Jesse Cook | Cascada (Rumba Flamenco Guitar Music)

Long before the albums, the bands, the concert halls, and the touring, there was a humble three song demo, recorded at my home with percussionist Mario Melo, and bassist Andres Morales, on a cassette tape-based 4 track recorder (yes, those are the versions that ended up on the album). This week I revisited one of those songs: Cascada.

This is back in 1994, and I had met someone who said they had an "in" at Sony Music Canada. So I wrote Tempest, Breeze from Saintes Maries, and this song: Cascada, packaged them up in an awkward looking cassette tape (yes, that was still a thing in 1994), and sent them off to Sony.

Sony politely passed on the project, perhaps understandably, as record execs weren't exactly lining up to sign guys playing weird spanish guitar mixed with world music. But it didn't really matter, because by then I was on my way. With three songs done, I thought "how much more work would it be to do a whole record?"

A year later my life had changed completely, with my CD "Tempest" charting on the Billboard charts, and released in 40 countries around the world, and no one was more surprised than me.

So here is me playing one of my oldest, dearest songs. One of the original three. I will always be thankful to this song. Its modest melody opened the world to me. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for this one.

Thanks for watching
