Have to agree with the above. Great arrangement and playing, absolutely top notch. Sadly let down by the vocal side. The monotonous one liner repetition might well work with some songs but falls flat here (to my ears anyway). I'd just play around extemporising a bit on the melody and vocal timing. It sounds too "straight" - that may have been what you were aiming for stylistically of course but it doesn't seem to work here. A little vocal latitude would make this a 100% winner. The music itself is complex and tight but has that Latin looseness that the vocal line lacks. Nonetheless some great work here.
