The video was created by Playing for Change, a group dedicated to “breaking down boundaries and overcoming distances” through music
in West Africa — combining all these different elements kind of helps take the song to another level, and introduces all these different instruments and shows the world how well they work together.It was amazing. We went to Cuba with the crew, and we had no real plan as to who we were going to record. But we did know about the first musician you see in the video, his name is Pancho Amat and he is a living legend considered to be the greatest tres player in the world.
And so you have some of these tracks ready to go, like, the basic tracks that you can just decide to put someone on if you like what they’re doing? Yeah, we usually travel with multiple songs at the same time, so that we can find a best way to succeed with each artist based on where would they best fit.How is the original track made? Does your Playing for Change Band record the basic track that you then add on to?
No, I think “Chan Chan” was started by Roberto on the piano. First thing we recorded was the piano, and then the tres the next day. So the tres player would just hear the piano player. And then the next musician would just hear whoever was before them. And then slowly over time, it builds. And one of the coolest parts of “Chan Chan” from Buena Vista is the trumpet solo. To me, it was one of the greatest trumpet solos I’d ever heard.
