Gipsy - Jesse Cook

Gipsy - Jesse Cook
2:31
Gravity, 1996
Written by Jesse Cook

This is a flamenco fusion instrumental with a lively beat, rapid virtuoso finger-picking, a jazzy bass line, and some real shake-your-hips array of percussion lines, including steel drum.  It's fun, it's poppy, it's a terrific blend of world styles.  Cook is Canadian, but he's a master of this stylistic blend.  I could easily see this as the track for a Shakira or Santa vocal.
