(this might be better suited for the Cafe, but I’ll start here)
My friend asked I put some vocals down on a track he wrote. I had to add some strings and a few other tidbits to the track to help the vocals fit.
As I was messing around I loaded up a sample pack called “gyspy vox” (if was just some freeware sample pack I found someplace)
As luck would have it, the sample that played sounded pretty good with the music. So I continued on that direction just to see what the end product would sound like -never really intending on keeping it that way.
At the end of the day I was quite pleased with the result.
Here’s my problem. I haven’t a clue what language the vocals are in or what their translation is.
It sounds like it could be greek, but I’m not sure.
If someone could give it a quick listen and see if they could identify the language, that would be swell. Bonus points if you know what they are saying.
LOL. That’s what my wife was saying. She said something like "won’t you be supprised if it means ‘Bow to the holy worm god’ "
I know some of it is just gibberish. But the phraze that I placed in with the hand claps is SOMETHING… I’m just not sure what.
Oh, and thanks. It’s funny when you make a track like this and end up trying something just for the hell of it. Somehow it seems to work out better then what first came to mind.
I think the bit where there is hand-clapping (palmeo) is Spanish, Flamenco style singing actually. I think it says
“Te hacemos ganar”
(te haceeeemos ganaaar, actually), which means “we will make you win”. I can’t make out the rest, though.
Flamenco is quite hard to understand even for Spanish speakers since all vowels are elongated a lot.
The title of the track is very appropriate since flamenco is sung (typically) by gitanos in Spain (gypsies). It is definately Spanish.
By the way, great track! I really like it. Have you or your friend put out any cd’s?
p.s. Why is it listed as “genre : instrumental”? That sounds very non-descript to me.
