Lead Me to the Cross—Salsa Cover

I've always wanted to do this—that is, take a CCM song and make it sound Latin American/Brazilian. This song was stuck in my head, and like "Mighty To Save" I did therapy by arranging it in a more or less salsa style.

I have a cold, and this is normally sung by a woman, so I've just played the melody. Anyone interested in recording a part should contact me!

I don't get the references to "therapy" here but the song is awesome! =D

I write and record salsa so I found it real interesting. I'l like 2 maybe help u get the actual salsa rthythm (w/congas, timbales, bongos etc). Also I'd appreciate any info. on how u arranged this. Thanks!

@MiguelCamino7 The "therapy" was that I heard this song for three days straight, and I needed a new version of it in my mind.

I didn't really adhere to salsa rhythms, but I just layered on various Latin syncopations with MIDI instruments.

Sounds like a side-scroller video game soundtrack.

That's what an electric keyboard will do!

please don't apologize, i for one am tired of CCM. We need more christian salsa. I barley ever worship with christian music because most of it is so boring
