm Kpanlogo. But I didnt have nice drums to use for the rhythm parts, I had to use really loose drums my friends left here that cant be tuned up,because each track should be a different drum. My drum is the only tight one here. I also used 130 then 150 then 170 BPM it got really out of hand fast, I did it all in one day so I was pretty tired by the time I was ready for the solo track. I decided to do the whole thing over again one day but tune my drum differently for each track instead of using my friends busted old drums to get a diverse sound. Today I did some edits on it and the loose drums are quite unique, here it is. You can get a sense of one of my styles
