Story behind the song
Take note. Before any of todays artist were putting 'snaps' in their songs and claiming they invented the sound, I was using the 'fingersnap' sound in select tracks as early as 1999. I have the clients to prove it. Now it seems that 'snaps' have become more of the norm than just an experimental thing. Makes me wonder what the 'next' bandwagon people jump on is going to be. Anyway,... This tracks was originally composed on a piano in a nursing home dining room while I was waiting to pick up someone from work. It was months later before I actually took it to another level and decided to record it. Amazing what U can come with in your down time isn't it.
Lyrics
No lyrics. Just 'Gumbo Funk' at its finest.

Kinda gotta Gospel feel on this - very soothing and serene. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my son's first beat. You are correct - he has produced 5 tracks since the one I've posted but he is still mastering them. I spit a hook on one that is soon to be released. Keep being an inspiration to all the youngstaz here on soundclick. I've noticed you on many pages - and I know you are very supportive of young talent.

Hey Shadow, Thank you for stopping by my band page and the very nice comments about "Sinfonietta Flamenca". I just finished uploading some music when I saw your comments. I listened to "Hip Hop Symphony" and I liked it a lot. I think it is an outstanding and beautiful composition!!! I will check out your other music tomorrow and let you know what I think. I started this page about five months ago. I have not had any artists or producers inquire about any of the music, just a few inquiries about collaborations. Yeah, music is a melting pot and brings everyone together. Thanks again, and I'm honored you checked out my music. Ivan T.
