REISSUE: "You’re Like” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Afro-Cuban Band
Afro-Cuban Band is a disco project from producer Michael Zager featuring some of his players from his past projects who helped makes his brand of disco music a success. Originally called Love Child’s Afro-Cuban Band this project worked the Spanish/Cuban theme into a disco arrangement – both new and older recordings. The third release for Afro-Cuban Band is “Rhythm Of Life” in 1978 and also featured the track “You’re Like”. This number is a Spanish vibe sounding serenade that flows with vocals by Dolette McDonald. The beauty of this number always memorized my heart with its sweet and light delivery. It is more of an early evening piece or early morning depending on the mood of the crowd.
I have taken the short 3:44 track and moved to create not only a lengthier mix but also a more percussion driven love song. I have used the riffs which always stood out to my ear and also worked them in a new way. The original Zager production is a lovely on to have worked with.
