Sub Sahara

Here is a (very) rough recording of an african pop inspired song in its early stages. The basic chord progressions are posted in the bulletin section. I realize you can't see the bulletin unless you are a member of the session so if you like the song and want to contribute let me know and I'll invite you. Or submit an audition track.. The thing that I like about the song is how part B and C are really the opposites of one another but the vibe is fairly similar so unless you really listen it almost sounds like the song only has two parts. I'm really looking for someone to add something that accentuates the difference between part B and C without making it so obvious that it loses the subtlety. Any instruments are welcome.... Also looking for someone to write some interesting lyrics for it.

Hey guys, I've invited Bayo to write lyrics and vocals to the song. We may end up re-recording it if he would rather have the verses longer, the arrangement different, etc, to fit the lyrics.

I'm excited to hear what we can create!
