Marimba Orquesta Gallito - Ritmo y Palmeras (Burundanga remix)

Original track: Marimba Orquesta Gallito - Ritmo y Palmeras http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGX1VdCsFIA

The Marimba is such a beautiful instrument, every time I hear it reminds me of my childhood and makes me feel joy.

The Marimba originated from the Balafon, an ancient instrument brought by African slaves to Central and South America, it consists of a set of wooden bars with resonators.

The Marimba is incredibly popular in Guatemala and have been adapted to be played in many different styles of music, including big band Cumbia music.

Marimba Orquesta y Gallito is perhaps one of the most emblematic bands from Guatemala and no wonder why, their music its just amazing. As always, this is my way to express gratitude to the master of traditional Latin American music.

This remix incorporates many things from the original track plus some space-like filters to give it a better depth, an of course, some fat beats and vocal shots here and there so that it plays along well with other "modern" club music. If you've heard other Burundanga remixes before you'll notice how I try to keep the raw sounds from the original versions as much as posible, so if you hear some vinyl-like pops and cracks thats because it is the intention.

I hope you like it, feedback and comments are always welcome, and if you are up fro grabs there's a 320KBPS ready to be downloaded!
