Vamos a reír (Lyrics / Arrangement)
Six years have passed since Canto a la tierra. Although it is a mini album, this is the third work.
The big change was that it was a distribution-only release. And I decided to release all the music videos. It's the flow of the times.
This production started with the concept of "Bailable". I tried to incorporate new challenges everywhere, both in terms of music and lyrics.
Birthday: Some English is used according to the atmosphere of the song, and the lyrics are in Spanish and English to make it more familiar to the ears like Salsa Romantica and make it more pop.
La vida gira y gira: For the first time, I tried to incorporate the elements of flamenco while consulting with a good friend, percussionist Kazuto Kimura, who is bright about flamenco. I crossed flamenco and son and finished it like rumba flamenco as a whole.
Love letter: I wrote a Trova song that I've always wanted to write, both in terms of returning to the origin and in terms of bilabre. I'm always conscious of every song, but because it's a trova, I finish the lyrics while paying more attention to how to rhyme.
Vamos a reir: It's a straight Son song. I haven't made this kind of straight song so far, so I wonder if it's new.
While drawing on the flow of the past, we will also incorporate new things and make them our own sounds. This is a collection of works that are packed with 7sonora's "present", which is typical of 7sonora.

Mr. Yamaguchi, a writer who supports 7sonora from the first album and an editor of Salsa 120%, wrote such a review!
7sonora 's new mini album. I remember firmly that both of the two works already mentioned were made with a high level of consciousness and sense, and the colors were not a little different from each other, so I was looking forward to listening to this new work. .. When you say organic, it sounds like a relaxing mood, but in a good way, you can feel the strength of your shoulders. The arrangement of the Hitano flavor is also outside the predicted area. Despite each activity as a player, I have felt the individuality of the group for a long time, but I am glad that he has shown the unparalleled existence this time as well. Personally, "Birthday " is a key point.

Fue posible de intentar y desafiar varias cosas con este albúm porque hubo tiempo suficiente para la producción y 前作と比べこのアルバムは、ゼロから楽曲制作に取り掛かれたこと、そして制作段階に十分な時間的余裕があったこともあって、個人的にも実に様々なことに挑戦することが出来ました。
1stでは作詞のみだったのが本作では作詞以外にも作曲やアレンジ（ホーンやチェロの）なども手掛けたこと。日本語の歌詞の割合を高めつつ色々なタイプの歌詞を書いたこと。中でも最大の挑戦は３曲目の『Rezo』。すでにお聴きになった方はうなずかれるかと思います。
CDの方では紙面の都合上訳詞やライナーノートを載せることが出来ませんでしたので、セルフライナーノーツのページを設け、ぼくが今回手掛けた歌詞と、スペイン語の歌詞はその和訳をご覧いただけるようにしました。
また、試聴もそちらで出来るようになっています。

If there is an edge to record at the Canary Islands of Lanzarote, Spain, 1 st album memorable of 7 sonora subjected to mix-mastering work in Madrid.
NANA 's idol and great Cuban artist Pavel Urkiza, who I respect and never stop, and Más Que Son , a Cuban group living in Canary, collaborated with each other to determine the direction of the 7 sonora. But there is also.
Since the recording was decided in a hurry, nearly half of the songs were remade with NANA, which was already there, and the other songs were actually written. Production period is song who was produced in a hurry large that less than a year, there is also the fact that 1 st album, also there is the fact that Spain record, I just truly memorable adorable work.
