Hey BL - Ive missed a few track i think - love this - warm, quirky and totally engaging. A celebratory hit to get everyone smiling and on the dance floor AND love the mix too, really nice sense of space between the instruments and clever stereo

Nice longer set and instrument changes. I think your mix sounds pretty good and clear. Nice instrument and sample choices. Interesting to listen to.

Nice work.

Pure joy Mate. Whats your thoughts on the Cavendish going extinct. Or do you prefer Saba cultivars?
Good song.

crucethus i never thought i will encouter a wise man of banana culture on Looperman :) Now you have my respect.
I´m really worried about the production in south america and around the world. I think our generation will be the last to taste Cavendish and all the years of trying to fight against the nature made them vunarabel. Thats sad. But I´m a huge fan of Saba Cultivars. i can used it for regular meals and a like a candy treat and when i go on stage i tape my mic on a banana and can even entertain people with it. Love and greeting from a banana

A very happy go lucky kind of beat that I can definitely move to and I like to dance, Iv done contemporary dance for a number of years but in general I like to move, this track did that for me, I'm not only a singer/songwriter. shhh lol This is a Very interesting track with great textures & sounds here which draws you in no end. The type of dance you described sounds wonderful we have a dance here called Morris dancing which is done with sticks, hankerchiefs, wooden swords & sticks your description reminded me of this type of folk dance we have here. Keep up the good! work. Kudos!

Thank you much for the reccomandatio of the Morris Dance. I watched some clips on youtube and we share a lot with this dance. Never thought that england got some warrior style dance, too. My goal for my beat production is that is moves people. i´m not the best muscician with huge progression thats why i love pop music and i can combine this. I work right now a lot for phillipine artist and i try to bring joy to the people. Thank you that you listen to my track and told me something about your culture. Love from a banana

Fun, bouncy track! Definitely has an island feel to it. That dance sounds a bit risky, anyone get caught between the bamboo sticks? ouch

Who doesn't like bananas? They are so a-pealing and tasty.

Hahaha i want to make phillipines bananas morefamous, thats my new goal in life. Did you know that people in south america had wars over bananas? And this bambo stick is really crazy, but we learn this at a young age and without shoes. It learns you a lessons when you are a child. Focus and dedication and that somtimes life is just pain.

Woah! "Daylight come and I want to go home". Ok, BananaLu you coming in hot and sizzling. This mix is so clean you could eat off of it. Impressive to say the least.

Thank you very much kingmt77. I really tried to get better at mixing and not every production is good. I'm broke and i cant even afford monitor speakers but Andrew Schaps (goat of audio production) just use monitor headphones. So i think im on the right eay for modern production.

Hola amigo BananaLu, me encanta como suena tu pista, está muy bien producida. Al escucharla consigues que se produzcan dentro de mi sensaciones de felicidad, de alegría y eso me gusta. Gran ritmo, muy agradable, buenos sonidos, muy bien escogidos y producidos. Gran mezcla final. Que tengas una buena noche compañero. Hecho de menos tu voz única. Paz y salud

Banana loving the cross-cultural feel my brother, I picture your people dancing, similar to skipping just the material different bamboo as apposed to rope, being banged together, there's a happy bouncy feel to this, some what triumphant celebrating the return of a good harvest, great to here something original and different highlighting what your people bring to OUR planet

Thank you very much, your right it is part to say thank you to the nature gods. We are christian but mixed with a deep believe that god manifest in the nature. Most of the people in phillipines are poor, but we are happy to here in this world. We dont have nothing but we have our bodys to make music and as child you learn to sing and play an instrument. Thats why im so proud of my country. I can go in the street with my guitar and start to play and after 10 minutes everyone gathers around and we all dance and sing togheter.

Description : Sometimes I wonder ... what would have happened if I never watched that video?

Would everything have ended up the same? (minus me watching that video)

Or would it have ended differently?

Note: I added a Trap section to the song

Description : bpm 78 not mm idk at this point but it sounds cool i think :(

man its been a while since i went out to fish, i feel like lot of ppl dont really understand fishing or just want to get the biggest fish and lose interest quick. But the fish will always be there just living & swimming regardless of who or what enters its waters, Oblivious to the other world that lies beyond
