Versión genial, casi increíble de "Hotel California" por unos jóvenes cubanos
Luego de postear el video que alguien colgó en Facebook, me dio por averiguar quienes son estos jóvenes. Encontré que se llaman Vocal Sampling y es un grupo de Cuba formado por 6 varones que se conocieron en la escuela de artes de La Habana. Como la necesidad es la madre de la invención, la dificultad de encontrar instrumentos para hacer música los llevó a crear música a cappella. Tienen composiciones propias pero también música tradicional cubana, de Silvio Rodríguez y de otras culturas, como Hotel California. Según Wikipedia, su disco Cambio de Tiempo obtuvo 3 nominaciones para los Premios Grammy
en las categorías de Mejor Álbum Tropical Contemporáneo, Mejor
Ingeniería de Grabación para un álbum (Premio al ingeniero/ Ing. Jon
Fausty) así como para Productor del Año por el trabajo de la musicóloga
cubana Ana Lourdes Martínez.
Coincidirán conmigo en que son geniales.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell" Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (Any time of year) You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine" He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine" And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.

He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night

Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
