"Alfonsina y el mar" is an argentinian song written by Ariel Ramírez which I adapted to vibes from a flamenco guitar arrangement by Marcos Teira. The original rhythm is the zamba, from Argentina, but I play a flamenco rhythm called bulería, using the vibraphone like a guitar with arpeggios and dampened chords. The form is AAB and I played a little impro in the second AA. I hope you like it. Cheers!!!

You opened a wide door to world's music for vibes, and beautifuly - like a boss. Hat off !
So good to listen to flamenco with a new sound (and I am a guitar player who digs deeply flamenco on guitar). Bravo

Fantastic Ton, great execution and interpretation. That is one of my favorite songs. I hope you have a great time with Christos and Israel for the clinics. Please say hello for me. Happy Holidays! Ed

I always enjoy hearing something I've never heard before. This was really excellent, and I'll be on the lookout for your future videos.
