An English anthem for the only kind of national anthem that has no words: set to Spain's Marcha Real and broken open into flamenco and rumba, it grieves, with a genuine cante wail, that after 265 years nobody could agree on a single line, then answers with palmas and pure fiesta.
Que Viva el La-La-La
Style
A genre-fusion anthem moving from a stately ~76 BPM Spanish royal brass march into a syncopated ~110 BPM rumba flamenca, with banda brass, flamenco guitar, cajón, congas and palmas behind a dramatic tenor turning to raw, melismatic Andalusian cante.
