Havana, Rhumba, Clave and Kenny G

I've never heard a kenny g song entirely in its full. honest. but after listening to how Raghav
played one of his tunes, i thought i'd have to check it out and yeah so i listened to kenny g's
'Havana'. you know wat, this rhumba groove and feel makes u really wanna dance man..

i can picture a sorta dimly lit ball room, everyone is dancing to the tune. slow tempo start off..
and then across the hallway, you meet a total stranger. both of you make eye contact and
there's this great surge in awareness and instantly you both want each other. it's like a stand
off. no one party moves at all. you can feel an immediate rise in the temperature of the room.
she looks totally gorgeous in watever she's wearing, some frills, lace and a corset, and you
are clad out in a tux, cigar in one hand. the tempo's about to get off on a faster note, so you
both start walkin across the dance floor to each other.. slowly gliding towards each other..
your gaze is fixed.. staring straight into the souls of each other.

Finally, you meet, you dun say a word at all but you hold her sensually close and she exudes
a sorta numbing effect dat makes your head swirl.. maybe it's the perfume.. maybe it's the
lipstick.. or maybe.. it's just her eyes.... then you both move step by step to the beat of the
rhythm of the night, do the rhumba baby~ all these while, your eyes are on her and hers are
staring back straight into yours.. and then she pulls you closer towards her buxom.. you hold
her by the waist and lower her head down almost touching the ground while your head's
buried in her buxom.. and after dat you pull up and you twirl her round your arms. your bodies
move like synchronised parts of precision clockwork, each subtle movement hints of more intense
sensuality.

Like the dance of love, you both know where this is takin you to and there's great chemistry,
the atmosphere is electrifyin.. you can hear kenny g's high improvised notes in the background..
the rhythmic congas.. the violins.. the flamenco guitar.. the music has a melancholy feel to it..
you dun want this dance to end at all.. but you know it's gotta have to end.. this forbidden
rendezvous.. this night has to end somehow.. you both dance more intensely, you feel it in the
touch.. finally the music ends.. and you both have to part ways.. you both gaze into each other's
eyes again.. she closes hers and you do the most natural thing dat comes to your mind. you gently
kiss her on the lips. you kiss again.. and again..

The kiss becomes slightly wetter now and you both delve into amorous mode.. your palms hold
each other tightly.. the kiss crescendos to the peak before she pulls away abruptly... but not with
one final gaze into ur eyes.. this time there's a look of sadness and longing in her eyes... she backs
off.. slowly..unwillingly.. you know she hates to do it but she has no choice.. you feel her heart
breakin.. you can only stand still..

At this point, a guy takes her by the hand and leads her out of the dance floor.. she steals a last
glance at you..


Ok, dat is my take on Havana by Kenny G :) it seriously is one really sensuous and romantic song
dat makes u go light in the head and feet.. definitely one to play on the dancefloor where you do
ur latino moves man..~ it is awesome. i think it's the quintessential dance of love type of tunes~
you should hear it for yourself :)
