Good day to you all!
Week 32 is Here! Excitement fills the air as I kick off another incredible week. I've been blown away by the talented artists and their stunning performances—it’s honestly humbling to witness such beauty and creativity in every proposal. Week 31 was unforgettable in its own right! 😁
For this week, I decided again to step outside my usual reggae comfort zone to embrace my love for jazz—a genre I revisit from time to time. My entry, Sommertime, is a song that has held a special place in my heart ever since I first heard it as a teenager. It remains one of my all-time favorites. Over the years, countless artists have reimagined this classic, infusing it with their unique styles and interpretations. Each version feels like a new song, and I can't help but pause and admire their creativity.
This time, I ventured to create my own acoustic rendition—a personal interpretation I’ve added to my live repertoire. True to my signature approach, this version was recorded in one take in the heart of my humble home here in Cuba, right in my living room. Whenever I perform it, I strive to keep it fresh and spontaneous, allowing emotions to guide me through the melodies while preserving the essence of the song. Improvisation is key for me. I aim to let the feelings flow freely, creating an experience that’s unique every time.
I hope this tune resonates with you as my heartfelt tribute to the legendary jazz singers who have kept this musical gem alive across generations. Their passion inspires me to honor this wonderful lullaby in my own way.
Good luck to all competitors and good vibes to everyone participating this week!
One Love!
Lyrics
Sommertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your Daddy is rich and your Mommy is good looking
So, hush little baby, don't you cry
One of this mornings you are gonna rise up and singing
Then you spread your wings and you'll fly to the sky
But till that morning there's a nothing can harm you
With Dad and Mommy standing by
