TOMOSUKE

MPB stands for Música Popular Brasileira. Simply put, it is a hybrid Brazilian popular music that incorporates elements of other genres of music while incorporating bossa nova techniques.
With the recent boom in Brazilian music, MPB has been attracting a lot of attention, and the name of this genre has become more and more common, with major CD retailers now having MPB sections.

MPB is the genre that has influenced me the most and makes me feel the best, and I have written songs that have that kind of vibe for MAMBO A GO GO and Gitadora.
So, this song is the third in the MPB series! However, the direction is a bit different from the previous two songs, as Tizona is based on Spanish music.
The guitar approach is not bossa nova, but more like Spanish in scale and stroke technique.
The keyboard instruments have a 70's fusion feel, with many modulations and complex tension notes in the key signatures.

Conclusion! Brazilian music is great!

TOMOSUKE

Tizona d'El Cid is a sword that belonged to El Cid, a hero of La Reconquista in 11th century Spain.
I imagined that after El Cid's death, the sword passed through the hands of various people and finally ended up in the hands of a beautiful gypsy dancer, and I created this piece by overlaying the scene of La Reconquista and the dancer's graceful movements.
I originally wrote this song for IIDX, but like "Brazilian Anthem", I decided to incorporate it into Gitadora by rearranging the drum pattern and other parts of the song.

The request was for "a picture of a woman holding a sword named El Cid", and this is what I came up with.
The sound was exotic and bewitching, so I tried to make her a sexy gypsy?
Realistic drawing style? American comic style? Ummm... I don't know... Everyone is so cute to see. And so cool too. I can't draw this. (help me!! master goli!! master maya!!)

For practice! I put a "TokiM*mo" card next to it and tried to imitate it, but it was not the same character... The team members laughed at me and put it in a folder with a funny story called "Gallery" (/_;) I tried to practice it very seriously, but~
Next time I see you, I'll do my best to draw a prettier gal.
