Y Oui

from Dedication by Jim Hanks

about

I admit the concept of this one is a little "out there". The concept is to combine Spanish/Latin and French influences. The title, simply a phonetic variation of "EWI", combines the Spanish word "Y" and French word "Oui", giving the literal translation "And Yes". (Is that "Spanench" or "Frenish"?) French musical influences include the pervasive accordion and my take on the bombarde for the melody. The melody is a traditional French "sea shanty" called "Dans le Port Il Est Arrive" that I just liked the tune of. As the choruses progress, more and more "Spanish" (OK, more like "Latin") influences are added in the form of styling, percussion, and instrumentation. The final style claims to come from the French West Indies - the perfect blend.
