It is a bossa nova composition, with latin music rhythms, written in the key of E major, with some quartal harmonies and a break in Em9. Originally written as a latin instrumental or ballad, the song has a flowing melody, with a tenor sax taking the lead and a jazz guitar leading the break and providing harmonies. The song is written at 120 bpm. The visual images, however, are flamenco dance scenes from various artists. Flamenco music is a gypsy kind of music from Andalucia, southern Spain. It is often performed by female dancers who do not sing, but dance in a flowing manner, raising and lowering their arms as if to pick oranges from the tops of trees, only to squeeze them gracefully with their fingers. Singing is often done by male singers in a Morisco type of chant in the Phrygian (intense minor) mode. Rhythms typically can be heard from group clapping, foot stomping from the heels of the dancers, castinets and by the strumming of the guitars. This musical composition is not written in the Phrygian mode however. As mentioned, it is written in a major key, that shifts into mystical quartal harmonies at the break. The Latin rhythms are flowing and not staccato as many Flamenco rhythms are. So there's definitely a cross-cultural thing going on here. However, as a guitarist who visited southern Spain to see Flamenco dancing first-hand, I could not escape the mystery and allure of the Spanish dancers in these paintings. Notice the sequence of the aging accompanying guitarists in the video. Their guitars are held in their laps with a passion that mimics their adoration of the curvature and long necks of the Flamenco dancers themselves. The artwork in the video is available on Pinterest.com, Etsy.com, AliExpress.com Alamy.com and CreativeCommons.org I am currently working with a lyricist and vocalist to produce a vocal version of this song as well.
