Dame vida is the first single by "El Clan Destino", a latin music project created by Gastón Perez "Gato" and Vicent Campos in Valencia, Spain.
This bolero speaks of an immeasurable love and the little things that two lovers share and enjoy.
The song was originally composed by Gastón, that delivered the raw chords and poetry to Vicent Studio (Nature Music Records) on September 2021. Together worked on the song adding layers, colours, orchestration and the actual structure.
They thought about creating a latin Big Band format, inspired by the great Big bands of the 50s and 60s, recovering this genre almost forgotten on this days.
On this recording a bunch of musicians participated and collaborated selflessly, including: Gastón Perez (Guitar, Voice), Federico Martín (Drums/Percussion) Manel Chust (Latin Percussion), Javier Carbó (Percussion), Juan Francisco Alemany, Eloy Suárez (Trombones), Vicent Campos and Diego Hernández (Trumpets), Pau Albert (Double Bass), Xavier Alamán (Bass), Sonia Cano (Cello), Vasko Vassilev (Violin), Simon Mark Taylor, Daniel Trujillo, Manuel Gómez and Javier García (Sax).
The recording was made mostly in a Strawbale house in Okambuva (
