The track: https://s.disco.ac/akqwzdjttuqj

SPANISH GUITAR-DRIVEN INSTRUMENTALS are needed for an (up to) $500, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement in an upcoming Series on a Premium Streaming Platform that is currently in post-production!
NOTABLE: This film's Producer used a bunch of TAXI members' music in his last (few) films, and loved what he found so much that he has come back for more!

This Music Supervisor is looking for Mid-Tempo Spanish-style Instrumentals that are guitar-driven and could be heard on a playlist with the following references:
"Noches en Adalucía" by El Tano Gabarri https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D74-4dN5Iag&t=1s
"Oasis" by Guitarra Azul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Czz_UYSwU&t=1s
"Flamenco" by Tormenta De Fuego https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrxfKXJMu4s&t=2s

Please submit well-crafted Spanish Guitar-driven Instrumentals with catchy melodies, infectious grooves, and top-notch performances that could work well for a variety of sync placements. Your submissions should have great energy, dynamic arrangements, and Spanish instrumentation in the general ballpark of the references (acoustic guitars, percussion, etc.). Live instrumentation will work best, but if you choose to use virtual sounds or samples, please make sure they are high-quality and completely realistic sounding. If you have tracks that sound like something you might hear in a rustic wine tavern in Spain, send them in!

Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

The license fee for this placement is (up to) $500, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recordings, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Copyright and Master Recordings to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Tuesday, August 8th, 2023. TAXI # S230808TM

Great track... the only thing that MIGHT be missing - depending on end-user's plan - lack of EDIT POINTS?!
hmmmm...
Still, I'll vote "F"...
good luck.

No cowbell,but still a F

[AlanHall]

Well, did the subject line of the email start with "congratulations"?

edit: just got a chance to listen. Hits on all cylinders, Casey! I'd "EFF" it!

[superkons]

F all day long!

[gitanosoy]

Sounds pretty good. F

I already new I was going to get a return to this listing because I refuse to make my track sound cheesy and compressed like the ref tracks,which you hear a lot in travel shows or cooking shows and people get use to that and think that's the way it should sound. I will change and serve the sync industry and write for the brief in all the other genres but when it comes to flamenco, sorry not going to ruin my guitar sound. I was going to post my return here but what is the point, if there is one music I know more than others is FLAMECNCO which by the way as the ref tracks say "Spanish music" at least it doesn't insult the flamenco art form.

Listen to Vicente Amigo, Antonio Rey and even early Gipsy Kings before their sound got ruined by getting indorsed by guitars with pickups in them.

Sorry didn't mean to highjack your thread

So was it an F or an R?
