This American Idol contestant, Catie Turner, covered "Havana" last week.

Although these are guys, Los Lonely Boys stuff can be done with a female singers.

@Badwater , yep, we're attempting Despacito.
@Fat Freddy , that 'Somos' is beautiful. Thank you. Even if we don't use it, it's going on my personal favourites playlist.

It looks like I may be playing a few small gigs soon with a couple of folks from work.
The current line-up is a 35-yr-old singer/percussionist, big into rap and reggae, two younger women on vocals, one with some good rhythm guitar skills, the other one can absolutely nail an Amy Winehouse cover...and a guy who's only learning piano but has a great ear.

We got together the other evening to try and find common ground and one song that really came together was Camila Cabel's 'Havana'.
Truthfully I hadn't paid any attention to this tune...vaguely recalled hearing it on radio a couple of times but that's it.
But man, it's fun to play!



So now I'm on the hunt for some more tunes like it to bring to the table.
I know I should just leave it to the younger folks, but they're all new to the whole band idea and very shy of making suggestions.
So, help me out, TB...

Listening to this,on a loop, and I thought of this thread....

Thanks! I'd never heard this before...really like it.

The project is currently stalled...temporarily I hope...but in the meantime I'm learning some cool new tunes.
