I think I want a tres

[Phlat Phive]

The Cuban tres, that is.

What a wonderful instrument.

I should probably also get one of those hats to go with it. And a Cuban cigar.

So are hats. Or, something. I need more coffee.

I looked up a recipe for cafe Cubano for you, hermano. I'm a helper.

Find me an ethnic stringed instrument and I want it. It doesn't matter if I barely know how to tune the damn thing... I love 'em and you never know when it could be THE sound you're looking for on a track.

On an unrelated note, I found this in the related videos of the one above, and fell in love.




With her, that is. Not the guitar (guitars are toss ).

Wait, no, guitars aren't toss. And back to Cuban music.

Idunno about Cubans, but Brazilians eat that much sugar as well, and they get teeth pulled left and right. It's very common there for someone to have all of their teeth pulled and a set of dentures installed...around the age of 40.

¡Tu tienes que llevar puesto un Guayabera cuándo juega el tres!

I'll keep that in mind. I think it will go well with the hat.

^^ That's pretty cool. I like most of the Cubanos Pastizos stuff I've heard.
