El Beso Discreto (The Discreet Kiss) by Compay Segundo. Arbelio (next to me) taught me the chords and the riff to this lively song. Ernesto from Son Del Rio Cuba helped me learn the phrasing of the riff. Here I am on my last day, playing for the last time with Sonávila. They have been very kind Christine and me, getting us up to play (Chris is learning claves). I love playing this song. I felt I was actually contributing, as the guitar player doesn’t play Sundays.
