You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

What are you playing it on? Guitar, piano, kazoo? You may not even need an instrument. These guys from Havana, Cuba are 100% acapella and they're fantastic.
I've been a on-air radio personality who played top-40 with some older stuff thrown in every so often. I had to listen to this one a few times. The guitar solo (at about 2:34 in the official b/w video) is almost better than the real deal..Look at the second video--it's a live performance in front of an audience. Just a bunch of guys sitting on stools. One of their videos has this description (translated from Spanish):
"This unusual band was formed early 90's at the Instituto Superior de Artes de La Habana by pianist René Baños, singer / guitarist Reinaldo Santer, percussionist and bassist Abel Sanabria, singer and guitarist Jorge Chaviano, trombonist Oscar Porro, and percussionist Renato Mora. What's unusual is that despite being all virtuoso performers of their instruments, they took a vocal approach to traditional Cuban music, with vocals by replacing all the instruments. This characteristic earned them the respect of musicians like Peter Gabriel, David Byrne and Bobby McFerrin, among others."
Totally reminds me of McFerrin and "Don't Worry, Be Happy." Some guy stuck a video of his audio of it on youtube. Says it was 5 tracks. Sounds about right. I've tried other songs.
