Cendricero by micayetoca

Cendricero is a lovely and mellow Caribbean-flavored tune, with unusual stringed instruments. It’s one of the rare non-English songs to appear here.

Caminito verde by micayetoca

Caminito verde is a Spanish folk cover of a Alejo Durán song – though it sounds like acoustic guitar and harmonica, it’s really a requinto jarocho and a melodica.

Cancao de amor by micayetoca

Canção de amor is micayetoca’s cover of The Cure’s “Lovesong,” in Portuguese. It’s a gothic love ballad, and this is a bit stripped-down and lovely.

There were a lot of covers in November 2008, thanks to threads that spawned a sorta-unofficial Music Challenge. More of those will be coming up!

FAIRWAY by NemesisVex

FAIRWAY is NemesisVex’s cover of a song from the Japanese pop band, SUPERCAR, all jangly guitars. The (translated) lyrics are enjoyably cryptic and contemplative.
