Sway(by Pablo Beltran Ruiz)
Even though we don't know what it is with the name of this tune only,
we can recognize it is well known cha cha cha tune for Korean once we listen.
The representative artist I think among several musicians who covered this tune is Michael Buble.
곡명만 봐서는 무슨곡인지 모르겠으나(스웨인??) 들어보면 대중적인 차차차 곡임을 알 수 있다.
그리 많은 아티스트가 부르진 않았어도 대표적인 가수를 한명 뽑자면 Michael Buble 를 꼽을 수 있다.

<Reference Information: Artist Biography>
Michael Bublé is a prominent Canadian singer, songwriter and actor. This young and energetic singer had set his eyes on the world of jazz since childhood. With great jazz legends like Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney and Ella Fitzgerald being his inspirations, Michael Bublé followed their footsteps and became a successful classic jazz and soul singer. This Canada-born Grammy-winning singer has won the hearts of a million fans worldwide through his soothing voice and unique style. He credits his ever increasing-fame to his grandfather, who opened him up to the world of music and brought him numerous opportunities to showcase his talent to various artists and celebrities, thereby shaping his career and future. It was through his granddad’s collection of records of jazz and soul music that inspired him to take up singing seriously and become a vocalist at such a tender age, something that musicians struggle for years to achieve. His moving and expressive voice went on to break several records on Canadian, American, Australian, and European album charts, with every new studio album. Apart from being a jazz vocalist, he has ventured into acting and songwriting as well, besides taking up several television projects.

===============================================================================================
Nowadays, we have been preparing several tunes(about 30) for performance in Sep.
Among those tunes, I chose SWAY which it takes cha cha cha rhythm.
최근 공연준비를 위해 여러곡을 다루고 있는데 그 중에서 Cha Cha Cha 리듬을 타는 SWAY를 업로드 하였다.
<Score>
Once a week(Mostly Sat) we meet and practice. We are a little bit big group(a dozen) who prepare about 30 tunes for concert.
Rhythm session: Drum 1, Percussion 2
Harmony: Base 1, Piano 1, Cindy 1, Guitar 1
Melody: Vocal 3, Alto 1, Violin 1 Total=13??
(Turns out it was a dozen first. But I became a member later. I'm a one of percussionists)
Playing shaker and guiro is kind of my thing. But I'd like to take piano session...
But, our current pianist graduated from B..klee Colleage of Music. I must play percussion.
During first meeting, we learned how to organize by playing several times. I took a short video which it shows only final part.
매 주 토요일마다 한번씩 모여 합주하는데 아.. 규모가 크다. 약 12명이서(About a dozen) 30개정도 공연 곡을 준비한다.
리듬파트 드럼 1 퍼커션 2 베이스1, 화음파트 피아노1 신디1 기타1, 멜로디파트 보컬3 알토 1 바이올린1 = 13명이네??
(그러고 보니 원래는 12명인데 나중에 합류되서 저기 퍼커션 2중에 셰이커 파트를 담당하고 있다.)
셰이커 귀로 이런건 내가 쫌 할수있는데, 사실 피아노가 더 하고 싶긴한데... 지금 하시는 분이 버클리음대. 난 셰이커나 해야지.
첫번째 주에는 곡 계속 돌려보면서 구성을 맞추는 시간을 가졌다. 끝부분 앤딩파트만 짧게 올렸다.
<Practice video for first week>
Date: 2017.7.8 8:50 PM
Location: 3528 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC
Anyway, I'm going to take a full video once we are perfect in next meeting.
그건 그렇고 다음 모임때 좀더 완성되면 전체 영상을 하나 찍어야 겠다.
=================================(To be continue)========================================
After a couple of weeks, we practiced again. In this time I took a full practice video.
그리고 몇 주 지나 다시 합주하여 촬영해 보았다. 이번에는 풀영상으로 올렸다.
<Practice video for second week>
Date: 2017.7.29 9:29 PM
Location: 3528 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC
(As you can see) Since we didn't practice for the time being, we almost forgot the organization. So, we organized once again.
At the final moment, we played cha cha cha to end.
By the way, our group members suggested me to open YouTube channel. But I have been running this blog since 2012.
