.BlackPumasMusic discuss their favorite songs of the last decade and how George Michael's 'Careless Whisper' is the Swiss Army knife of songs.
. All those shows I discovered opened up many doors of musical paths that I would eventually follow. As far as actually making music, I actually remember being a little kid and playing the air guitar with tennis rackets and pretending I had a microphone and sort of lip syncing along by myself to things I saw on TV. But I don’t think I actually played an instrument until I started playing guitar when I was maybe 13 years old.
BURTON: My uncle was a big part of my life. He was a musician and a songwriter. When would babysit us, we would play melody games. So when I was about 9 or 10 years old, I would compete with my younger siblings and my sister in melody games—we would compete for snacks, small change, $3, $5. We would create a seven note melody, like one melody line. So at an early age, we would compete against each other when we went Uncle Steven’s. That’s my earliest memory of making music.
BURTON: Because I was the only sibling that continued to pursue music after the “melody games,” and I have a really close relationship with my siblings, my dream collaborator would be with my little brother. I wish that he would pursue making music and collaborate with me because he’s really talented and I’m a family man, I guess.
QUESADA: That one for sure, the one we both said. I would say Pastor T.L. Barrett, “Nobody Knows” and Serge Gainsbourg, “Requiem Pour Un Con.”
