Tommy Guerrero - Salve f. Curumin
From From the Soil to the Soul [Quannum Records]: 2006
I've bought a few of Tommy Guerrero's albums over the past few years and although I like him and feel like he is a solid producer, none of his individual songs have ever made a lasting impression on me. Until now that is. For the most part his music light and simple; its the kind of stuff you might listen to while chillin in your yard on a Sunday afternoon with some friends or while you are hanging out and relaxing in your room. Generally however I don't feel like there is tons of diversity in his predominately instrumental style, which is why I was pleasantly surprised when I heard Salve. The song (which features fellow Brazilian label mate Curumin on vocals) is the perfect cure for a dry, dreary day. The guitar intro and drumbeat which comes in about half a minute into the song are perfectly juxtaposed with Curumin's vocals, giving the song a soft, pretty edge. My only complaint with the song is that it ends too soon. Maybe the reason I like this song so much is because I find Portuguese to be such a beautiful language. Whatever the case is, Salve is on constant repeat in my CD player (yea, I still use one).
