Tres Reyes (We Three Kings Squlpo remix)

[Intro: worn mono vinyl crackle, faint room noise, distant old Spanish male singer] Tres Reyes vienen… [cut] …vienen… [record stop, brief silence] [Beat enters: deep electric bass, dusty breakbeat, congas, claves, guiro] [Chop the vocal into a syncopated rhythmic hook] Tres… tres… Tres Reyes La estrella… la estrella… [Main groove: hypnotic bass riff, tremolo guitar, loose Afro-Cuban percussion] [Old Spanish male vocal, sung with vintage theatrical phrasing] Siguiendo la estrella… [cut, pitch down] La estrella… [repeat with tape echo] Oro, incienso y mirra… [Instrumental passage: bass and percussion lead, muted trumpet answers the vocal fragments, short flute motif] [Breakdown: drums drop out, warped vocal fragments and crackling vinyl] Por el camino… Por… por… por el camino… [Full groove returns: heavier breakbeat, interlocking percussion, chopped vocal call and response] Tres Reyes… vienen… La estrella… nos guía… Oro… incienso… mirra… [Outro: percussion gradually disappears, bass continues, vocal fragments slow and fall apart into tape echo] Tres… Reyes… [vinyl crackle, abrupt cut]
