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.

Sunday Morning by micayetoca

Sunday Morning is a mellow Caribbean take on the Velvet Underground song. The string instrument here is the cuatro; the genre is danzon; the whistling and percussion feel organic.

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!

Purepechazz by micayetoca

Purepechazz is a mellow jazz piece, revolving around an acoustic guitar, mostly wordless and then not in English.

Don’t Let Jessamyn Pick the Themes by micayetoca

Don’t Let Jessamyn Pick the Themes is an instrumental acoustic song, with seagulls. It’s another take on the first Music Challenge, water.
