Hi guys, please visit link above to listen, to purchase, and to dance. I proudly consider this song to be my American Rumba. A long time ago, I taught myself to play a bulerias (a rapid 12/8 form in flamenco) by Paco De Lucia; later on, I wrote Smile (this being a rumba, the meter is 4/4). Back then I was writing a series of compositions for my students, with one thing in mind; the sheet music for each tune had to be kept to a page. Smile was one of them, and because I continued to play this piece year after year, it grew beyond that original one page.

みなさん、この曲は僕のアメリカン・ルンバです。ずっと昔にパコ・デ・ルシアのブレリア (12/8拍子のフラメンコ) を独学し、しばらく後に Smile を作曲 (ルンバなので4/4拍子)。そのころ自分の生徒さん用にいろんなスタイルの曲を作っていて、一曲ごとに五線譜一枚に収まるように仕上げていました。Smile も、その中のひとつだからもともとは五線譜一枚。弾き続けてきたので Smile は広がり、弾き続けているので今後さらにもっと笑います。
