For my solo assessment I choose song ''Papanegro'' by Papanegro. So its quite tricky , jumping from slap n popping play to fingers and upright hold on the neck. 

How i found that song ? I get it from my friend who asked me to play it because he was thinking i cant do it . The grade of the song i rating for 8 , So was not very easy to play it . 

Practicing 
I knew how to play a wee bit i Had small problems with the timing , but how to play it properly showed me Colin (bass tutor) - Thank you for it ! - so yeah , few hours per week was enough to learn it .:)

Research 


Hi ! yes , new genre ... DISCO ! Song was chosen together with Ricardo . We were sitting on computer listen to top 20's of Disco songs, and we choose Earth,Wind and Fire - ''September'' . I think that was the best decision .


Practice


We've been struggling about the intro chord and the bridge part  between chorus and verse . But we solve that quite easily .
We put lots of work in it . We were practicing on other days as well no only in performance class, to have everything done perfect.
We had problems with backing vocals on the beginning because they are sing very high . 


Performance


In my opinion was very good . Everything was done ALMOST perfectly . We need to look out for a vocals on the end of the songs , because it is quite high and to finish it in this same time .
