But then the newness of it is maybe in the rhythm and in the bass area, and maybe a little bit of just what it sounds like.
Every little thing makes a difference.
Someone asked us to go down there, and it was the best opportunity to go to Cuba legally, basically, and have free rein of all these musicians and art. I recorded it on a DAT player. You're not allowed to use any of the recordings you get down there because of the embargo. You can release them on computer. I think the computer is a frontier in a way.
