Sometimes just the performance can make music horrible, even though the performers are skilled, and the rendition has no obvious flaws. Here's Guarachi Guaro by the Salvadorean band Proyecto Acústico. Compare it with the arrangement it was taken from by Cal Tjader and his quintet from 1953. Much better, but why?
Here also is the original by Dizzy Gillespie, arranged by Gerald Wilson. Only 276 views, though superior to the others. Love the wind up gramophone. I have one of these in the attic, I may take it out for a 'spin' some day.
