Very transformative, still recognizable, and I love the genre - I'm not knowledgeable enough to fully grok all the influences blending together, but I have a general affinity for Latin, South American, & Carribean music and have always wanted to see their rhythms, palettes, and energy represented more on OCR. Hopefully, it meets the OCR criteria, as this music style should become more known outside of Colombia and is very near and dear to me." I've worked on this mix for a better part of the year since it is very tough to find a balance between keeping it fresh but not wandering from the motif too far, since I felt that that would stray too far from the style I was going for working with percussion loops rather than the instruments individually also played a factor. Dragon Roost Island's theme felt very natural due to its very Andean style, because its chord progression was ripe for translating to the I-V-I progression used in songs like "El Pesebre" and " Danza de los Mirlos," which is evident most in the bass guitar for that style of music.

A good example for this style of music from them is " El Pesebre," which is a very common song to hear in the Antioquia region of Colombia during Christmas. This one, I wanted to make a remix in the same style of Afrosound, a Colombian instrumental band who combined electric guitar sound with traditional Andean music in the 1970s that has been described as having a hybrid cumbia sound.
