Review of Teenaged Guitarists Tackle "El Gato Montes"

Teenagers and music. They seem to go together. It's hard to find a teen who doesn't like music, or who doesn't like to play an instrument or sing. This fun piece highlights just a few teens struggling through a musical piece, El Gato Montes, and trying to get it perfect for their performance!
I love the descriptive narration and I think the piece is really well written. The vox is perfect, and is at a nice volume. I really like the conclusion the producer comes to, about how you just get lost in the music, and how that can be forgotten if there's too much repetition.
This is a really nice short piece that touches on some universal themes of music. I really liked it, it's a meaningful yet fun sound-rich commentary. Thanks to Carlos Maeda for putting this up!
