oh, and I actually can sing :-P (though you may not think so from No Tiene Sentido!) -- I wrote myself in to a corner with that song, and ended up having to sing way lower than my range.
I went ahead and put No Tiene Sentido up, but I was hesitant to upload it -- I never really polished it up, so it's not representative of my best work. This was my first attempt at a full tune, in computer-based recording. It's rough, and I learned a lot doing it. No loops - all notes are played by me (midi keyboard triggering GarageBand). Latin is just one of many genres I enjoy - I'm open to just about anything! Cheers.
Cool influences, I dig Roundabout a lot, by Yes. I would love to hear something of yours as reference.

It's great D.Elmer! I would say that your voice is sounding excellent for your No Tiene Sentido song! What does your title mean? I would love to collaborate with you, just say the word.
