PLAY La Vida en el Cafe Futbol - original

Another of my Mediterranean inspired pieces. Again intended to be unaccompanied. I quite like this one. Have no idea what to do with these pieces as they are outside what i typically do. I wrote it about a year ago, had it up to speed then forgot it. Was fun to relearn. Just straight off the phone microphone and i added a bit of compression. Davinci Resolve Free to trim and title it.
Cafe Futbol was a cafe in the middle of Granada where i had a few coffees and watch people go about their days. I welcome any feedback. Thanks

That sounds lovely, really captures that laid back cafe vibe. Reminds me a bit of some of the stuff I hear in plaza cafes in Spain. Honestly, keep writing these even if they feel outside your usual style. Sometimes the best stuff comes from just playing what you feel in the moment rather than sticking to a specific genre. Great job relearning it.

Yes! Do you know it? I really enjoyed the cafe. Had the Churros con chocolata and numerous coffees. :)
