"Saâda Bonaire were supposed to be stars. Two German models who sing, a DJ who produces and the interplay between exoticism and cultural appropriation were on the wish list of the music giant EMI in the eighties. They bargained so high with the trio from Bremen that they shoved the money at them in handcarts – until the result could be heard. A no-wave mix from the art academy, global pop for Disco Stu, German weirdness for the niche. The label cut the cash line, the rest is the short story of a band whose one and only record is traded on Discogs for four-figure amounts of euros."

Leo Brouwer Estudios Sencillos XIII: Movido Thibault Cauvin

I'm trying to play this myself. Bars 20 to 29 are killing my right hand. You can find loads of recordings of this especially on youtube but Cauvin is way ahead in musicality. I especially enjoy how he keeps the melody and the rhythm section separate.


If you want to see how it's done this is a good video.
